Stake Me To Play - Mastering the Mental Game of Poker - Jared Tendler

'Stake Me To Play' introduces an exclusive master class - Mastering the Mental Game of Poker by Jared Tendler

[@seanseaman8108]

Kind of suprised by all the comments here. This video is great great material. Thank you for posting a second one! It doesnt matter how much poker the author actually plays. He is merely talking about different states the mind can be in. That is a topic is a Professional on. He is taking these topics and applying them to the game of Poker. Honestly though, after reading back through my notes, I can apply what he is saying to so many areas of my life its incredible. This could just be called Mastering the Mental Game of Being a Professional at ANYTHING.

[@McGavel1]

Great points! That's why I myself think poker is such a cool game - it seems to apply to everything.

[@3six967]

Appreciate the vid. Tough to admit to weaknesses, but I got alot out of this. There are definitely times that fear gets in the way of my logical abilities.... A while ago I came into some money outside of Poker, and at the time my previously precious Poker bankroll became inconsequential. For a few months my game took off because I no longer had any anxiety around what was set aside for Poker. When life caught up to me, this got paid off, I had to get this and that, and I had to start managing what was left of my windfall, I went on a downswing.... Looking back I figured out the connection, and the fact that when I suddenly wasn't concerned about money in general, and by extension the state of my bankroll, fear was totally lifted from my play and as a result I played better. It was a really big lesson for me. It showed me the difference between seeing decisions at the table being about the cards or being about the money. For me one's logical and one's emotional. So I'm definitely always on guard when a decision on a particular street is in front of me, am I considering this action logically or is there any emotion creeping in to influence what I do? Thanx for the vid 👍

[@Harry-Phatmamba]

This is really interesting stuff. I actually think this could be applied to esports such as Starcraft and League of Legends. Thanks for the seminar.

[@TioHobbit14]

The Phatmamba I guess you dont know the difference between a sport and a game or maybe its just ur english. abraco

[@Harry-Phatmamba]

+TioHobbit14 lol. ok mate. You may wanna read it again. You know just to double check.

[@vivelajonny]

Ya maybe, those games are absolutely trash and a huge net negative on your life, however.

[@ehudkrispil]

One of the best webinars I've taken along the years - thanks Jared!

[@DYImechanicTuro]

very complete. Love the time you dedicate to the mental state of the player. Very complete sir

[@avinashtauro]

Half way through this video and loved it. Thanks for putting this up.

[@McGavel1]

Really cool stuff about how confidence should be linked to skill rather than results, which can alleviate stagnated growth and tilt cycles.

[@tylerjoyner9865]

i bought your book like 6 years ago. it sounded great in theory but for me personally to gain discipline i had to go broke. that did wonders. im just thankful to get dealt in every time i play

[@joshjones9613]

Listened to this while I was playing five sng's. One 1st, three 2nd places, one 3rd. Nice boost to my bankroll. Thanks for helping me stay focused!

[@McGavel1]

I love to watch this after a big win since you taught me that success can often scatter the organized mind more than running bad. GL, never give up, keep up the good work, enjoy journey. Thanks again for sharing gold.

[@kolipas]

Great video. It took a lot of time to finally realise how bad at mental game I was (tbh i even thought it was my strength). The only thing that stood in my way when moving up and grinding was those times when i would just 'lose it'. I'm grateful to have found this video as it pushed me to the right direction at least. Bought both of Jared's books right away, fantastic stuff in there, it is only the beginning and I can already see a difference in my game and the approach. Thank you.

[@MJ-iq9hv]

cool man thanks for this .. I had a friend and the best 1-3 player in my casino suggest this to me after I told him it's my biggest weakness .. and man he wasn't lying .. this really helps .. it's basically stuff I already knew about myself but you pin pointed it for me and also gave me a couple tools to combat it .. my dad keeps saying "oh you just gotta leave" or "everyone runs bad so you gotta have loss limits and just go home" and I keep telling him no that's not the problem the problem is me! going home or quitting after two buy ins doesn't fix the problem. so I'm glad you touched on running away from your problems does NOT fix the problem it only masks it. now I can better explain to him where I'm coming from when we disagree on that. I start playing bad because my mental skill needs work and not because of those typical excuses everyone else makes. I gotta look into your books and also any other free content you have open to the public. ty for the free content. took me a few months to actually get off my ass and watch this LOL but after this last session I am absolute fed up with my mental break downs. enough is enough. i luv your approach and you are def a coach i can relate to. so ty.

