Episode 25 - Dealing With Depression and Understanding The Push Fold Numbers


Listen Later

MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Consultant Dr. Tricia Cardner kicked off Episode 25 by discussing the latest on the UK live MTT poker scene, and Gareth revealed that a vlog of his recent poker trip is on the horizon! Please stay tuned for that.

We then launched into the show with Tricia addressing a question about depression. Specifically, a listener asked about how to know if one has a diagnosable depression and what to do about it. Tricia broke down the 9 key diagnostic criteria to determine if one needs to see a qualified professional for treatment.

We then discussed a variety of potential behavioral and cognitive strategies that can be used to reduce depressive symptoms. Depression is called the common cold of psychology, as it is extremely widespread but luckily, there are many effective forms of treatment.

Gareth then answered a question sent in by Dennis who wanted to know how to apply the information he gets when he runs Holdem Resources Calculator. Gareth pointed out that getting an answer is one thing, but knowing what to do with that information is another thing entirely. You have to be aware of the adjustments that you need to take with the information you have. Just because a hand is a theoretically correct shove doesn’t always mean it’s a shove given the particulars of the situation. Stack sizes and opponents are critical when it comes to determining if you should take marginal spots.
