Fear Speeds Things Up; Set The Speed Limit.

Stacking the Odds in Your Favor

Success in poker—and life—comes from mastering psychology. Learn to exploit your own mind the way pros read opponents.

Grey Matters-Your 3 Pound Universe

Your real opponent is your brain. Tilt, fear, and doubt? That's the mammalian brain hijacking logic. Learn how to shut it down.

Triune Brain Breakdown

• Brain Stem: Auto-survival functions.
• Mammalian Brain: Emotions & impulses.
• Neocortex: Logic & calculated plays.

Reticular Activating System (RAS)

Your RAS filters reality. Focus on success, and you'll spot chances. Focus on losses, and you'll spiral into tilt.

Discipline vs Impulse

Discipline is prioritizing your future self. Great poker players delay gratification—and win more over time.

Habit vs. Discipline

Discipline builds routines. Repetition turns them into habits. The best players aren't always disciplined—they're automated.

The F.E.A.R. Formula

• Focus: On key data.
• Emotional Control: No tilt allowed.
• Agitation: Break bad patterns.
• Repetition: Drill good ones in.

Visualization Is Power

Mentally prepare like an elite athlete. Visualize your win, your strategy, and your endgame. Your brain will follow.

Master Your Mind

Top players don't just calculate odds—they dominate their emotions. Master your brain, and the chips will follow.

Spinning FATE: The Model in Motion

Focus

Focus kept our ancestors alive. Amy, distracted in the wild, wouldn't survive unless she rapidly redirected attention to threats or value. Focus is the first step in persuasion.

Authority

Tribal leaders held survival power. Disobeying perceived authority meant exile or death. Today, our brain still obeys authority—even when it's just a lab coat.

Tribe

Humans scan for social cues and align with the group. Like deer reacting to danger, we look to others for how to respond—especially under pressure.

Emotion

Strong emotional experiences were survival markers. Fear, pain, and joy left lasting patterns in the brain, passed down and running silently in us today.

Neurons That Wire Together Fire Together

Use psychology to outplay opponents and yourself. Exploit weaknesses in your own mind just like you'd do to others at the table.

Triune brain theory:

• Brain Stem – Survival instincts.
• Mammalian Brain – Emotion, impulse (source of tilt).
• Neocortex – Logic, odds, smart plays.

RAS filters info based on what you're focused on. Program it to seek success, not tilt or negativity.

Discipline is valuing long-term wins over short-term emotions. It means folding trash hands and sticking to strategy—even when frustrated.

Discipline builds the habit. Then good play becomes automatic. Use the F.E.A.R. system to lock in success routines.

• Focus – Track what matters.
• Emotional Control – Stay cool always.
• Agitation – Break bad patterns.
• Repetition – Practice great habits.

Visualizing success primes your brain to expect it. Mental rehearsal builds focus, clarity, and winning habits.
