What do elite athletes like Dwayne Johnson, Lebron James, and Tom Brady have in common?

They relish the work.

They find success through process, not procrastination. They create an environment for constant improvement, and surround themselves with the resources and tools necessary to achieve goals.

This allows them to focus on the task at hand and actually have fun doing the "work"

If you find the idea of "doing the work" overwhelming, it's likely because you don't have a plan for improvement, or you don't even now what specific part of your game needs to be improved.

Now, we aren't suggesting you wake up at 4:00 AM and hit the gym everyday (unless you want to!), but you need to create a dependable cycle for continuous improvement.

That's where we can help!

Get started right now by watching the Strategy Episode from Fearless River Mental Game Coach Jared Tendler about Improving Your Worst Decisions and discover a repeatable process for confronting and correcting your mistakes away from the table (just like the pros do!) so you don't make them when it really counts.

FYI... this exclusive access was available to non-members of Fearless River for a limited time, through April 1st.

We've made the plan, so it's time for you to Do the Work!

We'll see you online!

Let’s talk about poker goals…

SMART goals - canva

But these won't be just ANY poker goals. Today we are talking about S.M.A.R.T. goals.

What are S.M.A.R.T. goals?

S.M.A.R.T. goals are:

Specific: Instead of saying, "I'm going to start winning at poker", one could say, "I'm going to plug leaks in my cash game spending 30 minutes a week watching Fearless River Strategy Episodes and reviewing notes I take to make sure I am applying what I learn at the table."

Measurable: Progress must be trackable. Setting concrete milestones for assessing your progress allows you to adjust based on your results. Not sure how you are doing? Ask our Fearless River Pros along the way for their advice using the Ask a Pro or Hand Input Tool feature.

Attainable: Maybe you want to become a WPT Champion, but you haven't yet won a WPT event. Better to start with something like: "Grow my poker bankroll to $_____ where I can comfortably play in a WPT Tournament" or "Attend a Fearless River Live Workshop for interactive professional training".

Relevant: This means that the goal fits into your real life situation, skills, and desires. An irrelevant poker goal to set would be to play poker only on days that start with the letter "T". 😉

Time-Bound: This means your goal has a "when" associated with it. That could mean, "I'll play every Saturday for the next 4 weeks", or it could mean, "I'll join Fearless River and review a strategy video every other day for 30 days". As long as you account for time, your on your way to setting a SMART goal!

So right now... try articulating your SMART poker goal. Say it out loud to yourself, write it down, and keep it somewhere visible!

One post-it note with a SMART goal in it in the right place can work WONDERS for your motivation!!

Much success,
Fearless River

Playing from the Blinds

Poker-Buttons-canva

In No Limit Hold'em, players lose more money from the Blinds than any other position in poker.

Why? Most players are either playing too aggressively (they don't want to give up chips without a fight) or playing too passively (fearing a 3-bet or their raise getting called).

Whether you are defending from the Big Blind, completing from the Small Blind, raising limpers, or 3-Betting late position raisers, understanding how to play each position as profitably as possible (no matter what your cards) will help keep those chips in YOUR stack!

Put your decision-making skills from the Small Blind and Big Blind to the test using the scenarios below:

  1. Set of 9♠9♣ on the Flop
  2. K♥J♥ vs a Large Raise
  3. Q♠Q♦ on the Flop
  4. A♦K♦ vs a Raise and a Call
  5. A♠Q♦ on the Turn


Understanding and mastering the strategies delivered in the following Fearless River Episodes will give you the opportunities to exert a skill edge against your opponents and play from the Blinds effectively:


Keep on practicing!

Join Us in Congratulating Manju!

Manju G - Success Story

We continue to be overwhelmed by all of the feedback we receive from Fearless River Students.

Not only about the success they’ve been having at the tables since joining or attending a Live Workshop (which is great!), but more importantly how they are improving their play by studying and applying the Fearless River game-plan.

Read how Fearless River Live Student, Manju G. from Diamond Bar, CA is implementing the Fearless River game-plan and making history by being the 1st woman to win a WSOP Circuit ring at Thunder Valley!



"Dear Fearless River support team,

Wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the most useful concepts presented at the workshop I attended in Feb at the Commerce Casino.

Poker in general is male dominated and being a middle age woman certainly put me at a disadvantage.

The workshop not only gave me the needed confidence but also provided a strategic blueprint in how to maneuver through various stages in a tournament.

Even though the concepts presented were for NLH, I was easily able to apply them in the various mixed games tournaments I played. As a result, I’ve cashed more times in the last 7 months than all of last year.

My most success was at the recent Thunder Valley Circuit where I got my first WSOP ring (see link below) and back to back cashes in the other two events I played.

These cumulative wins put me on top of the leader-board thereby earning the title of the Casino Champion and a free 10K seat to the exclusive 2018/19 Global Casino Championship.

Never thought I would ever play a 10K tourney but thanks to the WPT Team, I get a chance to do so. Am so glad I took the plunge and attended your workshop, it’s more than paid for itself - thank you!"

-Manju G.


Congratulations on your poker success, Manju and we look forward to cheering you on at the WSOP Global Casino Championship and what you will accomplish in the future! 👏

As a student of the game, Manju has the Fearless River mindset that practicing and applying the Fearless River game-plan will put you on the path to success.

Fearless River can do the same for you and your poker game! Try your first month of Fearless River for only $5 or attend a Fearless River Live Workshop and you could be our next Success Story!

What is the Big Blind Ante?

Check out Matt Savage's recent article as he explains the benefits and rules of the new Big Blind Ante (BBA) structure in tournaments and why the World Poker Tour adopted it.

So... what strategic adjustments should you be making because of the new Big Blind Ante format?

The answer might surprise you....

Watch the below preview of Fearless River Strategy Episode 237 as Nick Binger answers a Member submitted question from our Ask a Pro feature regarding adjustments for the new Big Blind Ante structure:

tournament-big-blind-ante


Key take aways from Matt Savages' article all players should know:

  • There will be one single ante posted for the whole table by the player in the Big Blind.
  • The ante is posted first and players from any position will be eligible to win the entire ante regardless of chip stack.
  • Antes never reduce until end of tournament.
  • In regards to payouts, if two players are all-in at same table and one is in the Big Blind, (a) the Big Blind gets credit for ante first, (b) the player out of the big blind gets full credit for ante, and (c) the ante is considered dead in the pot.
  • Dealers, staff, and players alike have universally claimed how much easier and more efficient it is. Dealers do not have to remind distracted players to post their antes every hand.
  • More hands are being dealt, allowing structures to remain deeper for longer portions of tournaments.
  • There are less chips in play and less need to make change.

"The TDA and I share a mantra of consistency and, whether or not you personally agree, you should live with the change to be consistent for the benefit of the players. I know that big blind ante is a great change to no-limit hold’em poker tournaments. The big blind ante is here to stay! The bottom line is that BBA is faster and downright better!"

- Matt Savage
