The Mental Game of Poker - A Workbook Approach

[VBlue]

I am going to be working on getting through The Mental Game of Poker by the end of June 2013.  There is just so much interesting stuff to discuss and there have been some great contributions on this forum so far.

I plan to put in some time every fortnight and work my way through the eight chapters.  It is not necessary to read the book chronologically, so I will focus on my own immediate issues. 

I may branch of into seperate threads if I feel a particular subject calls for it and use this one to hold the flow together.  Depends if people thinks that makes sense or whether I should keep everything here.

I have a blog to finish, called 'I Wish' by the end of this week and another coaching session to catch up on.  I should be ready to sit down for a couple of hours with TMGOP book again next week.

GL in 2013 all.

I hope this thread can gain some legs.

Good luck with this Mr Blue.

You may have struck gold, as one of the co-authors of the book is a regular - nay, esteemed - Member & Poster here, most especially when sober.

Yes - I have had some help from Barry last year with blogging and ocassionally talk on Twitter/FB.  Thanks for the encouragement Tikay.

Oh - and Mark is fine.

Thanks for starting the thread Mark, although I'm a shameless spammer on the social interweb I tend to avoid doing it on Blonde, just because its my fave forum. However since you started the thread I guess it would be rude not to post 

Jared and I are currently working on book number 2, its all different material, but his overall body of work is currently very fresh in my mind as a result. So any questions post away.

The manner in which you are approaching it, ie. over six months, I think is a fantastic way to do it. Jared's material is not the sort of stuff you can digest in one read, so I think you've nailed that aspect.

Jared's even more busy than I am with the book, especially as he has started doing a podcast, but he does come onto Blonde now and then so I'll get him to say hi at some point.

Chance for a bit more spam- is there a version i can download for my Iphone. I often get time at work where I could read and carrying a book itsn't compatible in an engineering environment. All that nasty grease and dirt stuff you know.  Will be following this thread with interest as this is deffo one of the books i need to read.

Mods - if at any point I cross the spam line, just delete the post and tell me off, I apologize in advance.

Yes, it is available on every single ebook format that I can think of - kindle, nook, itunes, epub. All of which you can get on your phone. Kindle is most popular, just do a search on Amazon.

It is also available on audiobook, and if you are new to Audible (Amazons audiobook site) you can actually get it for free, details here .

Thanks Mr Shoelace.
 Looking forward to the first post on the book by Mr Vblue. Should make for a very interesting thread.

Don't be daft Barry, carry on as much as you like. You are a solid-gold Member, you don't ever cause the Mods a moments trouble, & you don't come here solely for the purposes of spamming as so many do, you contribute a balanced range right across all the Boards. We are proud to have a book author amongst us, even if he does hail from Yorkshire.

Spamming a book you co-penned causes no conflict of interest whatsoever.

The only spamming issues we have are with those who, for example, come here solely to promote Live Venues & Fessies not associated with our Sponsor, DTD.  Plus, of course, folks who post "what is the best rakeback deal I can get on PKR?" or somesuch. That is not intentional spamming, but just arises from lack of thought by the Poster.
