What strategic thinking techniques can leaders apply from a world poker champion to better position themselves for success? In this episode, Rich sits down with Darren Elias,  a four time World Poker Tour champion. Darren is ranked number one all time in victories, final tables and cashes on the World Poker Tour and has amassed over $12.5 million in live tournament poker winnings. In this conversation, Darren gives us insight into preparation and execution, how to adapt on the fly, assessing and reading competition, and maintaining emotional control to make good decisions. ---------Key Quotes:“You really can't think about the money that much. You have to execute the strategy and you shouldn't be thinking in dollars or anything like that. You should be thinking in numbers and players and the relationships between our strategies. I think a lot of mistakes I've seen at big final tables come from players that get a little overwhelmed by the moment or the thinking about the money. That stuff you really shouldn't be thinking about until after the tournament.”“ The biggest thing for me is objective self evaluation, where I'm looking at how I played, I'm looking at the decisions from a distance and saying, was this hand played well? Was this the right play against this player in that situation? And really remaining confident that even though you're losing, and in poker tournaments, you actually lose 80 percent of the time.”“ Know who you're playing against….because  everybody has different strategies. You have loose players, tight players. You have ones that don't want to play big pots. You have ones that maybe don't play as many hands preflop….So really, try to understand your opponent. Uh, what they're trying to do with the table, what their general strategy is.”Practice Makes Profit: Reducing mental fatigue and burnout by batching your work. League of Strategic Minds [listener question]:  What's the best way to align strategies between different functional areas?Winsights: Ideas for Advantage:   Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, said, “Our company is 30 days from going out of business. You're always on the way to going out of business. If you don't internalize that sensibility, you will go out of business.” Ask yourself this, are you and your team meeting to discuss your business model and how it needs to evolve?--------Time stamps:(00:41) Deep Dive Interview with Darren Elias(37:48) Practice Makes Profit(39:43) League of Strategic Minds (41:08) Winsights, Ideas for Advantage  ---------Links:Submit a question for Rich to the League of Strategic Minds: https://www.strategyskills.com/strategic-minds-podcast/ Darren Elias on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-elias-3a1432114/BetMGM: https://www.linkedin.com/company/betmgm/Rich Horwath on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richhorwath/Rich Horwath on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RichHorwathRich Horwath on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richhorwathceo/Strategic Thinking Institute Website: https://www.strategyskills.com/Inc.

Jonathan Jaffe has taken the poker world by storm for nearly a decade. This Massachusetts native started his journey as a professional poker player after just one semester of college and quickly rose to prominence. Specializing in heads-up Sit & Go tournaments, he made a name for himself at 21 by clinching 2nd place in his first World Poker Tour event . The confidence and notoriety launched him into the realm of backing and coaching. A few years immersed in high-stakes live cash games followed, but as that chapter closed, he transitioned seamlessly into full-time coaching.September 2022 marked a new era as he ventured into the Triton Poker Series, instantly becoming hooked and committing to playing every Triton event even while continuing his coaching.Last year was a whirlwind of research for an upcoming book that delves deep into the high-stakes tournament scene, exploring its vibrant culture and colorful personalities.

David Sklansky is perhaps the most prolific poker writer ever, and an all-around authority on all things gambling. The author of titles such as The Theory of Poker, Small Stakes Hold'em, DUCY?, Geeking, Grifting, And Gambling, and the latest, Small Stakes No-Limit Hold'em: Help Them Give You Their Money, is one of the few authors to simultaneously hold three spots on Amazon's top 100 bestsellers list.  The 76-year-old is a three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, and also took down the Poker By The Book invitational event on the World Poker Tour.

It took less than four years from Jesse Lonis to climb from $200 tournaments to competing in high rollers with the best players in the world. The New York native kickstarted his career with a World Poker Tour final table in 2021 at the Lucky Hearts Poker Open and then followed it up with a deep run in the WSOP main event, taking 25th place overall. In 2022, the former construction worker won a bracelet in the WSOP Online series, and nearly added a second that summer while also making two final tables at the WPT World Championship series.  But the 28 year old has put together his best year in 2023. In January he finished third in the $25,000 high roller at the Hard Rock in South Florida for $260,000 and then added another $370,000 with a win at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. This summer, he made a last-minute decisino to play in the $50,000 pot-limit Omaha championship and broke through for his second bracelet and a massive payday of $2.3 million. He now has $6 million in career earnings.Highlights from this interview include new births, being the Lonfellow Deeds of his hometown, watching grandma play Full Tilt, working construction "like a dog in a cage," following in Gilly's footsteps, a long and brutal stay at Circus Circus, being an old school player, ging broke and coming back, where he keeps the bracelets, jumping into a $50k event, big sports bets, J-Lo, CCR, and bird presentations.

Daniel Weinman topped the biggest World Series of Poker main event field in history, outlasting more than 10,000 entrants. Incredibly, he almost didn't play in the event and had to be convinced by friends, including six-time bracelet winner Shaun Deeb, to fly back from his native Atlanta, Georgia for the tournament.It was Weinman's second career bracelet, having won his first in 2022 on the way to finishing second in the WSOP Player of the Year race.

In 2017 he won the Borgata Winter Open and followed that up a few months later with a season-ending WPT Tournament of Champions victory.Highlights from this interview include sweating the Wall Street trader game as a kid, playing 24 tables at once, getting robbed at a home game, too much Chinese poker, winning a WPT with his back against the wall, taking a 9-to-5 'poker' job after winning his first bracelet, livestream integrity, how he got talked into the main event, how a two-outer saved more than just his tournament, the reluctant acceptance of added attention, getting his face on a trading card, plans for the bracelet, broken putters, getting fired from the movie theater for beating his manager, golfing with professional athletes and Trump, and how he started his bankroll by being one of the best guitar hero players in the world.
