Author: Poker On The Mind Podcast May 24, 2021 Duration: 35:05
Welcome to Episode 108! 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 talking a bit about the fall WSOP & the potential it has given the pent up demand that likely exists for live poker.

Then, they turned their attention to answering a hand history question sent in by Cruz where he questioned whether or not he should use his hand as a bluff catcher on the river.

Topics covered include:

● The importance of evaluating each street to determine the proper play
● Why looking at your range from all perspectives is key
● How to decide which hands would make good bluff catcher candidates
● Why it’s important to determine whether villain is weighted more towards bluffs or value before making a river decision
