Romano has recently begun writing his own blog – Above the Mean – which he updates almost daily with reflections on both poker and non-poker related issues. In some of these entries, Romano has candidly revealed past struggles that were until now unknown to most of his followers. During the conversation, Romano tells Jared about how grinding online for so many hours and in such isolation had at one point turned him into a complete shut-in, both physically and even mentally. Romano has also struggled with severe gambling problems, from rabid sports betting to high-limit casino games, all of which eventually threatened to destroy his bankroll, and his life. Prior to tackling these heavy subjects, Romano and Jared chat a bit about what they thought of the 2012 WSOP Main Event that played out to the end this week. Greg Merson’s tilt-free stoicism is referenced and praised. QuadJacks - Friday, November 2, 2012
