To reach your highest levels of performance, you need to understand that certain situations require you to stop thinking, and start feeling.

Andrew Lichtenberger joins the show to talk all things presence, such as: what it's like to be perceived by others the way he is, how he's able to blend technical mastery with intuition, and what he meant when he tweeted that luck might be just "another form of skill."

When you play from a place of presence, you're able to tie all the pieces of the story together and substantially increase your ability to get the outcomes you desire.

Momentum isn't real in the sense that the cards are ever due to change, but it's very much real in the sense that the way things are going impacts the way we feel, which impacts our ability to perform moving forward.

Making sure you're always in a good place when you play is a two step process: know what you need in order to recharge your batteries, and create a system that alerts your conscious mind the moment that your system says it needs to recharge.

When you start to think that you need to "go above" what you currently are anytime a great player shows up, you end up trying to navigate territory you haven't studied and can't play the game on your own terms.

When it comes to meditation, the only thing that matters is for you to find something that reliably creates a calm and focused state inside you.

When you understand that every emotion is available to be felt at any time, you become able to flow with what's happening without resistance—a great skill in both poker and life.

If you want to get into someone else's head, first you've got to get out of your own. Do this successfully, and you'll gain a huge performance edge.

Humans are by nature terrible at predicting what will make us happy in the future—the best we can do is to get present to what makes us happy now, figure out how to squeeze as much as possible out of it, then see where it goes.
