I’ve spent a lot of hours listening to high-stakes players talk about their game – not for entertainment, but because hearing how someone navigated a downswing, rebuilt after going broke, or forced themselves to study when results weren’t coming helped me stay on my own path when things got rough.
There were stretches where I wasn’t sure I was improving. Sessions where I questioned whether the work was going anywhere. During those periods, hearing a pro describe the same doubt and what they did about it was worth more than any strategy video.
This page collects all the podcast episodes I’ve broken down so far. Each link takes you to my full write-up with key takeaways, standout moments, and how I think the lesson applies, whether you’re playing $5 SNGs or $500 buy-ins. I believe you will find value in those pages.
