Poker On The Mind Podcast

Welcome to Episode 131! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Mindset Coach & Educator Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker strategy & mindset. In this episode, your hosts discussed a hand history sent in by Daniel. There are 15 left and Daniel, who is in the BB, is 12 of 15 with 18bbs and he looks down at JJ. UTG opens for a min-raise and Lojack jams for 20bbs. Daniel is faced with a decision and wants to know if he should call or fold.
Topics covered include:
●How to think about the jammers shoving range in this spot
●Why & how ICM considerations factor into the decision
●Why it’s important not to punt
●How poker skill inflation is a thing and how to respond to it
