CPG Is Your Poker Philosophy, Mindset, & Performance Monastery. Train Your Brain Before You Buy In.
Data and study is the easy part… we think? It’s that other half that makes a thinking poker player lose sleep: the mental game.
Preflop charts and hand reps can only take you so far. For those seeking the intangible edge, for those poker players looking to unlock something else within themselves — it takes an exploration of the mind to find and forget your fears; to put yourself into a place of presence in the game.
CPG has searched the earth (or the internet; same thing) for poker’s leading philosophers, mindset experts, and performance gurus to take deep dives into the headspace game within the game.
Join us each week for Philosophical Fridays, dive into the archives of the Detox Files, or check out one of the many CPG pod episodes dedicated to this infinite subject matter.
