How Petr Finally Beat Tilt (And Transformed His Poker Career)

I’ve just uploaded a new YouTube video that I think a lot of you will resonate with.

It’s a conversation with Petr, one of my Poker Athlete students.

Before we started working together, tilt and anger were regularly costing him sessions. Aggressive opponents would trigger him and lead to him making big mistakes.

In this interview, he talks openly about:

• What his tilt actually looked like (and why it kept repeating)

• How trying to “control” anger only made things worse

• The identity shift that finally allowed him to stay calm under pressure

• Why self-awareness gave him the key insight he needed

• And what changed for him at the tables once that inner work clicked

This is an honest look at what real change actually takes.

You can watch it here:

P.S. If you see yourself in Petr’s story, this is exactly the kind of work we do inside the Poker Athlete program — training the skills behind emotional stability, self-awareness, and consistent performance.

Applications are open at the moment if you feel ready to work on that side of your game (the link is in the description).

Either way, I think you’ll get a lot from the conversation.
