033: The cure for your poker anxiety

Beyond Poker - A podcast by Nick Howard

Categories:

What's up, guys? This is a talk I had with a player who had a lot of anxiety around his poker career. Specifically, anxiety around making mistakes. The reason I love this episode and why I decided to include it is because I found myself spontaneously going into a totally different direction than I expected to with the consult, something just occurred in me. It said, this kid doesn't want advice. This kid needs reassurance. So I hope that this speaks to all of you who came from unsupportive environments where there was not enough guidance, specifically in the moments when you needed it the most, because you made a big mistake and you knew it, and it felt like shit and nobody was there. If that sounds relatable to you, I hope this episode gives you some new frameworks for how to navigate mistakes in a healthier way.
