    Rising Stars #3 - Matthew Fedoson

Matthew Fedoson is our special guest today as he shares his journey of what it’s been like to rise from the early stages of pub poker to transition into the 'real' poker world. It’s not easy to make this transition when pub poker carries a culture of carelessness, victim mentality and lack of awareness around game theory and decent structured tournament play. Matt came to Brendon for coaching about 6 months ago and has certainly been put to the test. In our conversation Matt opens up about some of the lessons he’s learnt along the way with regards to managing his mindset, health, relationships and keep strong through those downswings and finding ways to love the process that poker presents. Matt has also dedicated himself to learning more about game theory by being a part of Brendon's online group training courses and studying up through GTO wizard and various training videos. If you are interested in some private coaching or are interested in being a part of one of Brendon's upcoming online group courses please reach out through social media platforms or Brendon's websites.

    Rising Stars #2 - Adam Agresta

    This episode features Adam Agresta from Sydney, Australia. Adam has been a passionate follower of poker for well over 15 years and last year worked with Brendon 1:1 with some private coaching. He had a burning desire to take his game to the next level and knew he needed some mentorship along the way if he was going to improve. About 3 or 4 months after their coaching alliance began Adam highlighted his career with a WPT win on the Gold coast. What an achievement – Adam went through the ups and downs of poker but remained strong and optimistic as he built on his resilience and theoretical knowledge. Even though Adam had that result, they both agree that it doesn’t end there. Brendon and Adam both share similar views on life, poker and entrepreneurship as they agree that life is about constantly being a work in progress. One of Adam’s biggest strengths is that he is able to reflect on his experiences honestly, authentically and with a desire to find areas of improvement. This is a very rare but necessary aspect of a winning poker mindset. These days you may not find Adam on the felt as much as he used to as he has poured a lot of love, time and energy into his business selling meat pies filled with his Nonna Tinas Italian recipes.

    #16 - Joe Hachem

    Joe Hachem is a rare guest that even if you don’t know poker you’ll know that he won the World Series of Poker Main event back in 2005 for $7.5mill USD. Despite that major achievement Joe has been playing and promoting poker for well over 35 years. Join us for a discussion to learn more about the wisdom and insights that he acquired throughout his incredible poker journey. Joe takes pride in his values as a family man and, as we all know, poker can be very difficult to manage the balance between life and poker. This tends to have it’s impact on our mental health and ability to perform our best on the felt while still maintaining that life balance. In this episode Joe and Brendon discuss how to maintain healthy and fruitful relationships while in pursuit of your poker dreams. In summary even if you reach your poker goals and dreams but your relationships, health and life suffers in the process then you’ve missed the target. Joe and Brendon also open up on the concept and evolution of Game Theory Optimal and it’s effect on the game. Interestingly, given that Joe has been around poker since before GTO was even introduced, he shared some fascinating view points on what the true crux of winning at poker really is. The spoiler here is that Joe admits that, while the foundations are important, he doesn’t use GTO calculators or solvers. He believes poker is a game of getting inside the mind of your opponent and using those aspects to your advantage.

    #14 - Yita Choong

    After a few months break we return to The Australian Poker Mindset with one of Australia's hottest players right now, Yita Choong. Yita has consistently been making final tables and making life tough for us other competitors over the past few years but in the last month alone he has scooped two major results that has certainly caught our attention. Yita finished 4th in the Millionaire Maker at the WSOP in Vegas for $395k USD then returned to Sydney and finished and impressive 2nd in the Sydney Champs for a further $270k AUD. What an impressive two performances and what a privilege to have him on the podcast to share parts of his journey and mindset. Join us for the discussion to hear more about Yita's experiences on the main stage and some insight to the behind the scenes as to what processes he has in play to ensure he is bringing his A-game to each event. Interestingly, his background in chess has been an advantage with how to overcome losses and focus on personal development rather than, in poker, blaming things like bad luck.