[@McGavel1]

Cool point about "Symptom of Fear #2 - Feel rushed to make decision"...As I learn more, I see this also applies to RUSHING OTHERS INTO MAKING DECISIONS. Sometimes I try to rush others into decisions to polarize their range by betting turn when I should think longer about villain's range, especially on low dry flops when high cards turn. Keep up good work. Great stuff. Never give up!!!

[@tannermeridith1550]

this is amazing ... i can relate to so many things in this vid.... this is solid gold for anyone looking to improve their game

[@A2kingsfull]

Wow, very methodical approach.

[@ehudkrispil]

This episode is a hidden gem - thanks Jared

[@jasonhounsell3297]

Haha the 7 tilts - I've had to deal with all of them except revenge as I've had feuds with regulars and players but it's a calculated levelling where adjustments are being made constantly. Worst by far is the desperation one as it does make you jump up in stakes - sometimes it works ok as your much more alert and it kind of snaps you out the tilt -- bad when your still running bad and the 8% hits against you on a big table and you feel like nothing you can do will ever win. However I can't stand losing sessions.

[@loudorchen9897]

I like his thoughts on poker already have the first mental game book about half way through it but I think its helpfull..thank you and well done

[@robertmickelson5438]

# 2 is even better (in my opinion)

[@McGavel1]

This is a treasure trove of information. I'm brushing up to try and play in the Colossus. Thanks again and I'll let you know if I win ~_^

[@McGavel1]

+McGavel1 Regarding Colossus. I could have cashed if I called Mimi Tran with my pocket 8's when i had the read that she had AK and another person had AK also. I couldn't pull the trigger though and didn't triple up near the end of day 1. Got sucked out on for my last 2 hands of the series but played well, considering I hadn't played live poker in 5 years prior.

[@AnthonyVickersSoulJahTYah]

Poker knowledge a must to be a winner. top vid Jared.

[@jasonhounsell3297]

It is also true that sometimes when you tilt it helps you - I did learn a lot when I tilted bad and went full LAG aggro while still being a good player. I'm sure I learned how to be a good LAG during tilt sessions where I read situations well, and in my usual game wouldn't try and move them off the hands, when I'm tilted I'll fire the 2.5X pot overbet in good spots and put people in real bad spots. Then it helps you to incorporate the overbets at good times (problem when I'm tilted is the "really, every single hand they are going to have the nuts? - oh of course they have AK and I have QK on a KAK flop!"

[@aansul333]

Just bought the first book. Planning to attend your WPT mental boot camp in august.

[@JaredTendler]

Great, look forward to seeing you out there.

[@joshjones9613]

great video. needs to be watched by any poker player.

[@whatreally9]

I'm 27 been playing since I was 19. Tilt has really almost disappeared. Plus the best part is I know longer have to end up money which was a big problem, after losing several buy ins I can take th day or days of doesn't matter. When I lose serious money say 10+ buy ins I take few weeks off. In the past I'd grind like an idiot these days i get the opposite temptation feel like taking a serious break. If you aren't a calm composed person in your real life, who is pensive and not rash you simply cannot play poker. Poker is for the mentally strong I'm not a great player just average but mental game losses can be the difference between a winning and losing player

[@Lsteezy]

Great video brtha. Been running bad in my restart of my online poker career (10yr layoff) so i catching my mind taking me to negative town but that is not who i am and know im just getting in the way of my path to greatness and i appreciate you for this video to kinda bring me back home. I understand there is much more to my words here lol but im sure u get the jist of it 😳😉. Haha Thanks again brtha. Wish you continued success in All Apsects of life. 👍🏼

[@McGavel1]

Besides "Inner Tennis", some other books I bet you would really like are: • "Zen guitar" • "Slaying the Dragon: How to Turn Your Small Steps to Great Feats" ~ by Michael Johnson, the only person to win the 200m and 400m gold in the same year in the Olympics. He kept getting injured in high school track and couldn't compete in the year's-end track meets due to leg injury year after year. He reverse engineered his goals to become a great runner and realized he needed to strengthen his legs with weight training. A great book about eventually making the inevitable decision to conquer one's observed weaknesses that stand in the way of one's goals - the dragon.

