Poker Strategy Three Insights From Your Future Poker Self URL has been copied successfully! Dear poker player I used to be, Hi.I’ve been sent here from the future to teach you 3 things that will lighten your journey, both on and off the felt.The only thing is, neither of the first two will have any impact whatsoever if you don’t accomplish the third, and you have to do them in order, so let’s begin.Number OneYou’re going to make a lot of mistakes and you are going to lose a lot of hands, that much I can promise you. What I can’t be sure of – since I was never able to accomplish it myself – is what would have happened if I had learned how to stop turning small mistakes into big problems. How much easier would the journey have been had I stopped turning an unlucky turn of the cards into a raging internal battle of self-doubt? Or, conversely, an almost ego-maniacal sense of self-involvement to think myself so important that the universe would actively conspire against me using river bad beats as its weapon of choice.Because the thing you learn, as you keep making mistakes, that be it via the direction of the universe or that of the placebo effect, if you believe you will fail for long enough – you will ultimately and undoubtedly prove yourself right.So expect failure, but continue to believe. Believe in the work. Believe in self-improvement. Believe in your resilience and ability to navigate the emotional hardships bound to come your way. Viktor Frankl’s book Man’s Search For Meaning will be a huge help in teaching you how to do that, don’t wait to read it as long as I did. Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Number TwoWhether it’s with Frankl, your health, or your study of the game, don’t wait any longer to make good choices all throughout your life. Don’t try to change all at once, or even change a lot. Just make little shifts, only some of the time to begin. A page of a book, a minute of movement, a moment of mindfulness, a text of gratitude and appreciation. In the gap between who you are and who am I rests vast landscapes of opportunity, all of which should be sought with consistency over speed, with patience rather than desire, and with self-reflection, not avoidance or blame. Ask yourself what you’ll want, sitting where I am today. That moment is coming – and if there is one thing I can assure you of, there are very few pains like the regret of wasted potential and self-inflicted suffering.Number ThreeWe are wired to love others, but are taught far too early the importance of learning to wall ourselves off. Whether by parents too far underwater to avoid their own mistakes, or peers desperate for power they can use to offload their own pain unto us, we learn the lesson, wrong as it may be, that I am in danger. This feeling overwhelms us, puts us on the defensive, causes us to take stands against one another – feelings of fear and division held dearly on both sides.Remember when I told you that you could uphold my first two lessons – not to turn small mistakes into big problems, and to turn small actions into magnificent change – and it still wouldn’t mean a thing without accomplishing the third? That’s because if you do not learn to let go of the fear, if you do not work through the anger, if you do not give yourself the freedom to release the pain – through therapy or meditation or finding a solitary spot in the woods to yell yourself hoarse – I promise you, all of it will come out in the worst moments possible. It will overwhelm you specifically when a calculated decision has to be made – when all the chips, the whole bankroll, everything you’ve worked for is at risk.You will learn this, either by heeding my words here today and beginning the work of healing, or when you’ve flushed yet another 100 hours of dedication into the abyss in less than a day.Ultimately, the choice is yours; so choose to make making the right one a habit. Because if you build goodness inside yourself – and then work to spread it around you, whether you “make it” or not in the context of poker, you will always end up winning the game.With love and affection,You.PS.
