Good For People Who Haven't Played Much Poker

It's a very simple analysis of poker intended for people without much playing experience. It uses more complex terms, that new poker players might not be familiar with, while reaffirming the same points every chapter.

Intended for beginning poker players looking to learn the vocabulary, as well as those looking to organize their poker notes more efficiently.

Life lessons. Worth it.

I would recommend you get this book. But, I don't want you to play on a table next to me. lol. I believe this book should be used once a month until it becomes unconscious. You can also apply this to daily life lessons.

Good book, but need update on sound quality

Good book, but need update on sound quality. I got used to it but I think it really made negative affect on the listening experience and wanting to keep it ok for hours on end. Not too bad tho I finished the book.

Surprisingly interesting and informative.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definately recommend to all; even non-poker players. Great science-based insights for everyone who wants to be better at any activity and improve oneself at setting and accomplishing goals.

What other book might you compare The Mental Game of Poker to and why?

Jared's book and methods are to the mental side of poker what Doyle's Super Systew is to the strategy side of poker.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Cadence was well metered but the alternate voice sounded mechanical and contrived. Should have used actual players or someone else's voice.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. Too much info for 1 sitting.
