Welcome Elliot Roe - Pokermindcoach.com @ElliotRoe1 - Twitter
What is hypnotherapy? For poker players? Removing emotion and tilt from the game, coaching UFC fighters, EFT and corticies.
Great quotes from Elliot during this interview:
"You can win any hand, because you're either increasing your value, or decreasing your opponents value. That's all the game of poker is."
"You can not win the pot in every hand, but the whole concept of poker needs to be: How can I decrease the value of his hands when he's got me beat, and increase the value of mine when I've got him beat? And that's all the game is."

Derek "Killingbird" Tenbusch started Tournament Poker Edge in 2010 with his friend and co-owner Diego "Ron Fez Buddy" Lomanto. Tournament Poker Edge, or TPE, is a tournament poker training site with hundreds (if not thousands) of training videos by dozens of professionals in the game. Derek is modest when he says that he's not a professional poker player. But if grinding over 80 hours a week, being a consistant winner in the game, being financially backed, having a poker coach, and running a poker training site doesn't make you pro, then we don't know what does.
Intro:
Saving cats from trees, fist fights at the tables, karma comes back to bink a tournament.
Welcome KB:
Podcasting, getting started in poker, binking a $2500 SNG, starting Tournament Poker Edge, MTTs on Bovada, Winning Poker Network & Merge, Having a poker backer, work ethic = 80+ hours per week, TPE videos, going into the mailbag.
