Thankfully this year’s World Series of Poker was mercifully free of the technological controversies that dominated the conversation at the end of last year’s WSOP Main Event.

While phones were still a highly visible presence on the tables and rails of most tournaments in Las Vegas this summer — barring feature tables or tournaments nearing their climax — there were few to no accusations of solver use or the type of technology that corrupts the purity of the game.

But as many poker organisations will attest, this is not a problem that has been resolved for good. As technology continues to advance (and shrink in size), detection is going to be more challenging and more important than ever.

Will we soon see a time when more steps are introduced to detect, limit, and even ban technology from the poker tables?

If and when that moment comes, the player who can perform best without the crutches of tech will have the true edge. And of those, the ones with a pack of MADMONQ tablets on hand will be at the forefront.

MADMONQ: The extra edge

When everyone faces the same limitations, who has the edge? Those who use every advantage they can — including MADMONQ chewable tablets.

Their unique combination of natural and patented ingredients deliver a boost in performance in key areas that separate the winners from the losers in any poker game.

The WSOP, the near future…

Imagine sitting down for a full day of tournament play in a future with no technology permitted anywhere near the tournament area.

No more using your breaks to check the stream on breaks, drill tricky spots, review ranges or open your mindfulness app. How do you prepare, optimize and execute?

Breathing exercises

Breathing exercises are a great way to level out our adrenaline levels and maintain equilibrium. We don’t need technology to hold our breath, concentrate on breathing and slow down our heart rate.

Micro-stretching

Sitting still for hours on end is not great for your body, and can be detrimental to your levels of mental focus. A routine of micro stretches is easy to remember and simple to implement, even while at the table.

Focus exercises

Without needing to refer to a screen, simple memory exercises can help you remember key information. Techniques such as the ‘memory palace’ — an imagined journey through a building or space — can help with recall when it comes to things like ranges.

Then there’s visual-focus drills, which help keep your eyes from tiring and keep you on point for longer. Regularly shifting your focal range, from near to far and back, or tracing an imagined shape in the air with your eyes, will keep you sharp when you need to be.

All these exercises will help, but MADMONQ is the extra step in the routine that will help you achieve your full potential.

Make your brain your biggest edge and get yourself future-proof!
