The Season 2 Finale
It's the end of another magical season of poker distilled and what better way to start 2024 than to hear Pete and Melissa discuss why tilt and gambling issues are two points on the same spectrum and why not knowing how to fight people short-handed in wide range spots makes you a hollow shell of a poker player.

There are No Employees in Poker
Why being a poker player is like being the CEO of a one person company; why trying to play your range at the expense of considering your hand is almost always asking for trouble; and why calling someone a 'Karen' is a reprehensible act. This episode explains it all.

Are YOUR Poker Decisions Rational?
Today there is good news and there is bad news. The good news is that Pete's golf game is no longer as terrible as it was. The bad news is that there is a very high chance that you make poker decisions for irrational reasons. In this episode we discuss the various mental game leaks that cause unsound thought processes and how to go about fixing them.

Is Poker a Lonely Pursuit?
Your poker career can be an isolating place. You are solely responsible for your fate and no one else can truly experience your poker journey like you do. What can we do to make poker a less lonely place and what has happened to the lost arts of sweats and study groups. Are we missing out on one of the greatest aspects of learning the game by making so much of our study solitary?

Are YOU Pete's Next YouTube Star?
Pete is looking to recruit a new online cash game student who has a bit of a following in the poker world. The new star could be a well known live player. It could be HELLMUTH? Or maybe it could be you? In this episode we also discuss Melissa's epic $5/$10 heads up battle with the cardroom manager. Our final segment is on the concept of trade offs in poker strategy and how humans are quite bad at thinking in this vital way.

Interesting and thought-provoking discussions about life and poker
More great content from Pete Clarke and Melissa is great as well. They bring the mental and emotional aspect of poker (and life) to the forefront for discussion while providing two different perspectives - the veteran professional and the passionate, serious amateur developing her game. Looking forward to more episodes.
