Hope the week is being kind to you so far.
Good news- Sky Poker TV is live tomorrow night from 7pm. Yes, I know so's the Champions League but that's not a problem, you stick that on the TV and stream us via the website.
Or, if you have an iPad or iPhone, via the free Sky Poker app.
Sorted. Now, where were we? Ah yes, tomorrow's show. Leading the charge will be myself, Richard Orford ably abetted by Ryan Spittles...
...and joining us will be two of the game's respected thinkers.
In the studio Barry Carter
and via Skype, the man who's currenty coaching the chip leader at this year's WSOP November Nine...Jared Tendler
Barry and Jared of course wrote the landmark poker book The Mental Game of Poker, which pretty much does exactly what it says on the tin. And does it rather well too.
And now they’ve written a sequel. You’ll never guess what they’ve gone and called it either…
And they have 5 signed copies to give away on the show.
To win one, you simply have to send in a question or comment about...wait for it....the mental game of poker.
I'll just put that in big writing now because I'm sure people skip over the small print sometimes. Bear with me a second...
Send your questions and comments about the mental game of poker to win a signed copy of the book.
Thanks. So, whether it's tilting, the psychology of chatboxes, dealing with variance, or whatever mental aspect of the game you wish to discuss, fire it in and you'll go in the hat. At the end of the night we'll draw out 5 winners.
7-8pm – Tonight on Sky Poker – Super Roller final table from Sunday 14th
8-9pm – Turbo Tuesday – Live early coverage of the Turbo Open
9-10pm – Sky Poker Strategy special part one – Tilt with Barry Carter and Jared Tendler.
10-11pm – Sky Poker Strategy special part two – Q&A, viewers questions, books to give away
11-midnight – Turbo Tuesday – Live coverage of the late stages of the Turbo Open
We think there may be too many questions for Barry & Jared to reply to on the Show, so both mediums are available.
Please see also the Blog which is HERE
...and the "In The Well" thread which is HERE
And obviously Tikay's thread was written by Tikay so it can't be all that good. ;-)
Cheers Rich
What do you do before working with TK? :-)
And of course, being a Tuesday, how could we not do everyone's favourite bonus competition?
The Turbo Open Last Longer Challenge
If you're playing in the main event tell us on this thread that you
want in on the last longer and the player that goes deepest out
of those who enter will win a seat into Thursday's Sky Sports
Bounty Hunter main event!
+ I could do with a copy of "the Mental Game Of Poker"
As playing Poker makes me" Mental"
Mental as in "Mentality"
And if I do not get the book,it will make me more mental.
And then I will have to go and buy the Book!
It seems all you have to do is start chatting about food and he just cant handle it.
Do you have any tips?
Asparagus and hollandaise sauce? NICE!
Last Longer please
my question for the show........
i find that i have to be in the right mood for poker or it goes
so very wrong lol, so for players that do poker for a job...
is there anything they do to keep focused etc
"Will it change my life"
I know when I get a few bad beats and go on tilt,I sign up for a few cheap games,get very aggressive and call almost any two cards.
Then when I get it out of my system I revert to my normal,calm ,logical strategy to win the game!
And most important,get back to enjoying a game of poker,win or lose!
I don't tilt in the traditional sense but my state of mind does affect how I play. If I am confident, I play better. However, there is a point where I get over confident & it goes wrong as well. How do I get into the right state of mind where I have belief but don't make silly mistakes through over confidence.
Couple of hours till we get going.
Remember all questions that we read out on the show tonight (tilt questions from 8pm, all other mental aspects of poker from 9pm) will go in the hat.
At the end of the night- we'll dtraw 5 people from the hat and each can choose if they want a signed copy of either Book 1 or Book 2 of The Mental Game of Poker.
So, make sure you check back at the end of the ngiht or check the end of the thread to see who won as you'll want to specify your prize!
Good luck!
Have a great show!
Regarding Tilt
I don't normally tilt on a big scale, but can be prone to it at times. I'm doing a challenge at the moment between now and Christmas, and I have a target figure I am aiming for. So far this month I have lost atleast 3/4 buy in's to tilt/ spew.
Losing silly buy in's in silly spots is not going to help me achieve the target!
What I normally do is stop playing if it's pretty bad or just carry on through. Sometimes, it's very seldom, but does happen, when you just feel nothing is going to go right. Like when you get in a massive draw and brick everything or get it in with a set and they hit their flush.
The times this happens is really low.
Another thing I do is Tilt withdraw to a certain threshold, so it means I can't play silly and fall below (or drastically below) that level, I find this works brilliantly.
Really tilt doesn't affect me massively, but there is times I am prone to it.
What do you think of just stopping playing at times like these (before it gets worse), or withdrawn to a predetermined number to build back up again?
Also anything else you would suggest?
Thanks
