For Tricia Cardner
Do you believe that the power of the human mind can affect the reality that we live in?
example.. believing you are going to win,
can change the actual outcome of cards dealt online or in real?
not just decision making from being positive

These are not respectful or appropriate questions so passing on them.

For Gershon.

Firstly - thank you for giving up your time to answer member questions.

My question relates directly to your WSOP bracelet win and your eventual heads up with Johan Schumacher.
Can you recall any specific seminal moments with particular hands that you felt you had control, i am aware it was a real seesaw battle but i often can recall hands where i felt i had made an inroad into my opponent - was there one or more hands for you specifically?

I wish you every continued success with your career.

AR AR AR AR

My question for the podcast...
I've been considering moving from tourney poker to cash games.
I've been studying tourney poker for the past year or so.
I was considering moving into cash games. What considerations should the tourney player consider when moving from tournament play to cash tables (micros)?
How do those considerations change if instead of micros, I was playing small to medium stakes?
Thanks!
Cheers,
JT

For Darren:
Q: You recently tweeted this: " A big part of what makes pros successful over the longterm is our ability to distance ourselves from the monetary and emotional swings of the game. But it can leave us jaded, great to see the other side.". How do you think pros can re-discover the passion in poker that you see in amaeturs?
Q: Given your overall success 2021 you have only 1 recorded title to your name (on Hendon Mob). How would you describe your 2021 poker season so far?
Q: You recently became a brand ambassador for partypoker US - what was the driving force behind you joining that team?
Q: You commented recently that it doesn't matter how much you study that makes you a good poker player - you have to go and execute. If you were to give advice to recreational players, what training material should they look for and how much should one study?
