25 POKER MINDSET

TIPS EVERY PLAYER

SHOULD KNOW

Every single day is an

opportunity to inspire someone.
Hello! 01

I’m Zoltán, professional

poker player and founder
of @thepokermindset
Instagram page.

Over the past few years I’ve read around 100

psychology, motivational and self development
books and I decided to use my knowledge on the
topic to help poker players reach their full potential.

Why I love Poker? Because it's the perfect

combination of everything that I love: math,
psychology, competition and money.

After being diagnosed and surviving cancer in 2014,

I made the decision that I will only do things that I
truly love all my life.

My motto is: Every single day is an opportunity to

inspire someone.
Thank you! 02

I want to thank you for downloading this free book.

My vision is to help as many poker players as
possible to build a strong mindset, to reach their
goals and to get through hard times. I am dedicated
to fuel your poker journey and to motivate you to
pursue your dreams.

Poker is quite an adventure. While there are great

days, there are also days when you feel like you are
living in your worst nightmare. This book contains
my most successful 25 poker mindset tips since I
started @thepokermindset.

Warning!
This book can and will change your poker life if
you’re willing to put in the work. Make sure you
apply the things you learn and write down/ print out
your favorite quotes, so that whenever you need a
quick mindset boost you can quickly re-read them.

Here are the 30 poker mindset tips every player

should know. Enjoy!
#1: Do what you love 03

Surviving cancer thaught me an important lesson:

Life is short and unpredictable; It’s  such a gift to be
alive and it would be a mistake to waste it. I’m grateful
for being able to make a living doing what I love.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone

else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma—which is living
with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let
the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner
voice. And most important, have the courage to follow
your heart and intuition.” (Steve Jobs)
#2: Mindset 04

To become a great poker player you need a good

strategy, that’s pretty obvious. What’s not-so-
obvious is that you also need a good poker mindset.
If your mind isn't right you cannot play poker
effectively.

The edges in poker are getting smaller and smaller,

but there’s still a big advantage for those players
who know how to consistently reach their mental
peak. By all means, work on your mindset, it will pay
off in the end.
#3: Take responsibility 05

The freedom poker

grants you comes
with a price:
huge responsibility.

Nobody else is going to set your goals, manage your

time, and hold you accountable. Being self-
disciplined is one of the most important traits of a
great poker player. Understand that not putting in
the work will make you fall behind!

Work as hard as you can to become a great poker

player; accept the lessons in whatever form they
come and complain as little as possible. Take
responsibility for yourself and understand that
nothing is owed to you and nothing will be handed
to you.
#4: Short Guide for 06

New Players
Becoming a winning poker player is like learning a
new skill. Here are 6 tips for players who are at the
beginning of their poker journey:

1. Learn, learn, learn: take as much time as possible

to learn about the game and the strategies. You can
do this by watching poker training videos or live
streams, reading strategy articles, reading poker
books or learn from people who are already good.

2. Bankroll Management: Good bankroll

management is crucial for poker players. It is one of
the most important parts of your overall strategy
and is something you have control over. The
number one reason a player goes broke is due to
poor bankroll management.

3. Focus on one poker variant: Decide which game

type you want to play: cash games, Sit and Go’s or
tournaments. All three formats require different skill
sets and different strategies.
#4: Short Guide for 07

New Players

4. Start small: As a beginner, play on the lowest limit

possible. Your goal is to learn to play well and your
decision making process should not depend on how
much money you will win or lose.

5. Patience: This is probably the most important

advice. Always remember that becoming a great
player takes time. Poker is a marathon, not a sprint.

6. You have to want it: Put in the hard work! Poker is

that awesome and rewarding precisely because it’s
so difficult to master. Learn to appreciate this!

“For me, the most important thing that helped to

become a winning player was to study. I have read
basically every poker book, watched numerous
videos, and spent countless hours posting on poker
forums online trying to figure out the optimal play in
every situation. If you study long and hard, it is
tough to fail at poker.” -Jonathan Little
#5: False expectations 08

The greatest players dedicate their life and put in the hard
work to master poker. Mediocre ones are always looking
for a quick and easy way, which doesn’t exist, so they
waste their time searching with false expectations. When
you start googling information on “how to level up your
poker mindset” instead of “5 minute easy hand chart to
win at poker” I can guarantee you are on the right road to
becoming a better poker player. Let go of the get-rich-
quick mentality. Be patient, put in the work, and see what
happens...

