Episode 88 - Bluff Catching and Confirmation Bias

Welcome to Episode 88! MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Mindset Coach & Educator Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker strategy & mindset as well as a nod to the holidays! After starting off with a brief catch-up, the hosts turned to answering a listener question about bluff catching the river that was based on a recent hand played in a MTT.

Topics covered include:

• The role that confirmation bias can play in our poker decisions
• How to prevent confirmation bias by looking for evidence that is contrary to your assumptions
• Why we need to consider the range of hands our opponent can be bluffing with
• Why blockers matter when it comes to bluff catching
• Why we must connect all the dots in a hand before we make big decisions
