This channel is impressive. Happy to get in early at
The 'Stay with me' thing is my nr1 leak looking back at my first year of playing poker. Started July 2023. I found that especially on the turn i checked or small bet way to much to keep people in, but what happened instead was that my opponents so many times realised their equity while i was ahead and should have bet.
Only a few days ago I was going over hands in PT4, sorting by RFI, call, 3bet etc and basically saw that most of my preflop game is decent but my postflop play, especially on the turn was dreadful. Now I've introduced bigger sizings on turn and the difference is massive. When I win hands, I win big pots, I get to fold out all the draws that usually got there by the river when I didnt bet. And when I get called, alarmbells go off and i'm capable of doing good laydowns.
I've only been doing this for a few days now and had 3 winning sessions and 1 losing one. While before it was mostly losing sessions with once in a while a decent bink to keep me just a slightly losing player. Looking forward to the upcoming months to see where my progression is going to take me.
Very informative video btw, sub.
I've posted feedback before on videos and was the guy that called out some of your students for being nits. I think these are really good videos you've made from a learning perspective. Even for myself as a very redline strategy player I still have some of these mental game leaks. Namely not being calm as I need to be during bluffs, I tend to not feel anything really or get particularly upset being called but get a natural high when a huge bluff gets through. Thanks for posting.
Another great and well done content from you! Thank you bro!
Really excellent video - nailed some stuff i need some work on. Thank you!
5/5
one of the best contents i've ever seen about the mental game. congratz and thank you.
As always, Pete blows me away with his approach to the game. I have never considered how the mental game works in the middle of the hand. Really eye opening to lots of different scenarios. Thanks Pete!
Nice video. And also a very nice book about the mental game!! First: I fixed it. 2nd: yup happens sometimes (working on it) . 3rd Yup (also working on it but in big pots its quite a challenge--> i am saying to myself, this is good bluff does not matters if he calls or not, I am sometimes happy when i see a call after a minute with a very strong hand, which probably means he would fold most of his range). 4th. Not really (of course I am a little pupping up when I see AAs at one of the tables), 5th: sure (is quite a difficult one to fix: maybe because I like eating dogs:)). I think my biggest mental game leaks at the moment is snap decisions in big river situations. Your tip in just dont do anything for approx 10 seconds in your books really helps, but sometimes I forget it.
3/5 😅
Definitely the best poker channel on youtube, thanks Pete !
Excellent stuff Pete, I recognize myself in quite a few of those
100% agree. I've been saying it for awhile, mental game decides if aspiring pros are winners or a losers in poker
Love Poker Therapy book. Definitely upwards of 4 of 5 to varying degrees depending on which mental mode I am operating at in game.
Listened to your interview with Elliot Roe! Great stuff!
Even if I stopped playing poker, I would still watch your videos as you are the funniest poker content creators out and seem to be a pretty good one as well . Love the content, I just got the cash injection mini course and look forward to going through it
I have all but the strong hands must get action one. I don't have any trouble piling money in when I have a good hand. I only slow play the maniacs. I suffer from the others in varying degrees. Mostly the uncomfortable decision. My risk aversion comes from being too results oriented. A bad call or a bad bluff will wreck my whole session, better play in safe is probably the most paralyzing mental leak in my game. I also fall into the trap of the ends justifying the means. It worked so must have been the right play. It didn't work must have been the wrong play. X therefore Y, I can talk myself into making a decision without fully analyzing the spot. I sometimes go on autopilot, which may not even fit into x therefore y. Great video. I want that book.
Your videos are so fun and full of insight that I watch some every day recently. I'm no native English speaker, and spent 5 years mastering a rather okay American Accent. But now I just can't help talking in a weird half Scottish way.
Solid gold Pete. The book and the video as well.
I stopped watching your vids, watched the one with the redline, which I commented on discord (very fucking excellent job) and now this one -> I need to start watching more of your content again. These vids are briliant. Srsly, everywhere you see the technical side of the game -> more or less about same things. This type of vids, this is really it for me.
I also love the way you put it. Nice analogies -> getting older getting wiser I guess! :D Good job Peter, keep em coming! Might even open that book which I have somewhere hidden burried under the pio sims :D
And yeah, the please fold please fold, is me 100% Obviously mixed with others too
Couple of years ago, I had the impression that you weren't the deal.
I was crazy. Your content is high quality and I hope your business is as strong as ever !
I got told about you by my friend Corrie, we are from Scotland as well. I have watched a few of your videos now, and really like them, but honestly today was like you were mind reading or some shit like that haha. Great content dude, I am all 5.
Thank You Pete for this video.
I have subscription on 2 coaching sites,but I still prefer to watch your free videos on RUclips instead 😊
Great Work
i'm a recent student, got the carrot poker 3 grades. absolutely love it.
Wow, 4 of 5! Very great video!
This is probably your best video ever Pete in terms of how important and relevant this is to the average player.
I myself would say my technical knowledge is like a 9/10. I know roughly what GTO would do in most spots etc. But I am without a doubt a mental game fish probably a 6/10 at best.
I read Jared Tendlers book on the mental game which is a must read for anyone struggling.
Hi Pete, great video! Is there any way to purchase poker therapy as a printed book? I'm very keen to buy it but already spend far too much time staring at screen! Cheers
personally I have to disagree with the commercial value introduction, I somehow stumbled upon this book in 2020 and I was so impressed with the content that I ended up buying practically your entire inventory 😄
Brilliant analysis
I think as one begins to get into poker it's likely they'll have all 5 of these, as you get into strategy it gets easier to overcome these and look at poker through a different lens. When I started I'm pretty sure I had all 5 of these, nowadays I have #3 and #4, need to detach from my bluffs and put more thought into betting big with my nutted hands.
this is the exact video I needed right now,
Thank you Pete.
