🎙️ Episode 121: “Run Good or Run Bad: Poker’s Wild Ride Through 2025”Poker in 2025 had everything: heaters, coolers, scandals, and spreadsheets. In Episode 121 of The Overlay, we break down the highs and lows of the year that reminded everyone why poker is equal parts dream factory and bankroll test.We talk about the post-COVID poker boom and how the game shifted from pure competition to a full-blown experience, highlighted by the WSOP posting its 3rd largest turnout ever. From packed fields to massive prize pools, poker feels like we've flopped top set with the nut flush draw against a pretty dry board but wet enough to get some action from the fish at the table — and then some.The crew digs into standout moments, including the impact of Michael Mizrachi's HOF year, the biggest crash-out of 2025, and why variance still doesn’t care about your feelings. We also rant (politely… kinda) about the new poker tax, and unpack the effects of an NBA / poker cheating scandal that had the whole gambling world buzzing and checking their pockets at their own home games for safety. If you love poker stories, industry debates, WSOP talk, and honest grinder takes from the largest poker market in the Midwest, this episode is for you. Buckle up — 2025 played fast, loose, and occasionally on tilt. ♠️🔥The Overlay a poker podcast ♧♢♡♤If you enjoy our show, please subscribe and leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts.
