Could hypnosis really help you become a better poker player?

When you become aware of all the great things that have been achieved with the power of hypnosis, you have to answer 'Yes' to this question. Definitely yes.

It's now a proven fact that hypnosis and simply changing your frame of mind can help you lose weight, quit smoking and overcome many other challenges.

To quote Matt Damon, poker playing star of the movie 'Rounders', "I should have done it years ago. It's amazing I didn't even want cigarettes anymore," describing his hypnosis experience to Jay Leno on The Tonight Show in 2004.

As far back as 1956, many European and Eastern Bloc Olympic teams travelled with hypnotherapists, and after the L. A. Lakers winning game against the Sacramento Kings in 2002, Coach Phil Jackson credited their morning practice of self-hypnosis, meditation, and visualization with giving the Lakers the belief that they could win.

Hypnosis is also now widely accepted in golf with many of the top professionals using it to improve their game. Golf Digest magazine says Tiger Woods undergoes extensive mental training including hypnosis.

In fact thousands of sports stars have successfully used hypnosis to become champions in their field and there is no reason why poker players should not benefit from these techniques to improve their game too. As so much of poker is about strength of mind, it could be said it is the perfect arena for hypnosis.