The hard, cold reality of poker is that every hand has an

uncertain outcome. Unless you learn to completely
accept the possibility of an uncertain outcome, you will
try either consciously or unconsciously to avoid any
possibility you define as painful. In the process, you will
subject yourself to any number of self-generated, costly
errors. Get comfortable with the idea of embracing risk,
variance and uncertainty.
#6: Bankroll management 09

The number one reason a player goes broke is due to

poor bankroll management. Set yourself strict bankroll
management rules and do not deviate from them no
matter what! After losing a big pot, most players' first
instinct is to get back the lost money at all cost, which
often makes things worse. Accept that it’s not possible
to win every hand and focus on playing well.

Keep in mind that no matter how soft a higher stake

game is or how big a higher buy-in tournament is, if
your bankroll doesn’t allow it be smart and don’t play
there.
#7: Learn to lose 10

Poker is a very
competitive game and
you have to be able to
handle getting your
butt kicked.

Once you understand that losing is a natural and

inevitable part of being a poker player, tremendous
growth can take place.

There’s no escaping from losing. But people are very

bad at taking losses. They take it as a blow to their
ego when, in fact, they should view it as a learning
experience. Do not allow yourself to become
resentful! Genuine acceptance that there will be
losses and downswings on your way to poker
success, will greatly decrease the pain when they
eventually come.
#7: Learn to lose 11

Understand, that poker is not about those big fat

winning sessions. It’s about the hundreds and
thousands of inevitable losing ones that you have
to deal with, at the same time keeping faith and
confidence in your strategy.

“I deeply believe this one thing that players should

work on more: Losing. You have to understand
that this is natural part of poker. Learning how to
lose is not easy, but one has to do it, to be
successful. Proper mindset is fundamental. When
I lose I have my routine - I apply logic and keep
playing.” (Fedor Holz)

Next time when you lose a big pot remember, that

it is human nature to want to make it all back as
fast as possible. Slow down, stay focused, and
stick to your strategy. This is how you win in the
long run.
#8: Mistakes 12

“There are tons of mistakes every session, even for

me. What separates me from a lot of the other players
is that I recognize the mistakes when I make them…
I just practice, I think about the game all the time and
I am continually trying to get better.” (Phil Ivey)

You made a big mistake... What do you tell yourself?

Do you say "You f*cking idiot! Why did you do that?
Don't you want to be a winning poker player??"
Mistakes in poker cannot be avoided. Every player
makes them, even the best in the world. Accept that
they are part of the game, instead of getting angry and
feeling bad. Abuse and negativity never yields
great results over the long term!
#8: Mistakes 13

The difference between being a successful poker player

and a failure is that successful players know how to
deal with losses. They don’t get too emotional and think
the world is coming to an end. They don’t freak out and
start chasing losses. They accept that every now and
then everyone makes mistakes and they are determined
to learn from their mistakes, because these players
understand that failures and losses make them wiser
and better.

Failures are part of the process of becoming a great

poker player. If you don’t fail, you’ll never learn; if you
don't learn, you’ll never earn.

Humans are fallible. We all make mistakes and we all

screw up hands and sessions from time to time. Anyone
who has been playing poker for a while and says that
they don’t make mistakes anymore is lying to
themselves. But here’s the important thing: When I do
screw up I make sure to acknowledge my faults and this
puts me in the best place to learn. Take responsibility
for your actions!

Mistakes are going to happen. The bigger mistake is

letting one mistake turn into more.
#9: Injustice tilt 14

Quick Exercise: Write

down/ print out these five
sentences, keep them on
your desk and re-read them
whenever you need them.

These statements will help you out with your mental

game problems in the short run:

1. Learn to handle disappointment. You can't be a poker

player if you don't.

2. Probabilities tell you what’s likely to happen, not

what’s guaranteed to happen. Remember this next time
you get a bad beat.

3. Poker is a very competitive game and you have to be

able to handle getting your butt kicked.

