Episode 170 - Superiority/Inferiority Complex

Poker On The Mind Podcast

Welcome to Episode 170! In this episode, MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance
Mindset Coach Dr. Tricia Cardner are back discussing all things poker strategy & mindset. In
this episode, we discussed a question that has been popping off in Tricia’s facebook group about
how Phil Hellmuth’s antics affect other players - especially recreational ones.
Topics discussed include:
● How & why Phil uses his personality as a marketing tactic
● A couple of hand examples where players targeted Phil and the reasons given were his
past treatment of them personally or other players
● Definitions of common psychological terms that get thrown around like narcissism and
delusions
● The difference between a superiority complex and an inferiority complex
● Why it’s important to keep in mind how another person perceives a situation
