Poker With Presence

Presence gives you the ability to find the plays that you need and want on a moment by moment basis.

Mastering a few critical concepts is far better for your performance than trying to learn and implement a hundred new things.

When you go straight to the mental reframe in times of stress, it's not actually giving your nervous system what it needs to calm down so you can get back to playing your best.

If you want your friends and family to start living with more presence so they can live happier lives—show, don't tell.

Once you've done the work to become a skilled player who is consistently working on your game, there's one final element you need to add to go to the top—you.

Studies show that the more you get into your head, the more you become susceptible to performing below your standards.

When you routinely fall into the trap of "next time will be different" you fail to account for how you are the common element in a life where you're not getting what you want.

Sometimes you might as well just do the opposite of what your mind is telling you. The key is figuring out when you're in one of those times.

If you want to win as much as possible, you need to learn how to get out of your own way—and not let fear dictate your decisions when things are going amazingly well.

The biggest winners aren't the smartest or most knowledgable people—they're the ones who can continually press their advantage without others catching on and adjusting, a painful and expensive lesson I had to learn in my early years.
