1. This series is not only the best poker podcast by far, but it’s also one of the best podcasts on any subject. You guys are very good interviewers and clearly put a lot of work into it before, during, and after.
2. How is it that Uri Peleg is mentioned by nearly every single nosebleed crusher as a key inspiration for them? One day you’re going to get Linus on and we’re gonna find out Uri coached him up from midstakes
Excellent interview and podcast. Everything is neatly timestamped, the questions are natural and not forced, they let the interviewee speak without jumping and cutting in. No bullshitting around and gossiping or trash talking. This is quality✅
Wow wow can’t wait to listen to this. You guys are smashing the podcast game!!! ❤❤Ignacio “Nacho” Moron next please 🙏🏼🙏🏼
No hablo ingles bueno :(
@@MechanicsOfPokereven with subtitles would be amazing 😊
For me the biggest thing was how barak learned to be fine with making mistakes. This has been big problem for me aswell critizing my mistakes and feeling really angry at myself. Nice to hear others struggle with it and its part of the game

bro, your just making this better and better
Haha, well that is the idea so happy to see you think so :)
Keep the episodes coming! Huge fan. I listen to each episode over and over especially the cash
I think my biggest takeaways are
Poker is like life, u want to grow in both aspects. His definition of success ( which i totally agree) is doing what u like n enjoy.
Taking shots - being aggressive ( if it works for u ). Also having a BR management plan that works for u- not what others say or u learn from a course.
Try different things, see what works for you. And what makes u feel right / good.
Being able to communicate with others about all this.
Very important and informative i thoght was.. being able to embrace and allowing yourself to experience pain.
Communicate with your self and your emotions
Dont be in a rush to get rid of the pain
... pain + reflection = growth as Adam says. Very intriguing IMO
Be grateful for your accomplishments & milestones, building a tolerant mindset for being risk adverse
Self awareness very important
Being able to adapt
Also most importantly being aware of your mistakes & being accountable
And with that being able to forgive yourself- you are going make mistakes in life & poker... i also can relate sometimes myself it takes two/ three times to learn from mistake but the most important thing is correct dont repeat.. . This was a very interesting & informative episode i will have to watch it back a 2nd time
Thanks alot guys
Lot of words there. Sick retelling of the pod.
Nice another podcast :) these are my main takeaways:
- Try to be a better friend with yourself than you used to be
- Figure out what mental problem you have that's preventing you from executing the knowledge you possess at the table
- When moving to live pay attention to obvious timing tells like when someone snap checks they're telling you they don't have the nuts
Very impressive and self aware guy, great podcast
When are we getting another old PA dutch crusher? :) Luuk gieles / kevin paque / teun mulder / floyd rossner / brian kamphorst
Kevin Paque !! (y)

Thanks a lot for this, so much value in here :)
fantastic interview, as usual!
you guys killing podcast!
Adam keep going!!you are very motivated..if you continue like this you will be the best mental couch on the market🧡you both ask players very good questions all the time💜❤
Yes this is the best podcast for poker for sure
finally a new episode!
⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟
Live Play:
Softer and different.
Pay attention to all hands; watch showdowns.
Easier to put certain players on exact hands.
Who is on tilt, tightening up, hard exploiting others?
Game plan the table and adjust.
Thanks for it ❤
Crecer como persona te hace crecer en la parte mental del poker, siempre se ve desde la perspectiva contraria
The big beast Barak💪🏼💪🏼
Beast!
as usual the best questions💜💛super good guest❤💫💯
Would love to see Cole Swannack on the pod!
Declined for now unfortunately, maybe in the future 🙏🏻
very wise guy
I LOVE YOU GUYS
Sounds like Uri Peleg is a really good coach
Pricing info for Mechanics of Poker 2.0? Can't find on website
The best product and pricing model is depended on the individuals situation, apply to the program and based on your information we will find what is best fitting for you at this moment in your career.
@@MechanicsOfPoker I had the same question but equally, what stakes of player do you take on ? Be interesting to know stakes, expected time commitments etc for a lot of people I'd imagine. As I'm guessing with a full time job this is probably a no go straight away
@@martincoughlan478 For the mechanics of poker program we consider accepting players who are already pro and play fulltime at 50NL+ or 2/5 live, and semi pros who play 100NL+, are putting in significant effort, and are looking to go pro soon
would be great if u could get davyjones on the pod!!
No hablo ingles bueno sufficiente :(
When n where are the winners of the monthly GTO WiZ giveaway , i always seem to miss that or not kno where to look
Jus curious
Either way keep up the great work guys
By far the best poker podcast .. jus podcast in general out there
Lol lol, you will find out as i just replied on your comment from the previous podcast that you were the winner :D. So at every pod iv replied to one of the takeaways that he/she has won it
@@MechanicsOfPoker ru saying I won on the last one , n missed the notification somehow
Or are you just meaning you will reply to the winner n they will kno ? Lol I'm confused
As I do watch every one as soon as it's released and I always comment with a big message with my thoughts .
I don't think I missed a reply saying I won.
But fingers crossed lol
Thanks mate
@@MechanicsOfPoker lol I see it now 🤣
Another poker interview with one of the best players in the world, an audience which is interested in the question of how to improve in poker, and no direct questions asked, how would you improve, your advice, What are some wrong or right ways etc etc. This makes me sad :(
