In this Poker With A Purpose vlog, step up to the table against Mariano and go deeper than poker, exploring the mindset battles and emotional intelligence needed to navigate a game where 100K pots are in play and the stakes are more than just monetary. From the thrill of pocket kings to the lessons learned from costly mistakes, this episode breaks down not only the hands but the internal conflicts that shape our decisions at the table. Join me as I share the importance of mindfulness and connection in high-stakes poker while challenging the limiting beliefs that hold us back. We tackle the bigger picture—how avoiding pain and resistance at the tables can reflect in life, and how embracing discomfort can unlock your potential both in poker and beyond. It’s time to play above the rim, trust your intuition, and let go of self-doubt. Watch until the end to see how emotional awareness transforms the game, and reflect on your own mindset and patterns at the table.
