Just moments ago, I sent an email out to my subscribers. Instantly, I received a response from Earl who said, "Great email. Put a totally different spin on my poker thoughts. Thank you."
 
I love instant gratification! Thank you, Earl!
 
Frankly, I had started to send one of those limp messages about holiday cheer, but realized there was a huge poker lesson in what I had been experiencing over the last few weeks.
 
With the encouragement from Earl, I'd like to share that email message with you: Read More→

Poker is my life. Poker coaching is my passion.
 
Some of you know my story of taking my poker coaching business virtually; many do not. Briefly, in 2007 after finishing in the top 4 women in the WSOP(tm) main event, I was poised to make a big name in the industry, which would naturally attract more poker coaching clients.

In April 2010, I received the following message through my Facebook page from a woman poker player I had just befriended:
 
 
"I just wanted to tell you I went on your website over the weekend, and I am using your poker mantra, "When you can't raise, you can't call!" I have it on a big note on my computer that I keep up when I am playing online… Have to say I've only lost 2 tournaments since then. Been winning a lot. It's a really great saying. I thought if one saying could have such an effect on my play, what would your class do for my game? I really would like to bring my game up to the next level."

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Poker players are constantly asking me, "What is the key to becoming a winning poker player?"

The answer is simple. Pure and simple. Develop the habit of playing winning poker. 

It is not about getting great cards. Because, they don't come along frequently enough to make a significant difference. Read More→

Poker players know how hard it is to fold pocket aces. I call that learning to release that which no longer serves you.
Knowing when to fold is a vital part of a becoming a consistent winner at the poker table. Knowing when to release anything in your life when it is time is one of the most challenging parts of life. Read More→

Poker coaching has brought people into our lives from around the world that have become much more than coaching clients. They have become dear friends, and they continue to enrich our lives.
As a poker coach, I am a reflection of the people I coach. They make me a better poker coach. For that, I am profoundly grateful. Read More→

Poker training and coaching is first about you. Secondly, it is about the other players. Lastly, it is about the cards.

Focusing on your abundance, one of the exercises I have my poker-coaching clients do is a 40-day gratitude journal. Each evening for 40 days, write 10 things for which you are grateful. The only rule is that each entry must be unique. Do not repeat yourself. This enables you to look for the blessings in the most remote places of your life. Read More→

Yesterday, I got an interesting email from a poker coaching client in Australia. He and another player were talking about playing cash games at the Crown Casino in Melbourne. The other player said, "I don't play down to zero. If I start with $300 and lose $200, I will then get up and walk away."
 
That's what I call a 'Stop Loss' point. Every winning poker player needs one. What is yours? If you don't have one, it is time to decide… BEFORE your next poker outing. Read More→

 Poker lessons come out of the woodwork for me. That's what happened with this silly cat video that's been viewed over 18 million times. I wonder how many of those people saw a poker life lesson in it?

When I watched it, the cat reminded of that voice that keeps nudging and whispering softly, "fold…fold…fold…" Near the end of the video, you'll see what frequently happens to me when I ignore that, oh, so faint voice. Click HERE to watch video => Read More→
