Staying in the comfort zone will result to short-term profits but venturing outside this comfort zone will mean more profits, moving up, adaptability to other circumstances, mastering other kinds of games.

Let us say you do not go for higher stake poker games, then it is but natural that you will not develop the skills and the killer instincts to conquer this game. If you cannot handle the pressure of short handed games, then tournaments will be like jumping off a cliff for you.

If you want to develop your game, you need to get out of your comfort zone. The more often, the better. Getting out of it though involves sacrificing your short-term profits and of course, your comfort.

Do not resist change. It takes getting used to but you will be able to adapt as you see clearly the long term effects of your venturing out of your comfort zone. You will be losing some money along the way but it is all part of the game. You need to remember the big picture and your goal at the end of the line. You have to weigh the psychological sacrifices as well as the financial risks involved.

The cause and the effects of getting out of the comfort zone must be clear so you can rationalize why you want to move out of your comfort zone. The relationship among these factors will be the primary force that is holding you back from improving your game, and going out of your comfort zone.

Thanks for all of this, Tony!

He always wanted to consider taking up some form of sports as his career. Poker did not come his way until he was in junior college and from that time onwards he has been completely hooked to the game of poker. The nuances of the game he picked up from the players that he was pitted against at the local casino that he played at in the small town. At the same time he devoted enough time to his online poker game and went on to pick up enough strategies and techniques from there as well.

Then in the year 2000, Erick Lindgren went on to participate in live tournaments. In the year 2002 he went on to win the coveted Five Diamond World Poker Classic and got himself a win of $228,192. This kind of sparked his interest further in the potential of poker games and he began traveling all over the globe to attend poker games. Up until now he has been able to get total winnings of $6,779,730 and there is still more to come at the rate at which he has been playing the game of poker.

The one poker player that Erick Lindgren really respects is Daniel Negreanu. The one thing that he hates and wouldn’t want any of is war in this world. He is not married and has no children. The moment he left school Erick Lindgren started playing poker and it has continued to be the major pull and passion in his life.

When he is not playing poker he is ether listening to rap music or watching a movie. His ambition is to win himself the title of the best poker player for the year. The nick name that has stuck to him is E-Dog. He was born in the year 1976 and at this young age has been able to rake in a great amount of fame and fortune for himself all from the game of poker. He has had 25 money finishes so far.

The first time that he won a tournament was in the year 2002 at Bellagio. This was immediately followed by another win in the World Poker Tour and this was just ten months later. Six months later, he went on to win at the WPT Party Poker Million Cruise and this wining spree spurred him on further to go on and participate in more tournaments.

Erick Lindgren has penned a book called the World Poker Tour: Making the Final Table. This is a book that is filled with down to earth strategies that one can go on to apply in their game of poker and win.

Excellent read by Antonio Esfandiari, excellent table talk by Phil Laak.
