Free Hypnosis Script for Playing Better Poker Games [PDF]

Pre-Talk

While hypnosis can’t literally stack the deck in your favor, the same tools of clinical hypnosis that can help the golfer to hone his abilities can be used to increase your competitiveness at the game of poker. The same tools that can transform old patterns of behavior in weight loss or smoking cessation can also be used to help you overcome patterns of error at the card table.

Hypnosis can also help you change your mindset, creating the mindset of a winner. This is because poker, like pool, golf, or any competition, is a mental game. In addition, hypnosis can help you control the emotional game of cards, learning to respond from intuitive strategy rather than quick emotion. Perhaps the most valuable tool in hypnosis for the card player is learning the techniques of physical relaxation. Not only can this help control emotional responses, but it can also help you to create the perfect poker face. The face has over 200 little micro-muscles. Even sunglasses and a hat cannot hide a lifetime of automatic emotional response. These “tells” can be controlled by learning the skills of progressive muscle relaxation and becoming aware of the sensations in the skin, muscles, and face.

Hypnosis is not a magical state. It is a totally natural state of relaxation, coupled with incredible awareness. It is a time of learning, both physically and mentally. It is a time of developing incredible intuition and response. Of course, a competitive poker player needs to recognize their limits and approach the game as a business. If you feel that your gambling is out of control, if others tell you that you have a problem, or you have potential legal troubles due to your gambling or debt, you are advised to seek help from an organization such as Gamblers Anonymous. However, if you are a competitive player who enjoys victory and can game in a responsible manner, this session can transform your game.

I am going to guide you through a process of hypnotic induction called progressive muscle relaxation. This is, in and of itself, a valuable skill for the poker player to learn because it can allow you to take physical control over your emotions. I am also going to use a hypnotic anchor. An anchor is a tool that hypnotists use for recalling the experience of relaxation, at any time. In this case, I am going to use the anchor of having you make an “OK” sign with your left hand by touching the left index finger to the left thumb tip and pressing for a moment. I will tell you when it is time to make take this action and how you can use it.

After the induction, I am going to give you several suggestions to assist you with the mental game of poker. Hypnosis is a great experience and you will use the creative part of the mind to increase your competitiveness and skills, by simply following these directions. In fact, you don’t even have to try to be hypnotized. Just follow my simple directions and you will experience success.

Induction

Progressive Muscle Relaxation is recommended.

Anchor

In this state of physical and mental relaxation, you have created a perfect state of calmness, relaxation, and control. I want to anchor this experience for you by asking you to continue to relax, but to make that “OK” sign by touching the left index finger to the left thumb. Press hard, but continue to relax the rest of the body and mind. Perfect. Now let the hand fall loose and limp, like the rest of your body, and double the sense of relaxation. Perfect. You now have a tool that you can use anytime you need to experience calm, control, and neutrality at the card table.

Let’s try it again. As you relax, press your finger and thumb together. Experience that state of calmness and control. Now relax, doubling the sensation of relaxation. Perfect. Although it seems simple, over the next day, week, month, or anytime you feel stress, anxiety, or discomfort in any aspect of life, simply touch those two fingers together. Allow yourself to recreate the peace, calm, and control you feel at this moment. It is remarkable how effective this simple tool is and how learning progressive muscle relaxation can help you relax the muscles of the face and body that once showed those tells at the card table.

I am going to count from ten to one. With each number, let your mind and body relax twice as deeply, going into a very deep state of relaxation and learning. If you need to adjust for comfort or swallow, that is perfectly okay. Any noises you hear from outside of the room will not disturb you. In fact, they will simply reinforce your relaxation, allowing you to focus on these lessons.

Ten…Nine…Eight…Seven…Six…Five…Four…Three…Two…One, you are doing well…

The mind is a powerful tool for change. Creating confidence and a winning attitude is essential for any poker player. You have taken the fist step by mastering the technical game of poker. The second step is mastering a winning attitude of confidence, power, and one that attracts success and winning. We achieve in life what we focus on. We hit the goals we steadily aim for and poker is no different than any other endeavor that takes risk and confidence.

Surely you have either experienced a situation where you felt extreme confidence in your decision-making at the card table or a profound, but not cocky, spirit of winning. Recall that experience and visualize yourself as you sat at the table feeling calm, confident, and successful. See yourself as you were in this situation, making the right choices and experiencing this past success. Create a vivid recollection of this event, even feeling the felt of the table under the tips of your fingers and recalling the surroundings that seemed to favor your success. If you are having a difficult time with this, perhaps it is because you are new to the game and have yet to have your own unique experience that you would like to replicate. That is perfectly okay. Just envision an experience you would like to have by feeling the emotions of success coupled with confidence, calm, and emotional detachment. Perfect.

From this visualization, create a deep awareness of the skills necessary to succeed in poker. These are skills you intuitively know that you possess. You know you possess the skill of managing risk and the skill of making decisions that are independent from emotions. Become intuitively aware of how a great poker player can use the skills of muscular relaxation to master the game of cards by controlling the tiny muscles of the face and responding with confidence, rather than emotion, to any situation.

A psychological principle is at work here, as you listen to my voice. That principle is simple. Anything we can construct with our mind, we have the capacity to construct in reality. Therefore, you intuitively know that you have the tools within you that are necessary to succeed. You can easily take these visualizations and lessons to the card table.

Imagine yourself over the next few days and weeks, at the card table. Feel the spirit of confidence you want to exude. Project yourself into the future, bringing these traits to the card table. Perfect. I have no doubt that you, like others who are masters of the game of poker, have the ability to function at a level that recognizes the many facets of poker that you can control. Perfect.

Continue to relax deeply as you dream, drift, and float in and out of higher and lower levels of trance, while I count backwards again. This time I will count from five to one. With each number, continue the learning process and double the sensation of relaxation.

Five…Four….Three…Two…One…

You are dong perfect. Like anyone who is improving in their chosen sport or mental performance, you have mentally reviewed those errors that have kept you from success. But like most, you have probably repeated those errors. This pattern can be broken. You can use the power of the mind to reprogram these automatic patterns of self-defeat by taking a moment to make a decision to take three actions to improve your game.

Perhaps with your conscious mind, you will be able to clearly identify three behaviors you need to change and create an alternative solution. Or, perhaps as you listen to my words, drifting and dreaming, feeling detached and open-minded, you will simply create a movie in your mind of the perfect poker game. You can watch your correct actions and decisions and relearn the process of playing poker by seeing this movie in your mind. You can erase bad habits and simply move through this game from start to finish, using the skills in this session that can be most beneficial to you. Either process is fine. What is important is not how you arrive at the goal, but that you do arrive at the goal. Perfect. With each word I say, create, learn, experience, and empower yourself to move to the position of victory that is within your reach.

Success…Confidence…Calm…Detachment…Intuition…Relaxation…Discipline…Winner…

I will give you another moment to enjoy this experience of hypnosis. Remember, at anytime you need to recall and re-experience the discipline, emotions, or feelings you have created here, you can step up to the card table with confidence and touch those two fingers together to bring yourself immediately to a state of clear-headed decision. This will enable you to draw on the experiences of success you have had in the past.
