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.

Scott Seiver called his shot in 2024, making it known that he intended to win World Series of Poker Player of the Year honors. After 17 cashes, nearly $1.5 million in earnings, and three bracelets, he accomplished his goal and will have a banner hanging at the Horseshoe/Paris for future generations of poker players to see.  With seven bracelets overall, Seiver now ranks seventh all time and is tied with such greats as Billy Baxter, John Hennigan, and Daniel Negreanu. Despite his focus on high-stakes cash games, the 39-year-old Ivy League grad has still managed to rack up more than $27 million in tournament earnings, including numerous high roller wins and a World Poker Tour title.Highlights from this interview include a first-time full-summer grind, abandoning his chips, playing regs vs. unknowns, being recognized by his peers, good enough at Omaha, low-stakes razz over high-stakes hold'em, $2,000 movie tickets, a prestigious deuce, last of the old school, the hall of fame, 10-2 with Doyle Brunson, and dad's D'Brickashaw disbelief.

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. When he wasn't gambling for a living, whether it was on poker, sports, or blackjack, Sklansky worked as a casino advisor. Not only did he invent the foundation for Caribbean Stud, but the 'resident wizard' famously convinced Bob Stupak to build the Stratosphere tower on the Las Vegas Strip.  Highlights from this interview include being the black sheep in a family of geniuses, logic puzzles from dad, the Ivy League poker game, being an 'insufferable' math rebel, hi-lo split declare, putting pen to paper in 1976, poker theory back to Neumann and Nash, being a GTO deviant, getting barred as a blackjack player, taking advantage of bad casino math, scheming with Bob, changing the Las Vegas Strip skyline, getting a state senator elected but losing a fixed race for mayor, a $30 million caribbean stud loss, challenging Donald Trump to a $1 million board game, matching JK Rowling, signing autographs for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, owning two unique pieces of WSOP history, being the ultimate third wheel, the $1 million briefcase, Sklansky bucks vs. implied odds, avoiding a punch from Floyd Mayweather, and all five times he was held at gunpoint.
