    It’s perfect show to download and listen to at the gym. Last note some of the concepts I feel are over looked by other poker gurus .

    Example the episode on reversed fortunes really hi... more

Cutting a session short when you are still feeling good and fresh and up on the day could be a great way of bui... more

Q: How do you feel about your hand-reading ability after focusing on theory for a while?
It feels a bit rusty at first, but once I practiced again, it came back to optimal condition, powered by my theory understanding.
Hero Calls and Fish Logic
Q: Do you think theory is necessary for everyone in poker?
No, while theory helps, it's not mandatory for everyone to have their in-game performance suffer for the sake of theoretical knowledge. Regular practice keeps hand-reading skills sharp.
