In this episode, Gareth and Tricia tackle a timely listener question: What do most players get wrong when preparing for the World Series of Poker (WSOP)? If you’re gearing up for the WSOP (or any major poker series) and want to avoid common pitfalls, this conversation is for you. They discuss:
  • Why tying your self-worth to poker results is so dangerous: How linking your identity to wins and losses leads to emotional swings and burnout – and ways to keep your confidence steady regardless of outcomes.

  • The power of consistent routines: How solid pre-game rituals, in-game reset techniques, and post-game reviews keep you focused and mentally sharp throughout a long series like the WSOP.

  • Process orientation vs. outcome obsession: Why a process-focused mindset beats fixating on results (especially when around 85% of the field won’t even cash), and how focusing on what you can control leads to better long-term performance.

  • The danger of last-minute overhauls: Why the week before the WSOP is not the time to reinvent your entire game or make frantic strategic changes. Avoid the urge to “fix” your strategy due to a recent downswing – stick with what you’ve practiced and trust your preparation.

  • Sleep, nutrition, and recovery as secret weapons: How neglecting basic self-care can sabotage your performance. Gareth and Tricia emphasize prioritizing quality sleep, good nutrition, and rest days, and explain why trying to play every event (or partying every night) on minimal rest often backfires.

  • Smart bankroll management and scheduling: Planning out your WSOP events and budget ahead of time. Learn why it’s wise to sell action and set a realistic schedule so you don’t run out of funds or stress about money halfway through the series. (The last thing you want is to blow your entire bankroll before the Main Event!)

  • Handling tilt and emotional swings: Evidence-based techniques to stay composed when variance hits hard. They share how acceptance strategies, 6-2-7 breathing exercises, and the “second dart” technique can help you regulate emotions, avoid tilt, and recover quickly from bad beats or bustouts.
