There is a lot of money to be made at small-stakes no-limit hold'em because...surprise, surprise...most of the players aren't very good. However, few players understand exactly how to exploit these games. Competent players who generally play larger stakes will, of course, beat them. But they won't beat them for nearly as much as they ought to. Why? Because they don't understand how to adjust correctly.

The key to becoming a great poker player is in knowing what it depends on. At last there's a book that gives you that answer. Poker is a game of so many variables; table position, flop texture, the number of players in a hand, the personalities of your opponents, and so much more.

Secrets of Professional Tournament Poker, Volume 1 dealt with the fundamentals of play. Volume 2 builds on this base and examines the highly complex issue of how to handle the different stages of a tournament. At times the best strategy is to play loose, create problems for your opponent and thus keep accumulating chips. At other times an ultra-tight strategy will be the most profitable. Understanding when to "change gears" is a highly developed skill that requires a great deal of study and experience.

Interesting content; awful delivery
What disappointed you about The Mental Game of Poker?
The sound quality was poor. The style of delivery was generally pretty awful. It sounded like some kind of school project; really disappointing.
What did you like best about this story?
It's not a story, but advice on how to improve one's state of mind, mostly how to avoid getting 'tilted', when playing poker. I'm sure the guy knows what he's talking about! It's interesting stuff, although maybe more relevant to better players than me, who have more of the nuts and bolts of the game sorted.
What didn’t you like about Jared Tendler’s performance?
I don't understand how he can be happy, putting an audiobook out there that sounds like this?
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Mental Game of Poker?
I'm not sure I'd cut any scenes, I'd just get a completely different cast to do the reading!
Any additional comments?
It's a shame that the sound of the book distracts from the interesting content. I don't know if it's possible to re-record it, but if it is, do!

The Ultimate Guide to the Mental Game
Quite simply, Jared Tendler is the best coach for the mental game. He is to poker as Bob Rotella is to golf.
Its probably one of the most important aspects to master in poker, as it will affect your play no matter what your skill level. And having a solid mental game will get you on the right track if you are still learning.

One of the best resources for aspiring poker pros
If you could sum up The Mental Game of Poker in three words, what would they be?
This is an extraordinary book for people who play poker regularly. I will say that this is not the first book you should read about poker if you are just starting out. Jared only covers poker strategy peripherally and there are much better resources for learning the game. That being said, if you are someone who has studied the game a fair amount, someone who wants to play poker seriously and make some money or especially if you are someone who dreams of playing professionally this book is a must have.
Just the sections on learning (concepts like the inchworm and the adult learning model) alone are worth the price of the book, but Jared goes much deeper into how these relate to common poker problems in later chapters. His in depth discussions about tilt, motivation, fear and confidence blew my mind. Instead of generally accepted poker wisdom which deals with treating the symptoms of emotion or striving to avoid emotion while playing (or avoid playing while emotional), Jared delves into finding the root causes of emotions and ultimately teaches players how to master their emotions and use them as a tool to get better at poker.
As someone who has spent a lot of time trying to control my own tilt, and made a lot of progress at reducing it, I was deeply impressed and humbled to realize that a lot of it stems from unrealistic beliefs and expectations about the game of poker and the nature of variance. It is too early to say for sure that my emotions won`t get the better of me at the table again (and, in fact, I`m sure they will), but with the strategies and insights Jared has provided in this book I am confident that I will be able to recognize and better understand my emotional responses in the future.
Ultimately the subject matter of this book extends far beyond poker. A lot of the mental hurdles faced while playing poker are the same ones faced in athletics, business, academics and even romance. Think of pressure to perform or the pain caused by a discordance between expectations and results as a couple of examples. One of my main interests is martial arts and especially the philosophies that guide developing martial artists. Jared never mentions this in his book, but a lot of the mental goals and strategies he describes are very similar to those found in the processes of ego death and transcendence of desire. These are lofty goals, and lifelong struggles, but Jared gives you all the tools needed to work hard at becoming a more zen like poker player and human being.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Mental Game of Poker?
- Dusty Schmidt's analogy about weather and variance.
- The Mental Game Fish and Mental Game Myths sections.
- The ALM and Inchworm learning models
.- The way Jared relates different mental game problems which I previously thought were separate.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jared Tendler?
There are a lot of issues with the recording of this audiobook. Unlike some of the other reviewers I don't mind Jared as a narrator, but I did find his voice/pacing a little monotonous and slow. I actually listened to the majority of this audiobook on 1.5x playback speed and found it easy to follow. The really bad part of the narration for me was the client stories. I liked the stories, but the voice used for them was atrocious. It sounds like Jared used a computer generated voice to read back the stories. It's especially jarring when a female client's words are read in this voice.
Side note, I actually know a few of the featured clients (by reputation, training videos and forum posts), and I think these stories are an essential part of relating the concepts to real life examples. Unlike the reviewer who described them as advertisements, I think they play an important role in the understanding of the material. Not only is it useful to hear the clients relate Jared's somewhat abstract strategies to concrete examples, it is also very useful to hear about people that have succeeded using these tactics. Because a lot of the concepts in this book fly in the face of conventional wisdom, and especially because a lot of the strategies/goals are lofty and will take a lot of consistent work, I think it is essential for players to have real life success examples so they are less likely to give up before achieving meaningful results.
Another issue with the recording is the very nature of the book. It is not the type of material that eloquently transfers to audio. The book features a lot of lists, suggests a lot of cross-referencing and jumping around (much easier to do on paper than in an audiobook setting), and ultimately requires a lot of re-reading to fully digest. I have no regrets about purchasing the audiobook (in fact it's the best poker decision I've made in a long time), but I will be purchasing the actual book in the near future to make sure I get the most from the material.
One last thing, I absolutely loved the brief sections narrated by the British guy. He concisely states a lot of complex ideas, and I might just be partial to accents, but his narration was a breath of fresh air.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. I sat down to listen to the first two chapters but got hooked. I ended up listening to this book all through cooking dinner, cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry. I woke up the next day and my first thought was listening to the rest of the book, although I had to complete some other tasks first. Now that I've finished I will be reviewing the sections one by one and working through some of the suggested assignments. It's definitely not a book that can be absorbed all at once, but I found the subject matter so compelling that I couldn't put it down. Now I'm looking forward to going back and studying certain sections one at a time.
Any additional comments?
I'll be recommending this book to all of my poker playing friends (except maybe the ones I play against regularly).