[@paulroos8658]

Zen and the art of poker by larry phillips, very helpful

[@McGavel1]

Assuming that the acknowledgement of a weakness is as good as solving it is the same as making a to-do list and assuming everything's done. I like the 4 stages of learning model.

[@iplay4rollz986]

8 years later , very interesting and relevant today

[@McGavel1]

Great stuff also about assessing my mental game, thanks!

[@Bazman776]

Hi Jared, I'm a big fan of your material, but I have to say that I think you made a mistake in regards to saying that "you can't always play your a-game". You seem to interpret "a-game" as the ability to make the best decisions possible and say that it will change over time, but I believe what most players mean by "a-game" is playing to the best of their current abilities and level of understanding. It refers to approaching decisions from an optimal perspective rather than making optimal decisions.

[@McGavel1]

Good points, but he said, "You can't always play your A-game IF YOU'RE ALWAYS IMPROVING." This is because YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW so if you always only play as good as you do now, then you're not improving as much as you could cuz there are ALWAYS MANY ways to improve your game that you're unaware of - ALWAYS ~_^ Keep up good work and good point again. That's just my 2 cents - never give up!

[@celli2191]

Thank you needed to hear this

[@McGavel1]

Regarding tilt being a good thing that reveals weaknesses upon which one may improve, a quote by Michael Jordan, "I succeeded so many times because I failed so many times."

[@thesolarempire7104]

Thanks, I learned a ton.

[@theartofcompetition5965]

these types of "tilt" can apply to all forms of competitions

[@onesportwonder]

There is also research that you can increase the amount of willpower you have.

[@McGavel1]

good point! try things you never thought would work, see how they fail, then think about how you can make them work (situations in which they might work). GL - never give up! Keep up good work!

[@v.v.7337]

Thank you

[@DannyHusk82]

Great video. I just got your book and am excited to read it. Can you explain further "running bad tilt?" Are you saying that it is not a real thing but rather an accumulation of the various other forms of tilt? I don't think I picked up on that theory too clearly. Thank you. Justin

[@JaredTendler]

Running bad tilt is a real thing. People do tilt a lot more when they're running bad. And yes, it is an accumulation of various other types of tilt. The reason that distinction is important is when it comes to solving Running Bad Tilt. You need to figure out the various types of tilt that appear when you're running bad, solve each one and then apply that correction to minimize the accumulation of tilt when running bad. Make sense? Does that answer it?

[@DannyHusk82]

Jared Tendler I gotcha now. Thank you.

[@McGavel1]

Wow, I came back to watch this since I've been taking so many bad beats. Feels good to think about these things again instead of focussing on my bad beats. Thanks again.

[@youtubedeletedmynamewhybother]

I think this video applies to a lot more than just games of poker. You could maybe almost just call this “anti-tilt mental guide” Or something. Either way, good content. Thanks.

[@praisegod8871]

Hey Jared my name is Adam. I've watched all your videos and MAN this is really good content. Everything you talk about is right on with what you need to do in order to turn yourself from just good to PRO. Thank you for your contribution to the game for people who need to elevate their skills and let go of those barriers. Are you still coaching? Do you know any coaches on game play fundamentals too? Please get a hold of me, I'm very much interested in talking with you.

[@JaredTendler]

Hey Adam, yup, I'm still coaching, you can get more info here: jaredtendlerpoker.com/coaching/

[@Hoops590]

I Know I'm the best player. That's my mental game. Here is some advice on how to relax after long session before sleep; read a book that is on a completely different topic. Makes it easier to sleep, it works.

[@theartofcompetition5965]

I think the bottom line for signs of the zone are simply put zero distractions. stress, focusing on past events, emotions, etc are all distractions.

[@McGavel1]

This is great stuff man, thanks!

[@shivasirons6159]

Running bad doesn't tilt me but it can make me take more risk.

