How Alan Went From Broke To $12,000+ Poker Months

Alan Finn Jr is one of my favourite poker students.

He is also a role model for everything I teach and his story is inspiring for everyone out there.

Not long ago, he was working a full time job whilst trying to grind poker on the side.

He was burning out and going nowhere fast.

Now he’s having $12k+ months crushing the toughest mid-stakes games online.

Want to know how he did it?

I just had a great conversation with Alan which I have to share with you.

Rather than “winging it” and hoping for the best, he put the work in and followed a system that got him to his goals.

It wasn’t always easy and he certainly wasn’t an overnight success, but he stayed committed and his story will resonate with all of you aspiring to achieve your poker dreams.

He became a Poker Athlete, optimised all the areas around performance and developed the skills he needed to thrive.

Losing at the poker tables sucks!

There’s no way to gloss it up.

You’d think that you’d be used to it by now, but there’s something about losing at poker that is hard to take.

Most players go through their whole poker careers never learning how to fully handle losing.

However, there is one really important thing you can do to help you deal with any losing sessions you have going forward.

It’s so simple that it’s almost always overlooked, or misapplied.

If you’re someone who struggles with losing, the video below is a must watch for you.

Understanding The Mind - The Root of Your Problems

Is it just me, or do you have a voice in your head that causes a lot of problems?

I first started to explore my mind about 7 years ago after reading The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer.

I soon realised it was a mess in there and that I had a lot of work to do to tidy things up.

I’ve finally got to a point now on my own personal development where I understand why the mind functions as it does…and why it causes so many problems.

It will save you years of pain and really allow you to change your life in a powerful way when you grasp this.

Through sharing my own experiences and analogies of the mind in action, I hope you will learn more about the mind from this one video than you have in your life up until now.

Playing vs Studying Poker: Which is best for learning?

We all know that learning poker is always a combination of playing and studying.

That being said, can you learn more optimally through high volume or high study hours?

Having been around hundreds of poker players in recent years, I realised the answer wasn’t so clear.

Some players are high volume machines and pick up poker naturally whilst grinding.

Other players need more time away from the tables to study broad concepts and then apply them to their game.

So which one are you?

In the video below I share my own experiences with this question and how to find the optimal balance for your unique style.

The Number 1 Skill For Poker Success

I’ve just finished coaching a group of players through my Poker Athlete program, which went amazingly well.

They levelling up 8 skills over the course of 8 weeks and made life changing transformations.

I wanted to know which of the skills they thought was the most important for their poker success, and I was surprised to find that 80% of the players agreed on the same skill.

Having reflected on the thousands of hours of coaching done over the past 5 years, I think they are right.

How To Win Your Poker Race

Forget being your average poker player, today we’re going to talk about how to be a Poker Athlete.

Now I’ve always admired elite level athletes and their dedication towards achieving their goals.

In order to perform at their best when it matters most, they have to train a specific set of skills on a daily basis.

Poker is no different.

There are a handful of skills (8 to be precise) that you have to train to a high standard if you want to compete with the best.

Notice that I used the word “train”.

It doesn’t matter what your current level is as all of these skills can be improved to an elite level with the right training.

When all of your skills are optimised, you bring your best performance to the table day in day out.

I’ll walk you through how you can do this in the video below.

How 10 Poker Players Became Elite Performers


Today I want to share with you the epic journey that 10 players I’ve just been coaching have gone through.

Just over 8 weeks ago I took on a group of players to coach through my new Poker Athlete program.

I’d put so much work into creating the program over the past 6 months, but in all honesty I was a bit nervous about how the players would find it.

Those fears were soon put to rest in the first few weeks as I was witnessing the huge transformations all the players were making right from off and that continued for the full 8 weeks.

I’m super proud of each and every one of my Poker Athletes, and I decided to create an awesome video to document their journey which I hope will inspire you!

Poker Players Enter A Strongman Competition (What Could Go Wrong...)

