Episode 106 - Bust or Build? (What To Do When You Lose Half Your Stack in a Tournament)

Author: Poker On The Mind Podcast May 3, 2021 Duration: 30:10
Welcome to Episode 106! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Mindset Coach & Educator Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker strategy & mindset. The hosts started off by catching up on Gareth’s progress towards his morning routine as well as his next 12 Week Year.

Then, they turned their attention to answering a question posted in Gareth’s Facebook group by Tyler. Tyler thinks he has a mental block around losing 50% of his stack because whenever that happens to him, he rather just bust than build it back up.

Topics covered include:

● The importance of sticking to a morning routine
● Why planning in 12 week increments is a good way to stay on track and make progress towards business, physical and mental game goals
● How we can feel the urge to do something (just bust when we lose 50% of our stack) and not do it in order to meet our overall goals
● Why it’s important to realize that poker can be mentally painful but we don’t have to give in to feel good in the moment
