Interview Content

Alex recently took down two $109 buy-in MTT's: one on Americas Cardroom and the other on Party Poker.  Check out the video replays on his Assassinato Coaching YouTube channel.  They're well worth the watch as he speaks to a lot of final table strategy used to win.  He shares with us some strategies on keeping your head in the game when you're short-stacked at the final table.  One great piece of strategy he offered:

When the board comes down 23456 and both players can expect a chop, one of the players may lead out in hopes of pushing their opponent off the chop.  If you believe this to be the case, you can throw out a 3x raise, and they'll think you're only doing this with a better hand as if you're chopping you'd just call.  Don't raise just 2x his bet b/c he'll often just make a sighing call.

As part of Alex's most recent webinar called ‘The Professional's Mindset', mental game coach John Wood gave a ton of great information on working on your mental game to be at the level of a professional poker player.  In the past, Alex coached John on his poker game and John coached Alex with some of his mental game issues.  Alex highly recommends John over all other mental game coaches.