Surprisingly interesting and informative.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definately recommend to all; even non-poker players. Great science-based insights for everyone who wants to be better at any activity and improve oneself at setting and accomplishing goals.
What other book might you compare The Mental Game of Poker to and why?
Jared's book and methods are to the mental side of poker what Doyle's Super Systew is to the strategy side of poker.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Cadence was well metered but the alternate voice sounded mechanical and contrived. Should have used actual players or someone else's voice.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. Too much info for 1 sitting.

Would you listen to The Mental Game of Poker again? Why?
Yes, it touches on very important aspects of the game that otherwise go ignored by the average player.
What did you like best about this story?
The way Jared teaches you to recognize and correct habits you may have to improve your game.
Have you listened to any of Jared Tendler’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I will be looking for other books after I get done listening to this one and repeat listening it a couple more times.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
not yet.

Psychology of the holes in your game
Would you listen to The Mental Game of Poker again? Why?
Absolutely. It's not necessarily a complex set of instructions but definitely something to review and gauge your progress.
Would you be willing to try another one of Jared Tendler’s performances?
The performance of the book was a little rough. Not the best recording and Jared doesn't seem all that comfortable behind the Mic. That may be beneficial to the reader as it sounds like you're listening to a doctor talk to you.

Don’t Buy Audio Version
References pages of the book that are supposedly important yet there is no accompanying PDF file.

Buy the BOOK not the audio
I'm 5 chapters in and I can't take any more.
The author doesn't speak in monotone, but he may as well.
The content is great for SERIOUS poker players, but only if you can get through the way the author speaks. It's almost one great long run on sentence with chapter breaks.

Content's good, but narration's terrible
Narrator spoke in monotone and very quickly at times, not leaving enough time to digest the concepts he's talking about. Have to repeat over and over

Extremely valuable content
This one of the greatest books I’ve listened too.
The content is very explicit and clear. It has a lot of information about the mental side of poker and a lot of techniques for analyzing, evaluate and improve your game until it reaches an A game level.
I’ve been struggling with the mental part of poker lately, hopefully the content of this book helps me to overcome this bad run.

Unbearable monotone delivery
The flat monotone delivery mix with long lists of dos and don'ts makes this hard to follow and bland as all hell. Useless maybe reading is better but it's still vague and obvious information most of the time.
