The Mental Game is a crucial piece that is most often overlooked in poker training. Many players refuse to address nagging issues that prevent their growth in the game including fear, anger, and frustration. Building endurance through proper exercise, rest, and nutrition goes a long way to supporting your Mental Game and is key to excelling during a long poker tournament series.

Over the next 2 months Team LearnWPT is hosting Poker Study Sessions for Members to get their game ready to dominate the 2023 WPT® World Championship Festival at Wynn Las Vegas.

For each poker Study Session we'll provide Members with a curated curriculum that focuses on specific concepts and habits essential for tournament success and our 1st Study Session is focused on Mental Game and Endurance!

First, watch the selected Episodes, play the suggested WPT GTO Trainer packs, and write down any questions you have.
Then join Mental Game Coach Jared Tendler LIVE on Tuesday, September 26th at 7PM ET / 4PM PT to discuss the study session topics and to get answers to your questions.

Let's Get Started...


Study Session 1: 🧠Mental Game & Endurance

In this Session we'll kickstart your poker study and give you valuable strategies for managing routines, building confidence, and dealing with adversity.