4. Poker doesn’t care what you think is fair.

5. There’s nothing that’s deserved in poker. Cards don’t

care about your feelings.
#10: Complaining 15

Complaining is addictive and every time you do it

you reinforce the behaviour even more. We are
trained to complain. It happens because it’s what
we see in the world and because our own
limitations. And also because we misunderstand
poker’s real objective …which is no other than
making the best decisions you can consistently.
#11: Control 16

Your goal should be to play every hand the best

way you can. Decide to take control of what you
do have power over instead of craving control
over what you don’t. Great players cultivate peace
by being indifferent and not worrying about the
things outside of their control.

No matter what happens a calm and rational

mindset is absolutely key!
#12: Anger 17

Mentally tough poker players are in control of

their emotions. Poor emotional control leads to
poor decisions. You will not be punished for your
anger, you will be punished by your anger. Getting
emotionally invested is one of the worst attitudes
you can bring into poker.
#12: Anger 18

After a series of losing poker sessions beating

yourself up will likely lead to even more negative
behaviour and continued poor results. It’s crucial
to keep your thoughts and self-talk positive and
remind yourself what works. The things you say
to yourself while playing poker matter
enormously. Negative self-talk limits you,
increases stress, and hurts your confidence.
Nurture a kind and positive inner voice.

“When the emotional system becomes overactive,

it shuts down higher brain functions. Translation:
If your emotions are too high, you make poor
poker decisions because the brain prevents you
from being able to think straight.” (Jared Tendler)

If you want to become a successful poker player

stop taking losses so personally.
#13: Anger 19

If you think that consistent profitability in poker

equals an absence of losses and downswings, then
there is something fundamental about this game
that you didn’t understand yet. No matter how bad
and painful it may look and feel, it is very important
to remind yourself that this is part of variance and
the numbers will eventually work themselves out.

No storm lasts forever!

#13: Anger 20

If you feel overwhelmed by a series of losing

sessions, consider taking a few days off, gather
perspective and come back later, refreshed and
determined. Remember, a downswing does not
erase the successes you've had and all the progress
you've made and continue to make. Keep moving!

If you are in a huge downswing and have a very

negative mindset, try to look at some of the things
that are positive for you. What are your strengths?
Your positives? What are the things you can control?

Remember:
#14: Enjoy the process 21

“One of the biggest lessons

poker has taught me is to not
be too focused on results, but
focus on process and making
good decisions.” (Fedor Holz)

If you look at poker success as a never-ending path of

learning instead of a destination with a deadline, you will
embrace the process and then the setbacks and
downswings will become less scary and risky, because
they are all just part of the journey.

Develop the joy of knowing that you followed your plan,

no matter what the short term results looks like. Know
that it takes time to become a successful poker player.
Just be committed to doing your best every day. Focus on
making the best plays. Focus on bankroll management.
Focus on mindset work. Focus on the best execution of
your process. This will help you to become a great poker
player. Be process-driven, not money-driven! Money is
only an outcome.

Never let a winning poker session get to your head, and

never let a losing one get to your heart!
#15: Discipline 22

It is important to consider poker as a performance

activity that requires the same level of discipline and
commitment as chess, professional sport or military
training. Understanding that poker is a performance
activity helps suppress warped expectations. A poker
player must appreciate the need for preparation and
discipline.

The poker players who make money consistently on a

monthly and yearly basis approach poker from the
perspective of a mental discipline.

Poker is a rough game and there is little room for the

undisciplined!
#16: Warm-up 23

What is the Zone? The zone is a state of heightened

mental functioning, endless energy, clarity,
awareness and concentration that allows poker
players achieve exceptional levels of performance.

