Episode 44 - SHRB, XL PowerScoop Update and Avoiding Bad Habits

Summary: MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Consultant Dr. Tricia Cardner spend Episode 44 discussing Gareth’s recent runs in SCOOP (and other assorted online poker festivals) while he was in residence at a grind house with a few other players. They also discussed the recent Super High Roll Bowl where Daniel Negreanu started out with a strong focus, even as Doug Polk attempted to troll him (and Gareth explained the backstory of the feud which led to said trolling). Sadly, his focus seemed to wane at the final table and may have contributed to his 2nd place finish. We also analyzed Phil Hellmuth’s strategy for a bit. <br><br>Gareth then turned his attention to analyzing a spot between Petrangelo and Daniel Negreanu and broke down some of the mathematics behind the spot.

Casino play does tend to be a bit better and Ken doesn’t want to mess up his game – even though he is quite profitable in the cigar lounge. <br><br>As the start of the WSOP is here, we are including a link to Kenny Hallaert’s spreadsheet of 2018 Las Vegas summer poker schedules which you can find here: <br><br><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qpxeIG3O7IVPq_loaFNGTKixAHmxLLdQPHxm1z2GX4E/edit#gid" rel="noopener">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qpxeIG3O7IVPq_loaFNGTKixAHmxLLdQPHxm1z2GX4E/edit#gid</a>=308492317<br><br>Want us to answer your poker question? <br><br>Post it in Dr. Tricia’s private Facebook group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/PokerMindsetMasteryLab/" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/PokerMindsetMasteryLab/</a><br><br>Or in Gareth’s private Facebook group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/mttpokerschoolclassroom" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/mttpokerschoolclassroom</a><br><br>Tweet us:<br><br>@drtriciacardner <br>@MTTpokerschool<br><br>Don’t forget to Sign up to get your FREE MTT Tools at: <a href="https://www.mttpokerschool.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.mttpokerschool.com/</a><br><br>Enroll in Dr. Cardner’s FREE online goal-setting course called: Rev Up Your Poker Success (<a href="http://bit.ly/RevPoker)" rel="noopener">http://bit.ly/RevPoker)</a> <br><br>Still putting off signing up for my course Crack the Code: Free Yourself from Procrastination?
