In this episode, we sit down with DGAF — the man behind one of LA’s most legendary poker lineups — and unpack the real story behind the chips. From learning five-card draw at age 7 to losing it all (twice) to building a daily 5/5/10 at Hustler, this is a story of resilience, regret, and rebuilding. 💬 We talk:– Why being “good for the game” beats being the best– Going broke even while winning– How to host games that actually last– And the mental traps most poker pros never escape This is not a strategy episode. It’s a story episode.

She had never played at that level before. She barely knew what "blockers" were. But she knew how to win. This episode is what happens when a self-made genius discovers poker. She quit tech and moved to Montana to “retire”… then found poker. She studied poker the way she studied chess—obsessively. She put up $25,000 against the best players in the world just to learn. And within months, she was cashing for millions in tournaments and re-inventing the tools the pros use.