A good warm up routine helps you approach your

poker session with calm, confidence and
awareness. If you’re playing unprepared, you are
preparing to fail.
#16: Warm-up 24

Warm Up Routine Examples/ Ideas

Eliminate all distractions.
Review some hands.
Revise your notes of a recent study session: write down on a
piece of paper the subject you focus on and keep that in
front of you. Also, use this to mark relevant hands to review
later.
Watch a poker training video.
Review long-term goals and set short-term goals for your day
or poker session. These goals can be tactical, mental or
other poker-related goals. I write down a “TO-BE” list to, in
which I note things like: confident, motivated, focused,
disciplined, etc.
Play some quick brain games. / Play chess with a friend
Make sure you had enough sleep: Being well rested and
nourished may be more important to your poker
performance than you think.
Take a walk or exercise: it reduces stress, boosts your brain
power, balances your mood and reduces fatigue.
Cold showers.
Read a book or an article.
Listen to some good music.
Mindfulness meditation, deep breathing or visualization: “I’ve
been consistently meditating for about two years. There are
a lot of studies that show it has positive effects, and
physically changes the structure of the brain.” (Stephen
Chidwick)
Read ThePokerMindset posts. 😊
#17: Distractions 25

One of the biggest

obstacle to poker
success is lack of
sustained focus. Avoid
playing distracted at all
costs. Remove any
tempting distractions.

Did you know? Studies show that having your

smartphone within sight, even if it’s switched off,
has a negative effect on your focus, because part of
your brain is working to not pick up or check the
phone. It’s even worse, if you get a notification or a
message. It can throw you off your A-game!

Network tools(internet, social media, tv) are

constantly bombarding us with scary news.
Distractions destroy momentum and focus. They
seek to dominate you, much like the addiction seeks
to dominate the addict. They will if you let them.
Now it’s more important than ever to eliminate
distractions if you want to play your A-game.
#18: Mindfulness 26

“I try to meditate in
the morning and
go to the gym
before the
tournament.” (Elky)

Many of the greatest poker players incorporate breath

work, mindfulness and exercise in their daily routines.
Playing well requires awareness, focus and
detachment from outcomes.

When you focus on your breath during mindfulness

meditation, you are training your mind to be aware,
steady and consistent, so that you can begin to display
this qualities when facing tough poker decisions.

To become a great poker player you must learn to be

an objective observer of your thoughts and emotions,
instead of getting lost in them by default. This way,
you can begin to see things with more clarity.
#19: Self-awareness 27

Work on self-awareness. If
you remain unaware of the
mental habits that are
causing you to play poker
poorly or to tilt, you're
unlikely to change. Be wise
enough to acknowledge
when your mindset is
compromised. Don’t be too
proud to take some time off
and reassess things.

Great poker players prioritize their mood. This is the

difference between your success and failure at the
tables. How often do you make good decisions when
you’re fearful? When you’ve lost and want to get even?
Be aware of your mood and understand that you
perform your best when you feel at your peak(Calm,
relaxed and happy). If you’re not feeling this way, then
getting there is the priority, not playing poker.

If you’re not in the right mood, stay away from the

poker tables. This isn’t the state of mind you want to
be in when making big decisions and facing tough
opponents. Take the day off. playing with a
compromised mindset can deplete your bankroll.
#20: Balance 28

Failure to maintain a work-life balance while playing poker

will not only be harmful to other areas of your life, but will
have a detrimental impact on your concentration and
productivity levels during poker sessions. Make sure you
spend enough time with friends and family or to do
something for yourself!

When you're done for the day, take your mind off of poker.
Create harmony between work and personal life. Don't be
too obsessed. If you can cultivate balance in your life,
you'll automatically pour that balance into poker.

“Being mentally balanced and having non-poker inputs

around you is so important.” (Fedor Holz)
#21: Burnout 29

“You don’t have to grind if your body, heart, and

mind aren’t feeling it.” (Jason Koon)

If you are constantly feeling demotivated,

exhausted, angry and in a negative emotional
state you may be on the road to burnout.
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and
mental exhaustion caused by excessive and
prolonged stress.
#21: Burnout 30

1. The most important sign of burnout for poker

players is the trouble of getting and staying in the
zone. You may find that you get distracted much
easier or you get bored much faster and can’t wait
to end the session.

2. When you don’t feel so enthusiastic about poker

anymore or you no longer have that internal
motivation to play and to improve your game,
there’s a good chance you’re experiencing burnout.
Even if you absolutely love poker it can happen from
time to time. Try finding out what’s causing it,
maybe your personal life is taking up more energy,
than usual or maybe you are just bored. Things you
can do to stay motivated are: take regular breaks, do
something interesting, limit your use of digital
devices during off-hours or reflecting on your WHY.

