Use This Framework to Make Better Decisions in Poker I just wrapped up with a client and noticed he was struggling with how to think through his decisions. His mind went blank. It was information overwhelm. Analysis paralysis. Sound familiar? Here’s how we fixed it. I’m big on frameworks. If you have a checklist of what to do before you act, it’s a lot easier to get it right. This simple 2 step strategy helped him win a few grand during his next session by fixing this problem. 1. Identify what category your hand is. To simplify, you only bet for two reasons: bluffs or value. Before you bet, ask yourself, which one is it? 2. Which hands are you targeting? When bluffing, make sure a lot of better hands will fold. When betting for value, make sure worse hands will call. For example, if are debating whether to bluff the river on a KT852 board, start by ranging your opponent. What do you put him on? Second, will that fold? If you bet this river, you should do so under the assumption that they will fold a ten, but probably call with a king. If you don’t believe your opponent will fold a ten, or he doesn’t have one given the action, you should simply check. I hope this helped.

The greatest pull-out game to ever exist is right here in this post: You’ve heard the famous King Arthur story, right? He was taken away from his kingdom at birth and didn’t know about his royal bloodline. And since he was the only heir… When his biological father, King Uther Pendragon died, the throne remained empty... To settle the case of who would be King, Merlin (a legendary wizard) created a test. He embedded the king’s sword into a huge stone and the premise was simple: Whoever managed to pull the sword out would become the new king. A lot of folks tried… Knights, dukes, barons, earls… The story even mentions a huge muscled guy giving it his best. So when this young skinny boy named Arthur decided to give it a try, people burst out laughing... “Don’t embarrass yourself, Arthur!” “Men much stronger than you haven’t even been able to move it an inch!” He walked up to the sword, grabbed it with one hand, and pulled it out without a single sign of struggle. The thing is, the test was never about the muscles, the age, or the experience… It was about discovering a true inheritor of the throne. And this is a classic example of how a lot of people focus on the wrong metrics to get better results. It’s not about how many cold emails or cold calls you can cram into a single day… The true measure of success is how unique and impactful you can feel to the prospects you’re reaching out to. What can you do to stand out from the 99 other salespeople showing up in their inbox or on their phone every single day? Here’s an idea… Send a Crumpled Letter. Or if you’re feeling extra Rebellious… Sign up for the first ever Crumpled Letter game and send a whole bunch of them. You’ll be able to compete with other Rebels and have a chance to win free coaching, swag, and loads of other goodies. The best part is, you’ll land yourself some meetings along the way. Oh, and did I mention that it’s free? Well, it is. All you’ve got to do is participate. Hope to see you there, Rebel!

We’ve all heard the quote “Failure is not an option.” But what if it was? Too often, fear gets in the way of innovation. Our Training Design Lead, Mary, recently signed up for an 8-week improv class and saw firsthand the effects of rewarding “failure”. On night one, a group of 14 strangers and 1 improv professional stood around in a circle, playing a game called “Zip Zap Zop”. ⚡ The game’s a simple, yet challenging one. Whoever starts, says “zip” while pointing at someone else in the circle. The person who was pointed at then (quickly) says “zap” while pointing at someone else, the next person does the same thing while saying “zop”. The pattern repeats, starting back at “zip”. The game continues until someone messes up. This is where things get interesting. When someone messed up, the whole class was instructed to cheer and clap. 👏 The game was played over and over again, and inevitably someone always messed up. As they continued to play the game, the celebration intensified with each mistake as people became comfortable with this new norm of cheering on failure. But something else happened here as well - each time they tried again, they got better at the game and the round went longer. Not only that, but you could physically see each individual’s confidence increase because they started to absorb the fact that if they happened to mess up, they wouldn’t feel the whole weight of that loss on their shoulders. They were all in it together, win or lose - making it so much more compelling to get up and try again. Failure is inevitable. Why not try giving it an enthusiastic clap? Your team and solutions will be stronger for it. #innovation #improv #failure #failforward #zipzapzop

A formula for going broke: 1. Buy when the market is up (comforting) 2. Sell when the market is down (scary) 3. Repeat

Take a chance Today, I want to share a video that has had a profound impact on me. Veritasium is one of the OG good channels of YouTube. If you like smart content you should definitely check it out. In this video Derek goes on the streets and asks people to take a chance - to flip a coin a place a bet. If they win they get $10 but if they lose they have to GIVE $10 Nobody agrees to risk losing $10 so he goes on to sweeten the deal by making it $12 per win vs $10 per loss At first glace the video looks like it’s just another street interaction video. Probably a prank to the suspicious mind. But soon we realise it is more about RISK. Loss aversion is making us risk averse. We learn probability in school but never use it in real life. Our decisions are driven by emotions rather than calculations. Most of us cannot look at life even though the odds are stacked on our side to make sure we win. Towards the end of the video - it feels genuinely stupid not to take the risk. today I don't want to encourage you to bet in life but to bet ON life. Take a chance on yourself and take it again and again. Even if you lose in a few instances, you will win in aggregate. The odds are not stacked against you. The odds are with you. https://lnkd.in/e7wHKK-9
