3 Key Points
- Streaming on Twitch as a poker player is harder than it looks! Marle talks about the struggles of entertaining and still trying to play well but inevitably making more mistakes. Streaming is also energy draining for introverts because of the high-intensity interactions with a live audience.
- Therapy can help with unblocking your creativity or keeping it flowing. Marle shares that seeing a therapist recently has been helpful in working through anxiety and perfectionism to access her creative flow more readily.
- If you’re just getting started with creating content, go with what YOU find entertaining! Don’t worry too much about the editing or the cameras or the lighting. Marle says your idea is the most important part of the creative process, so don’t worry about having a plan. Take your idea and just start making content. You’ll learn and grow along the way.

About the Author Elliot Roe
Hi, I'm Elliot Roe... And I Help Poker Players Squeeze Every Ounce Of EV From Their Poker Skills and Abilities. Over 7500 poker players have downloaded my Mindset MP3s to boost their focus on the table and to relax and recover post-session. I have personally worked with hundreds more on mastering their emotions and the tabling and developing the “Pro-Athlete Mindset” needed to be successful into today’s games. Creating a strong poker mindset has been the “secret weapon” of the high stakes elite for years now, and I started this site to bring that edge to any player willing to work on that area of their game.
