Tournament Poker Edge

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.

Strategy:

Mike folds KK preflop twice in the last couple weeks, check call, check call, check call line.

In this episode we interview Jared Tendler, author of The Mental Game of Poker and The Mental Game of Poker 2.  Jared is a poker coach that helps players with issues of tilt and any problems they have with their game that revolves around the mental aspect.  Jared is not a strategy coach, but a coach for your mental stability at the tables.  We had a blast doing this interview and we know you will enjoy it.

 

If you would like to contact Jared for coaching or order his books, you can reach him at http://jaredtendlerpoker.com/

 

Jared also has a podcast called The Mental Game of Poker Radio Show.  Mike and I have listened to every episode from start to finish, and we would highly recommend it to you as well.  Very good interviews with professional players, and a great listen.
