Poker With Presence

Learn to stay focused without always needing to put everything on the line.

If something someone says or does bothers you, take it as a sign that it's reflective of something you're already thinking or believing.

The life you've lived and the people you've come across have programmed you to respond to specific things in specific ways. Presence gives you the ability to choose another path if that's what you really want.

Hard things happen, and the pain never really goes away—it's our job to keep growing bigger around that pain so that we can keep moving on with our lives.

Use your emotional intelligence to move through downswings that come right after an upswing.

With great possibility comes great energy and emotions—so much to be presenced and so many edges to explore.

Before you go into deep technical analysis after your sessions, be sure to check in with yourself first to see how you feel about it first.

When we start something we never expect things to snowball out of control—but it does happen, and what you do in that first moment is what really matters.

One key skill in poker and life is the ability to increase your capacity to enjoy what's happening in the moment without splitting your attention elsewhere.

In order to overcome your fear of failure in poker, you have to get completely present with the idea that failure is always on the table—get comfortable with this, and you free yourself up to play your best.
