The Power of Positive Thing

Toronto, Canada's Evan Jarvis, who does a bit of poker and life coaching through Gripsed.com, is a firm believer in the power of positive thinking and visualization.

So when he raised it up with the {8-Spades}{7-Spades} and got one caller, he pictured in his mind a board of {4-}{5-}{6-}. It came {10-}{6-}{5-} and he bet and called a raise. The {4-} turn made his vision a reality, and he got both a check-raise and a river bet paid off by a set of sixes.

Then, just as he was explaining what happened, he defended the big blind with the {6-Spades}{2-Spades}, made another straight and got paid again by the same player making two pair. Now Jarvis has the early lead, a whipping boy across the table, and he's likely starting to visualize a big bag of chips in his possession at the end of the night.
