For years, poker player Daniel Jones suffered from monstrous monkey-tilt. Embracing a hyper-aggressive style, he furiously tried to outplay opponents and win every pot. It didn’t work.
Jones eventually discovered that his mental game leaks only led to anger, frustration, and poor play. He read books, started a blog, and began meditating. He made continuous mindset adjustments at the tables. Through conscious, dedicated effort, Jones developed a strong mental game.
When we spoke this summer near the end of the World Series of Poker, Jones was thriving during his first year as a full-time poker pro.
