  • Poker on the Mind - Episode 194: Transitioning from MTTs to Cash Games with Gareth James & Dr. Tricia Cardner

    💡 Main Topic: Transitioning from MTTs to Cash Games

    Listener question from Alex:
    "I'm grinding mid-stakes MTTs but struggling to adjust to the open-ended nature of cash games. How can I adapt my mindset and study habits?"

    🔑 Key Takeaways:
    1. Mindset Shifts:

      • MTTs have clear structure and end goals; cash games are open-ended.
      • Focus on process goals (hands played, time blocks) rather than outcomes.
      • Redefine success as consistently making +EV decisions, not session results.
    2. Study Tips:

      • Prioritize deep-stack strategies, as cash games typically run 100BB+.
      • Practice Raise First In and Big Blind Defense with tools like DTO or GTO Wizard.
      • Study common flop textures and develop strategies for frequent board types.
      • Active learning beats passive study: Drill hands, take notes, and revisit concepts.
    3. Emotional Resilience:

      • Cash players need strong mental toughness to handle reloading after losses.
      • Implement stop-loss rules if tilt becomes an issue, but bankroll should be the main determinant.
      • Be mindful of cognitive biases, like negativity bias and gambler’s fallacy.
    4. Execution & Adjustment:

      • It's not enough to know strategy—you must execute it consistently under pressure.
      • Adjust based on player types: Identify tendencies and exploit them accordingly.
      • Use hand reviews to spot leaks and tailor future study.
    5. Practical Tips for Transitioning:

      • Start at manageable stakes (e.g., $1/$2 live or 10NL online).
      • Experiment with formats (6-max, full ring, heads-up) to find what suits you best.
      • Set clear session goals (hands played, hours logged) to stay focused.
