It’s all tablets and smart phones these days as players at the table interact with followers on social media or play games. Not every player here at the EPT is following the crowd however. Two of the field are reading actual books printed on old school paper.
Timo Pfutzenreuter is reading The Wolf of Wall Street by Jordan Belfort while Team PokerStars Pro Marcel Luske is reading Timothy Gallwey’s The Inner Game of Tennis.
The description on Amazon reads: “The Inner Game of tennis is that which takes place in our mind, played against such elusive opponents as nervousness, self-doubt and lapses of concentration. It is a game played by our mind against its own bad habits. Replacing one pattern of behaviour with a new, more positive one is the purpose of the "Inner Game". Peak performance at tennis, like any sport, only comes when our mind is so focused that it is still and at one with what our body is doing.”
Make of that what you will.
