Ready for your championship run? LearnWPT is here to help with a six-part tournament preparation series designed to sharpen your skills and boost your confidence before the cards are in the air.

Today’s warm-up session focuses on one of the most overlooked, but most important elements of poker success: Your Mental Game.

Even the most technically skilled players struggle with fear, frustration, momentum swings, and the pressure of multi-day tournaments. How you respond to those challenges has a massive impact on your decision-making and long-term performance.

Let’s get you mentally ready to win...

Mental Game & Endurance Warm-Up Session

Winning a multi-day poker tournament is about far more than knowing the right strategy. You’ll face tough opponents, stressful decisions, long hours, and unpredictable outcomes and if you’re not mentally prepared, even small setbacks can derail your entire run.

In this session from our tournament warm-up series, LearnWPT Coaches Jared Tendler and Adrian Naggy give you valuable strategies for managing routines, building confidence, and dealing with adversity. We’ll also talk about preparing for long tournament days and using physical fitness, rest, and proper nutrition to build endurance and optimize your play.
