Before I get started, I would like to welcome our newest addition to the Pokerfuse Podcast Directory, The Mental Game of Poker, hosted by Jared Tendler.

I have personally been a fan of Jared since I first found his tilt videos on Stoxpoker. Jared has some very special guests lined up this week that you won’t want to miss, so be on the lookout for Jared’s announcement on Twitter @jaredtendler, or keep an eye on the directory.

While we wait, he also has some great guests in the show archives, with poker authors, coaches and professional players offering their thoughts on the mental aspects of playing poker both online and live.

Thinking Poker is sans guest this week. In their 11th episode Andrew and Nate reflect on their first 10 shows and ask their listeners to chime in and let them know what aspects of past shows they liked and what direction they should take for future episodes. The guys also talk a lot of strategy, both at and away from the table.

If you have ever wondered if you should specialize in a particular game or if you should diversify your skill set and learn a mix, you will want to check out the mailbag segment of Thinking Poker.
