Nick Howard founded Poker Detox, an NLHE training company in May 2016. In its first year, Poker Detox produced three major public courses, and Nick began a side project attempting to train a selection of losing players, using a team-training format. By Fall of 2017, that “losers” team had proven itself successful, and Nick had been able to refine his coaching methodologies to a point where he was ready to expand. Poker Detox now functions as one of the most elite application-based staking companies in the industry, containing a crew of mind coaches and language-optimization experts that work to provide a full support system for students. The company achieved a high enough level of methodology that it became possible to tailor the Detox training system for players of different native languages and even different learning types. The result is a powerful combination of training exercises that highlight the necessary concepts while empowering the learner to choose their path toward integration. Applications for new team members are accepted several times per year, and in 2018 Poker Detox became the first training organization to offer guaranteed salaries to its players. Today, Nick Howard shares about The Funhouse Effect, something he notices while working with Jason Su on Poker with Presence. Key Takeaways * The 8 Man Zoom Group. * The struggles of the 8 man. * The Funhouse. Quotes * The more you are projecting from a distorted unresolved emotional space, the more you’re going to be sort of twisting the information in front of your face in a way that’s not actually accurate. That’s the real reason that we need to work with emotions as performers. * “One of the hardest things about Poker is that, because we’re not getting immediate feedback on the quality of our decision.” Resources * https://presence-profit.samcart.com/products/mpp Rate & Review If you enjoyed today’s episode of Beyond Poker, hit the subscribe button in Apple Podcasts, (or wherever you listen) so future episodes are automatically downloaded directly to your device.

Patrick Howard started playing Poker back in the moneymaker era when he was really young. Patrick took a long break to pursue a degree in physics. He started his PHD but decided to quit within 1 year as he realizes that Science isn’t something for him. In 2017, he came back to Poker. He started by helping Nick out with various jobs at Poker Detox and played part time on Nick's stake throughout 2018. At the end of 2018, he created a course called Ether which uses Hand2Note data to quantify the population's bluffing frequencies across the game tree. At the beginning of this year, he started playing full time on his own stake on Ignition. He broke even for a couple of months, but things really took off in March and he climbed from 200nl to 2000nl over the course of the last four months. Marinelli was a long-time member and coach of the Poker Detox crew and also the Co-founder of BigBetU Matt Marinelli. He’s not one to outright dismiss differing opinions or feel overly sensitive when another player critiques his play. He simply listens to the feedback, takes that he believes is valuable, upgrades his game and then disregards the rest. When you’re constructed in this way as a human being and surround yourself with some of the best poker players and minds on the planet, there is no alternative destination than experiencing massive poker success. Key Takeaways * Recap with Patrick Howard and Matthew Marinelli * The best way for the average player to improve their study process. * Patrick Howard on Simplicity on the other side of Complexity. * Simplicity and accuracy * The Detox Elite Program * How to quantify mistakes in a way that allows players to walk away with confidence * Why is it necessary for Patrick and Matthew to seek out coaching even though they’re already winning players? * Difference that one-on-one coaching makes. * Poker players on Merry-Go-Round * Why is Matt running this program?
