Hello!

I'm Dr. Tricia Cardner.

I Help Poker Players Master Their Mindset & Play Their Best Game

Poker isn’t just a game of skill—it’s a test of mental toughness. I know firsthand how challenging it can be. That’s why I’ve spent over a decade helping players like you overcome tilt, build confidence, and perform at their highest level.

I know what it feels like to struggle with tilt, confidence issues, and the emotional swings of poker—to know you have the potential, but still let mindset leaks hold you back.

 

Back in 2006, I was just like you—fascinated by poker, but frustrated by how many players let their emotions ruin their game.

 

As a licensed professional counselor and psychology professor, I wanted to understand what separates mentally tough, high-performing players from those who struggle under pressure. But no one was teaching poker psychology in a way that was practical and backed by science—so I made it my mission to change that.

I spent years researching performance psychology, cognitive behavioral strategies, and decision-making under stress. The result? A mental game framework designed specifically for poker players to help them master tilt, build resilience, and perform at their highest level—session after session.

 

Now, after coaching thousands of players and writing three books on poker mindset, I’ve helped players just like you:

âś… Stop letting bad beats ruin their session.
✅ Build confidence to make the right decisions—even under pressure.
âś… Develop the discipline to study smarter and play with consistency.

If you're ready to take control of your mindset and play your best poker, let's get started.
