Author: Poker On The Mind Podcast January 25, 2021 Duration: 34:53
Welcome to Episode 92! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Mindset Coach & Educator Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker including both strategy & mindset. After starting off with a brief catch-up about their latest activities, the hosts turned to answering a hand history question sent in by Lewis where he asked about bluffing the river.

Topics covered include:

• The concept of periodization and why you should focus on training one skill at a time
• How to decide which hands you should bluff when you get to the river with no showdown value
• How you should size your bluffs to most often get your desired result
• The ratio of value bets to bluffs that are recommended for various bet sizes
