Poker strategy: lessons from losing with Jonathan Little


Jonathan Little's poker strategy: lessons from losing

Jonathan Little is a two-time WPT champion and WSOP bracelet holder.

He recommends changing your mindset, detaching from emotional attachment to the outcome of any individual tournament.

He urges accepting variance as a normal part of the game and viewing each tournament as one of thousands you will play over your lifetime.

He advises playing within your bankroll and understanding that even the best players cash in only about 18% of tournaments, while 82% of the time they finish without a win.