I don’t really know how this happened, but I ended up competing in my first (and probably last!) “strongman competition”.

Yes you read that right!

Other than watching the yearly edition of The Worlds Strongest Man on Boxing Day each year, I had no idea what I was letting myself in for.

Myself and my friend Ivan somehow got talked into entering the competition by one of the trainers at our gym...how naive we were.

Next thing you know, we are in a sweaty gym deep in the Bali jungle, surrounded by meat heads attempting to lift a lot of heavy objects!

S**t was about to get real!

P.S. There were a few unexpected events that almost ended us!

I hope you enjoy watching us suffer.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a poker strategy leak and a mental game leak?

To be honest, I hadn’t until one of my clients asked me a few days ago.

After a bit of reflecting, I realised that there was a different root cause behind the two and a completely different approach for dealing with each of them.

In this video you will learn exactly how to identify a mental game leak from a strategy game leak, and what you can do to fix them.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH: https://youtu.be/pBDmwGD-gpo

P.S. To become a better poker player, you need to work on improving your strategy and mental game simultaneously…this video will teach you how.

Most poker players run into various problems with their emotions throughout their poker career.

Poker is almost the perfect mixing pot which creates a cocktail of emotions you have to learn to deal with.

The problem is, most players never learn to develop the skill of regulating their emotions and end up victims to them.

Some will tilt off buy-ins, others will make emotional decisions that cost them direct EV and some will be unable to put in consistent volume.

All of these are HUGE leaks that can fixed by learned one powerful skill.

I know this as I’ve just coaching 10 players through my Poker Athlete program and watched the magic unfold.

In just 7 days, the 10 Poker Athletes I was working with were able to improve their emotional regulation skill by an average of 14%!

Now if that number doesn’t sound impressive to you, imagine being able to make 14% better decisions or put in 14% more volume every day.

And this was just in the first week, the players have gone on to make even further improvements since and it was all by learning and applying the framework you are going to learn about in the video below:

They now have almost full control over their emotions in real time and you can develop that skill too.

P.S. I’m opening up my Poker Athlete program for another 10 players and teaching them how to level up the skills they need for elite poker performance.

I have 6 spots left as of writing this, if you’re interested in joining just click in the link in the description to go through the application.

Now today I want to teach you the exact path you need to go down to become a better version of yourself.

I know that’s a big claim, and if I was just telling you what worked for me I wouldn’t be so confident.

But over the past few months I’ve coaching 10 players through this exact framework at the same time in my Poker Athlete program, and the results have been….unbelievable!

All 10 players made HUGE breakthroughs in 1-2 weeks when they committed to what you are going to learn in the video below.

If yes, then the video below is for you.

Now for a lot of people, the new year creates a fresh enthusiasm that this year could be better than the last.

The problem is, most of us don’t know how to direct that enthusiasm into a strategic plan that gets us to our goals.

After a few weeks the buzz fizzles out and we are back to our usual selves, feeling a bit flat and demotivated.

To make things worse, most of what you've probably heard about goal setting is wrong or severely incomplete.

So today I wanted to share with you a very powerful framework for how to set yourself up to crush your goals in 2022.

If you’re someone who want’s to be able to upgrade yourself and make lasting changes that keep you on track for your long term goals, then the video below will teach you how.

8 Poker Skills To Train In 2022

As a professional poker player, it’s crucial that you are always levelling up specific skills that allow you to perform better at the tables.

With so many different things you could be working on, many players struggle to know where to begin.

So today I thought I would simplify things for you and give you a roadmap of the skills you need to be training over the next year.

Having worked with over 400 players in the past 4 years, these are the 8 skills that are needed for elite poker performance.

Some of these skills will already be your strengths, some will be your weaknesses.

The good news is, all of these skills can be trained to an elite level, which will give you a huge edge on the competition.

Many of the skills also overlap, so by working on one skill, you level up the other skills at the same time (skill 1 and skill 8 are great for this!)
