Elliot Roe on what’s holding people back from becoming successful in poker

Elliot Roe is one of the top mental game and performance coaches in the poker industry. He worked with some of the most successful poker players in the world such as Fedor Holz, Alex Foxen, and Phil Galfond just to name a few. And he's helped many others achieve success in poker, business, and life.

In this episode, we discuss what are the most common things which hold people back from achieving success in poker. How to recognize if you are experiencing fear of success, how to get out of your comfort zone, the importance of not letting your ego play a role, how to set goals, and how to follow through on them. And there's so much more in this one. Plus Elliot lifts up the curtain on how he worked with Phil Galfond during the Galfond Challenge.
