Our Mission
The word Samadhi [ suh-mah-dee ] is an Indian Sanskrit word referring to the process of joining all aspects of who we are -- physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally -- to attain a state of heightened concentration and awareness. Poker Samadhi is the achievement of this heightened state when playing poker, allowing you to get in, and stay in, the zone. However, as many poker players know, playing the game of poker is like playing the game of life...both are challenging without a guide or mentor to help you along the way.