To overcome a burnout remember WHY you play

poker. You are most motivated by knowing WHY you
do things. Having a strong WHY is what gets you
through the hard times. Clearly defining and
identifying this WHY is crucial for long-term poker
success.
#21: Burnout 31

3. A clear sign of burnout is feeling tired all the

time. If getting out of bed in the morning or
starting playing or studying poker is more
demanding than normal, you could be tiptoeing
into burnout territory. Keep in mind that you’ll not
only deal with a lack of energy physically, but you
can also feel emotionally drained.

4. Another sign of burnout is when you start tilting

much easier or faster than usual. Sometimes
during a burnout even one lost pot is enough to
bring out a lot of negative emotions and throw
you off from your A-Game.

During burnout you might have more

interpersonal problems, such as getting into more
conflicts with others or avoiding and talking less
to family members and friends. Sometimes even
when you’re physically with them, you might be
tuned out.
#21: Burnout 32

5. Burnout has a negative effect on your ability to

pay attention or concentrate. Other times poker
used to bring you joy, you couldn’t wait to start a
session and play, now you find yourself looking at
your clock or phone, changing the playlist and being
on auto-pilot, completely out of the zone.

6. Negativity is another one of the dimensions that

characterize burnout. You start your sessions with a
pessimistic attitude, you feel that you are always
getting sucked out, never hitting anything good, and
when you do everybody folds. Another sign of
cynicism is when there seems to be no point to
anything, no sense of accomplishment anymore.
What used to fuel you—winning, ambition, challenge,
even money—seems meaningless.

7. During burnouts some people engage in

unhealthy coping strategies like drinking too much
coffee or alcohol, smoking, being too sedentary,
skipping workouts, eating too much junk food, not
eating enough or not getting enough sleep.
#22: Journaling 33

One of the best ways to

improve your poker
mindset is to monitor,
observe, and document
your progress over time.
An effective way to do
this is to record your
thoughts and feelings in
your poker journal at the
end of each day.

What are you thinking and how you are feeling? Perhaps
you had a heavy losing or winning session? Write down
how you are feeling. This action itself is a helpful mental
exercise to help deal with some of these emotions. Over
time, this journal will act as an invaluable resource to
improve your game and to make your mental clarity
stronger in each session.

When you screw up, instead of blaming yourself for hours,

it is much smarter and productive to write about what
happened in your poker journal, the lessons you’ve
learned and how to prevent it from happening again in the
future. If you do not reflect on your mistakes by writing
them down in your poker journal, the process of learning
will be much harder and slower. Writing forces your mind
to connect the dots.
#23: Fear 34

Most of the poker players define tilt as being caused only

by anger and fail to notice that fear and anxiety could be
the main contributors to their mindset problems. You may
not realize that fear can be the cause of not playing your
A-Game, not making rational, good decisions or lacking
energy to play.
First of all let’s see where can fear show up in your game:
Have you noticed that you constantly avoid high-variance
plays, even if you know that it’s the right decision? Do you
usually delay moving up in stakes? Are you constantly
second guessing your decisions? Does your mind go
blank in huge pots and do you feel rushed? Are you
looking to much at the results or at your stack size?
#23: Fear 35

1. Figure out where fear comes from 

Ask yourself what are the root causes of your

negative beliefs? Write down in your poker journal
where you think that fear comes from and try to
logically understand it as an outsider. Sometimes
just stating what your fears are gives you more
strength to deal with them. Say your fears out
loud, write them down, or focus your mind on
them. To identify what your fears are here are
some questions that might help you:

1. What am I actually afraid of?

2. What are the spots or situation that typically
cause me to be anxious or fearful?
3. What are the first signs of fear and anxiety?
4. Am I scared that I might make a mistake or be
wrong?
5. Do I feel confident in my abilities to perform?
#23: Fear 36

2. Look at the worst-case scenario

Visualize and write down the absolute worst outcome.
How bad is this scenario in the grand scheme of life?
Most of the time we give situations far more power than
they deserve, recognizing this can be very helpful. I
challenge you to dig into your fears, and you’ll often find
that the mental monsters are harmless scarecrows.
Sometimes, it just takes a piece of paper and a few
questions to create a breakthrough.

