Today’s guest on Chasing Poker Greatness is an elite cash game combatant who’s also a world-class poker coach, Patrick Howard.Pat is the younger brother of Poker Detox founder and one of my personal favorite CPG guests of all-time, Nick Howard.In my personal opinion, Poker Detox is the gold standard of staking groups. The way they’ve been able to scale and effectively/efficiently coach up pretty much any player to becoming a consistent winning cash game player is next-level impressive.You may not know this, but Pat has been incredibly influential in Poker Detox’s sustained success as their behind-the-scenes strategy architect. The first course Pat created was “Ether” which generated 6-figures+ in sales on the public market and was the springboard to “Mobius” … the mandatory private course all Detox members treat like their personal money-printing poker bible.On my personal mental list of the most influential and impactful coaches in all of poker, Patrick Howard is easily in my top 3. With that said, today is all about Patrick’s twisty, turn’y origin story into the world of poker.In today’s episode with Patrick Howard, you’re going to learn:- Why $6 is all that separated Pat’s massive success from soul-crushing failure.- A submitted question from rabid CPG podcast listener Nick H. inquiring about Pat’s thoughts on aliens.- The power of finding simplicity on the other side of complexity.- And much, MUCH more!And before you dive into today’s show, I’d like to say a few words on behalf of the sponsor of CPG… me!If you love the podcast and wanna support my content creation habit, there are a few real easy things you can do:Firstly if you’ve never had an account on poker platform Bovada and you live in the USA: Head to freenuffle.com where you can follow a few simple instructions (It only takes a few minutes, I pinky promise), get free access to $199 course Neutralize Flop Leads, and do your part in keeping this train a rolling.Secondly you can head to CPGMerch.com where you can buy a Chasing Poker Greatness branded hat or shirt and rep your favorite poker podcast in your favorite local cardroom.And finally, you can head to GreatnessVillage.com where you can opt-in to the CPG newsletter and level-up your poker network by plugging into a community that includes a mix of hobbyistis looking to take control of their poker destiny, hungry aspiring poker pros, and elite cash game crushers.Those links are freenuffle.com, CPGMerch.com, and GreatnessVillage.comAnd now, without any further ado, I bring to you the brilliant and wise-beyond-his-years Patrick Howard.To learn more about the Free Nuffle promotion, visit: https://chasingpokergreatness.com/free-nuffle-promotionNew CPG Cash Game Courses!Preflop Bootcamp: https://bit.ly/Preflop-BootcampFish in a Barrel: http://bit.ly/fish-in-a-barrelNeutralize Flop Leads: https://bit.ly/2OkN8Yt