[@vinz3232]

I'm only 35 minutes in, great video on the subject, I like the tilt area but I don't see really any solutions for it. Is that in your book? I meditate everyday, I listen to podcasts but any other solutions to avoid the tilt factor?

very nice vid thanks for sharing! :)

[@cowan6969123]

When I'm playing good I can't even eat..far too focused and driven..however once that win comes then the mindset changes again...I'm trying to find this hunger/desire state..ya see the game in a different way and can be 4 steps ahead of everyone lol betting sizes perfectly measured,steals and lines all on point, confidence in bluffs..and folds ....opposite end of the spectrum..tilty,timings way off,seem card dead,nitty passive play or reckless frustrated aggression 😂

[@LaughAtPedos]

I lost close to $200 when I first started playing NLHE online, basically due to me getting a cooler and then absolutely losing it afterwards. The mental game is everything in poker.

[@MJ-iq9hv]

gah I luv the zone ....

[@Agjmdpu]

When I am Deep, I am scared of calling even with AK. Because bad beats happens so often to me. And folding is the only option to avoid them. Any suggestions of improvement?

[@austingaber9357]

Don’t call, raise and try to realize that in poker it’s a marathon and not a sprint so you should always be playing the correct way and you’ll get rewarded for it more often than not. Can’t be afraid with a top 10 hand

[@2010coolhunk]

i have one question for ou mr tendler . have you mastered yourself the game of poker ? if yes then share with us any significant win ..

[@SnakeMinced]

he remembers me of daniel negreanu

[@ts3784]

oh please. Don’t tell me please about strategy and stats. I had AA and placed a large bet, the villain called, flop A22, I checked he raised, I called. The turn was a 9, he went all in and I called. The river brought a third 2 and he showed 92os.

[@lmquan082]

That's why i don't really see Poker as a sport but simply a fun betting game. Imo 50% of the game is about luck, it's bascially selective gambling and mind game gambling

[@shivasirons6159]

Phil hellmuth= entitlement tilt!

Oops too late ,you just mentioned him as ivtype., You might ascribe players to types of tilt.

[@DWill8PG]

this guy is a professional rambler

[@whodouthinkuare]

Jared, do you play poker yourself?

[@quality333]

He has yet to tell us if he plays and how much he won or lost . I can save everyone time and money by giving out the two secrets in winning at poker. 1. You need a huge bankroll at the table 2. Need the cards . If you dont have either or both all the skills tactfulness mental toughness and bluffing will get you absoulutely nowhere

[@canadianpoker83]

You need a huge bankroll at the table? Lol what? I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to convey there.

[@quality333]

What am i trying to convey? Huge bankroll absorbs the losses a lot better than having a small bankroll at the table and going broke without being able to recoup your losses Does that make sense?

[@canadianpoker83]

You don't need a huge bankroll. You need proper bankroll management and the proper bankroll for the stakes that you are playing. Also you don't take your bankroll to the table. Only a small portion of it. If you're playing at a table a lose a buy-in you by back in.

[@quality333]

dont buy it. The more chips you have in front of you gives you more confidence Its like that with blackjack or any other casino gaming. Ive been playing since 1982 Not poker but BJ Im just starting to get into poker which i should have done at a younger age for i might have made a ton of money if i was playing the last 30 yrs

[@quality333]

Its all about feeling confident when you are on a roll an incredible feeling of invincibility that invokes fear in your opponents . Ivey goes all in with 5 2 off suit after his opponent raises twice while Ivey reraises forcing his opponent to fold with a K 7 When i used to play BJ i would hit with 16 while dealer showed face card and win and beat him the entire night

[@shivasirons6159]

JUST LET ME FOLD IN PEACE!The mental game? What drives me crazy is " reverse " bad beats, im talking about folding 9-4o. Only to see that it turned into the nutz in a 3 way huge pot!, Ok it happens , but then your aces get cracked by 5-6 o.

[@theartofcompetition5965]

I love your content, its similar to mine. Im going to post a new video later this week about beating yourself (power point). and im looking to put out a second video on this topic with a guest such as a sports coach. or someone like yourself would be perfect. would you be interested in making a collaboration video?
