MTT coach and mindset expert LuckyLukePS returns with a new webinar in his LeakBuster series

Today our coach tackles the two biggest inner battles you will face in MTTs - how to deal with bad variance, and how to reduce variance in the first place.  

Variance plays a huge role in MTTs and those times we bust in stages 18-11 are some of the most frustrating to deal with, because you have invested so much time and just missed out on a big prize. 

Find out tonight how to limit the variance in MTTs, and more importantly, how to avoid going on tilt when you do brick a big event.