3. Visualize success
After you wrote down and visualized the worst-case
scenario, go ahead and visualize how would it make you
feel if you succeed? Write down what are the benefits of
overcoming your fears. Ask yourself the question, is it
worth facing your fears? Remember: “Everything you’ve
ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” (Jim Rohn)
Olympic athletes visualize themselves winning a race or a
game. It might not actually get them to win the gold, but it
certainly helps their performance. Why not do the same
with poker? Visualizing how it might feel to win a
tournament or to become a winner in a higher stake cash
game can be very motivating, and it can help you play
better and make your dream a reality.
#23: Fear 37

4. Focus on learning

Things may not go the way you planned or the way you
want them to go, but that doesn’t automatically mean
you’ve failed. Sometimes a less than ideal situation is
the best opportunity to make changes and grow.
Instead of dwelling on your mistakes and losses, ask
yourself some questions:

1. What can I learn?

2. How can I learn from this experience?
3. What can I do better next time?
4. What is the positive side of the situation?

Remember: “Sometimes you win, sometimes you

learn.” (John Maxwell)

5. Learn to think more positively

The things you say to yourself matter enormously, you

believe what you tell yourself. Negative self-talk and
thinking limits you, increases stress, and hurts your
confidence. Nurture a kind and positive inner voice.
#23: Fear 38

We are obsessed with success, but it’s important to

understand that successful people are not those
who do not fail, they are those who fail more, accept
failure, learn from it, recover and than try again,
never giving up.
 
“If you are afraid to lose your money, you can’t play
to win.” (Johnny Moss)

“Simply put, the number one mistake poker players

make is being afraid.” (Doug Polk)

You will not be able to execute your winning poker

strategy properly if the fear of loss is clouding your
thinking. You must allow yourself to play and make
decisions with confidence and acceptance. Even if
you have to fake it at first.

Scared money doesn’t

make money!
#24: Patience 39

“The key to playing on the highest level is to stay

patient” (Fedor Holz)

Consistent actions towards your poker goals

compound over time and lead to huge payoff.
Just be patient and continue in the right direction.
#25: Hard Work 40

Becoming a winning poker player requires a

tremendous amount of learning and practicing.
Throw in the psychological aspects and you’ll see
why most people don’t make it in this field.
However, the good news is that if you have the
perseverance, playing poker for a living is a reality
for you.
Quotes about passion 41

Poker can be so difficult that it’s easy to lose your

enthusiasm. However, if you really love the game
you will go the extra mile to study and to improve
yourself. True passion is a solid foundation for your
poker career.

“I love poker. I will always have a drive and passion for

poker that far surpasses any feeling or emotion I’ve
ever felt. I will get better. I will be the best.” (Linus
“LLinusLove” Loeliger)

“I am one of the lucky people who has been able to

make a living playing a game which was always my
passion.” (Phil Ivey)
Quotes about passion 42

“Looking back at poker, a big reason for my success

was the passion that made me invest every free
minute I had into trying to become a better player.”
(Fedor Holz)

“I think it’s really important to listen to yourself. If you

have true motivation and you’re playing the game
for the right reasons - because you love it - you’ll
naturally be motivated to play and naturally be
motivated to work on your game.” (Jason Koon)

“I believe it is the most important thing in life to do

what you love and for me, I love poker.” (Jeff Gross)

“After I had the cancer operation where I wasn’t

expected to live. When I came out of the hospital, I
decided I was going to play poker, do what I wanted to
do the rest of my life. That’s when I made the turning
point to be a professional player. I was 28. I had just
got married. I was considering going back into “the
real world” and getting “the real job.” After that
(surviving cancer) happened, I just decided that life’s
too short. I was going to do what I wanted to do.”
(Doyle Brunson)
Bonus #1 43

I strongly believe that self development,

psychology, motivational and success
biography books have a positive impact on your
poker mindset. The amazing thing is, that for
less than the price of a dinner at a restaurant,
you can buy yourself a book and get the best
information and insights from some of the
greatest minds of the world.
