The Mental Game of Poker

... but I felt that this book tries to overcomplicate things. If people do have mental game frailties it seemed that the style of the book would go over the heads of the exact people that are targeted by the book. I don"t mean to connect intelligence with mental game frailties (though I think that is what it may sound like). It is just that the sort of person who is a mental game fish is simply not going to bother reading this book. They may recognise a bit of themselves in the book but the cures that are pretty straightforward IMO go into so much detail that you develop more mental game frailties trying to break them down. In short, I felt the book rambled on a bit ( a bit like this post LOL!)

I tend to agree with this - I think you might be over-selling it a bit VBlue from what I"ve read so far
don"t go on tilt
don"t get distracted
set and monitor goals
covers about 90% of the content in

Again, I refer back to other sports Jon. I honestly believe that much of the resistance or negativity comes from a lack of understanding. I don"t believe Jared is hype at all. In fact, he has proven results and some excellent testimonials from some very succesful players who believe his work to be integral to their successes.
Don"t go on tilt. If it was really as easy as just saying that why would anyone ever tilt? Just tell yourself not to and don"t do it - problem solved? I don"t think so.
Jared does not say anywhere that mental game makes up for any deficiencies elsewhere. He treats mental game as a separate area that allows players to create an edge in a game where edges have become very thin.

This thread is just mental. ;D
Have just downloaded a copy onto my generic e-reader device. Off on holiday next week, so should make for a good read, will offer feedback on my return.

LOL, if I did seven days of nothing, it would be more like rehab than a holiday. ;D
