Hey Guys!! Sorry for the Leave of Absence. If you've been following the other platforms you know I got hired by Coin Poker so that had taken me away from other duties. However we continue to interview. As summer is coming I figured Id try to get us caught up. So DAILY episodes until Vegas 06/05.We have some big interviews scheduled for this summer!!!

Technically I am Between Two Jobs...When my coach asked what I was going to do now Vegas was over and I didn't hit my goals I thought; Nothing I still have two jobs: Day Job & Poker. It feels like I constantly get pulled between my 9-5 desk job and all the things I do in poker. Between Pokerdox, the first poker anime, Gear of Gamble Clothing Co., and Poker Aint Life Podcast it feels like Poker is taking over. The more time I spend on one feels like I am getting pulled away from the other. So THATS how I chose the name. Yall rock w/ it?I have a few ideas for segments. Content should write itself as people in the poker industry consistently show why they need to find another profession. I think we should help them out!

End of last weeks Podcast. #poker #friends

We wanted to check in with everyone after Vegas and introduce a new game.

We met Jerry in Vegas on a smoke break and turned out to be a friendship that Damion and I will cherish forever. Gerry was on his way to try and get his 100th Vegas win, and he did it!! After Vegas, we stayed in touch and come to find out Gerry has literally 60 years of Poker Stories. He even crushes online to this day. Enjoy the full Interview.

We tried to meet up at the podcast place above the dispensary that Spree had the hookup on. But everyone wanted to play poker so we cancelled. We planned to meet up for dinner at Grand Lux, but Poker players don't eat apparently so we cancelled. Somehow, someway, we found an interview w/ @QueneForee. Its crazy how things just work out sometimes. We had cancelled all content plans for the day and a random Tag Team tournament at the Golden Nugget somehow brought us all together.

Part 2 of the Vegas Recap. We have some big things coming. Stay Tuned.

What is one word to describe our Vegas Experience: Meh! Didn't lose too much but felt like we didn't play enough either. In the future we will separate the partying from the poker and focus solely on the money. Great Content and Great Memories.

Although we are currently at the end of season 2 we wanted to give you guys a sneak peak of some of the interviews upcoming in Season 3. Vegas Adventures

We wanted to Master and Re-release some of our very first episodes as the guests were amazing but we were still learning. So as we get ready for Vegas let's take a look back at one of most popular guests: WSOP Bracelet Winner; Donnell Dais aka @legendary_spree.

You dont want to miss the conclusion of this crazy story. El Jefe probably had as many crazy stories as Spree. Jefe teaches us many valuable lessons. Such as the value of family and investment. Also everyone grows up in different circumstances but you can thrive no matter what your surroundings if you just stay focused.

This week on the podcast, El Jefe @international_jefe201 joins us for a wild discussion. From dice games with rappers to huge baccarat pots to staking TV poker stars, my guy has stories for weeks. You def dont want to miss this. Strap In!

Extremally smart brother out of Detroit by the name of Marcus Norman discusses his #wsop ring win with the gang and talks about the Tournament of Champions quickly approaching. Marcus has been a professionally backed #poker player since the Full Tilt and 2 + 2 days and his story is just now coming to light. If accolades & shark wisdom is what you've been waiting for then this is the episode is for you. Enjoy!!

From his stories in Mexico to his stories about growing up in LA, @fish_poker shares his hilarious but heartfelt story. #poker #pokerlife

Amazing story this week on the podcast where we have Barz Banga an upcoming rapper who raps about Poker. Barz did a 17 year bid for accessory to murder.