I play more live than online these days bc fun social and much softer games for more money. But this format gives rise the biggest mental leak I've uncovered in my game. Tiredness. The sleepless nights and traveling really take it out of me.
Oh and probably 5/5 to one extent or another.
I care too much about my results, but bizarrely, only when my graph is trending upwards. When I'm not getting such good results for whatever reason, I'm fairly level-headed and don't really let it affect me too much. When I do well for a period of time and see a nice upward spike on my graph, I start really caring too much about protecting those "gains"...I then start playing nitty, passive poker, which invariably leads to worse results. Even today, had a winning session but played C-game at best. So many spots I could have aggressed but chickened out because I cared too much about not losing buy ins and seeing the graph dip
Me,too. Sometimes when I get really lucky and win four or five buyins I got so scared of not being able to preserve that luck that I'd rather end my session early.
2/5, which is wild cause I believe Mental Game is whats holding me back. I think this particular video mostly danced around my issue, which is volume.
cheers pete i had 0 mental game leaks, now i have 5?.... and my neibour is wondering where their dog went 😂🎉
Thank you PETE!!!!
1-2/5, shocking. playing for 20y now(decent winning player) and biggest problems are:
keep motivation to play on a regular basis
setting goals in general (short ones fine, long term goals no chance)
lack motivation to study (only watch players solving hands etc.)
quit sessions once 3 stacks down, even its only 10 min, not touching the game for days (the extreme).
super bad habbits i cant get over with being a results orientated peach (although i know better).
Yep and the longer these habits are entrained the harder they are to overcome. Sometimes it’s easier coaching very new players than ones who have played for a long time with such issues.
Thanks for that.
For me it’s 3/5 for sure. I don’t have problems betting strong hands; if Villain is going to fold they will fold. I think people are super-inelastic on flop bets so pot sized bets can be used to build big pots. No 5 is not so much of a problem either. I would take issue with the “indifference” aspect of your bluffs. In the moment i agree, since I play live 90% of the time and say 30-40% of pool i see all the time it is valuable to know how players react. Do they like to play sheriff or not??
Do you upload podcasts? Id like to listen to talk while commuting.
I actually read this book, and I found it more helpful than any other single piece of poker education😻
What’s the book!? 🤓
My biggest mental weak is thinking I dont have any mental leaks
It’s hard to make a binary decision on these, they all happen sometimes.
1) Don’t Believe You: sometimes, but SO expensive when I spaz on a big call, it needs work!
2) Ouch; sometimes, usually snap out of it pretty quick though
3) Please fold: Big bluffs only, this one has gotten much better as I’ve seen them as necessary part of my my quest to get paid big with big hands.
4) Stay w me: A factor, but getting better as I see these bets paired with big bluffs, same point as above, really.
5) X therefore Y: Big problem. Need to work on this a ton.
So I’d weight myself as 3.75 / 5
Great vid, ty.
It seems heavily inspired by CBT, do you have some background / interest in that?
My dog recommended me this video. Such a great stuff so I gave him extra food
Is it a sufficient reason to watch it
Realistically Pete you are just as funny as you are knowledgeable about poker. The dog bit was both logically true and funny but just so fucking hilarious.
I was a 5/5 but lately I'm waffling between 3 & 4.
1/5 I do the "I don't believe him", I gotta stop that
Mental game is what keeps me ahead of most people!! GOOSFRABA
@18:02 I *love* cookies..
I liked the cover of the book.
Pete, we need a video or podcast conversation debating the morality of eating the dog vs the morality of eating a cow/chicken/pig that you've also raised since they were tiny. (No, I'm not a vegan, or a vegetarian and I adore dogs)
Don't blame you. Dogs are delicious. I'd be reticent to publish the fact you eat dogs on the internet though. A lot of trolls also happen to be animal lovers.
I have at least 5 of those. 😊
Where's Pete from in the UK? Nice accent.
Well, 5 of 5 of course!
5/5
3 of 5
5/5 All of them.
Why are we not eating the dog ? Is cos we haven't finished the cats yet ?
4:30 idk Pete. Chasing down the street shouting profanities is the most bad ass response and has quantifiable utility
Gotta let the neighbours know not to f with your jordans
4/5
6/5 leaks
WHY IS IT WRONG TO EAT THE DOG? HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM EATING COWS AND CHICKENS?
0:00 Did you just say "hagus"?
Haggis maybe? You should try it.
@@CarrotCornerPoker Maybe if I ever go across the pond. You said "Hi guys" really fast and I was just needling you!
27:00 cause I'm chinese
Guilty of 5/5 sadly
However that's about to change
I don't see a logical flaw in the eating dog statement.
Online poker is messed up for sure. In the past ten years in live poker I’ve been on hot runs many times, mindless wins. But in 250k hands on pokerstars I’ve never gone on a mindless hot run. Make that make sense.
I know why. Live cash is soft. Online, you probably did go on hot runs. The difference is players are paying you off at a significantly less rate. I’ve seen too many well studied players succeed to believe the online rigging conspiracy
Try 2.5 million hands for a better sample size.
The products your trying to sell, you need to tell us what you play and your results? I ain't just investing without no credible backing information.
Eat the damn dog!
Fact check: It’s the boomers driving the cars with the push button start, and the broke-ass millennials driving the beat up civics with turn key ignitions. 😂 Love you carrot.
