In this video, Sky from Smart Poker Study tackles common poker mental game issues like inability to fold overpairs or tilting after mistakes. He provides a practical three-step approach using mottos: "perception is reality," "mind over matter," and "fake it till you make it" to help players transform their mindset and overcome psychological barriers that affect their game.

Mental game issues often stem from fixed beliefs that can be changed through conscious mindset shifts and consistent practice of new thought patterns.
