Welcome to Episode 168! In this episode, MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Mindset Coach Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker strategy & mindset. In this episode, we answer a question from Paul who wants to know our opinion on how long someone can expect to play at a high level with good results as he has noticed that there are not too many older players that fit this criteria.

Topics discussed include:

● The difference between crystallized and fluid intelligence and the role they play in poker
● How to keep your brain healthy
● Tips for keeping your mind fit (including suggestions for brain enhancing activities)
