If your name isn't on the above list, don't feel bad. Every year millions of people play poker from small Saturday night games around the kitchen table to mega poker tournaments for thousands of bucks and even some private games where millions change hands and the public never knows about, and most of those people that play in those games will never be on that list of top poker pros.
But I can tell you the one thing that a poker pro must have, and you cannot succeed in the world of poker without it. Okay, there are some smart cookies on that list up there, but there are smarter people who play poker (I once actually played poker with a rocket scientist and he stunk!) so it isn't brains alone that will make you a winner. They all have a good memory when it comes to watching the cards and bets and knowing who bet what on which round, but there are a lot of people with great memories who play poker.
Then what is it that makes them the best? Here's the secret. They have what I call,
"Poker Instincts."
Poker Instincts means the ability to look at your opponent and tell whether he or she is bluffing or on a good hand. How many times have you seen them lay down a good hand that you would have stayed in on when the other player had the nuts and how many times have you seen them call a bluff?
It is almost like they can read the other guy's mind!!!
How do they do it? Were they born like that? No. The reason they can do it is because they trust their instincts, their gut feelings and they have learned to tune into their subconsciouos mind where that gut feeling comes from. Everyone has the potential to do that because we all have a subconscious mind. You have a subconscious mind that is one thousand times more powerful than your conscious mind and you remember everything in your subconscious mind. It can store the information of every face you ever looked at and every time someone lied to you with a certain expression or body language it recorded it.
So within your mind, waiting for you to tap into it, is a file of thousands of experiences that can give you all the information you need to look at another person and know what they are thinking. But until you learn to tap into it, until you harness that power, it is doing you no good. The ability to read other poker players like a book is lying there just out of your reach, but there is a way to get to it and use it. You can't do it by thinking hard. Thinking hard just makes your pathetically slow and outgunned conscious mind try harder. What a waste!
I am an expert at awakening the subconscious mind and even having a two way conversation with the parts of the mind and have done it many times. I have developed Parts Consciousness Therapy, I am a trained certified and experienced clinical hynotherapist, and have used bio-feedback and other technology to alter brain waves and help people to realize their full potential. The only thing you have to do is be honest, work hard by listening to the sound files and letting my suggestions enter your subconscious (it happens naturally as you relax and enter the "alpha brainwave state").
And give it time to make your subconscious mind your own super tool.
If you are ready to admit that poker is a battle and that you are tired of losing, then here is the place to start. If not, don't waste your time reading the rest of this page. There is a lot of information and it isn't for the weak or squeemish or fakers.
Winning poker takes mental discipline and more of it than almost any other thing you will do in life. I make acquiring that mental discipline and other skills, like instincts, a lot easier because I am an expert on the mind and the parts of the mind, in fact, I wrote the book on it after years of research as a professional therapist.
Like I said, I am the man who developed The Parts Consciousness Theory and Parts Consciousness Therapy. I know how to help you go into your mind and train the parts, That's right, I said parts because your mind is made of "parts." There are parts of your mind that exist that you haven't even got knowledge of. If that scares you, you don't belong on this site and you aren't ready for this training. If you have the guts to read on, you will learn more about your own mind, for free, than most people ever know, but I am warning you, once you find out about this, you will never look at yourself or other people the same again.
I can teach you how to train your subconcious mind to give you a ton of confidence, skill, memory, and self control. It isn't hard because I spent years learning how to do it and then perfecting the method and helping other people to do it.
I am a clinical hypnotherapist who has worked with the deepest parts of the subconscious mind. I am a master at talking to those parts and getting them to help. Now here is something that may astound you. During clinical hypnosis I have talked to parts of my client's minds that they didn't know existed and that were so powerful, they were controling their lives and they didn't even know it. In fact sometimes the parts were Killing Them! I give actual case examples in my book, but you don't have to read my book, "Your Loved Ones, Your Self" to learn. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
You have probably heard that people only use 10% of their brains and that is true.
Most of the time your conscious mind is what you are using and it is slow and weak. It processes a wimpy 50 bits of information per second while the subconscious is capable of processing 50,000 bits of information,
That's right!! I said 50,000 bits of information per second. But that information is ignored or useless to the slow and weak conscious mind. You have to learn how to use and trust your subconscious.
Using my guided meditation/relaxation files, you can tap into your subconscious and use it like the awesome tool it is to dominate your opponents.
When they show up with just their weak conscious minds.
