Today LuckyLukePS is back with something that should benefit your poker and everything else beyond the felt. 

We often talk about the life lessons that poker teaches and one thing is for certain, your mental game issues at the tables reveal a lot about your mindset in other aspects of life. 

This video will show you how to understand where you can improve your mental game and grow by identifying the challenges poker brings up. This includes things like:

  • Ego
  • Entitlement
  • Fight/Flight response
  • Standing up to bullies
  • Fear of failure
  • Self-sabotage
  • Bad habits

Think of poker as a safe space to identify and fix these problems so that when they come up in other aspects of your life, you know how to deal with them.
