This week I sit down with Blake Eastman from The Nonverbal Group, who's analyzed over 550,000 poker player blinks and is probably the world's top expert on human behavior. Most of what people think about reading tells is complete BS - Blake breaks down what actually works, why your "gut reads" are probably wrong, and how trying to hide tells often makes you more readable.We go deep into how different cultures communicate, why First World social dynamics are kind of messed up, and even a tell he caught on me in mixed games (fixing that one). His insights on behavior aren't just about poker - he's worked with major CEOs, can predict when relationships will fail, and understands how people tick in a way that's actually mind-blowing.One of my favorite parts was breaking down why people think they're good at reading others but are actually terrible at it. Also got into some fascinating stuff about how writing daily and understanding social patterns can transform your life.

Got my Hustler nemesis @MarianoPoker in the JUNGLE today. This guy went from delivering pizzas to running PURE EVIL BLUFFS against me for 50k+ (still thinking about that hand bro). Now he's got 163k YouTube subs and is playing in games with 800k pots... pretty nuts.
We're getting into how to BUILD your way into the biggest games, why being charming > GTO (usually), and Mariano's secret weapon - bringing that Latin smoothness to the table (there's a reason why he's called the KING of Argentina). He walks us through getting OWNED by Dennis the Menace and some twilight zone hands that'll make your head spin.
BONUS: Mariano tries to be humble about outplaying me but I make him talk proper trash. Can't let these young guns get too respectful.
For aspiring crushers, content creators, and anyone trying to win the game of life - this episode shows how poker skills can unlock doors you didn't even know existed. Even if those doors lead to forming a punk band in LA.
Watch to see how deep the rabbit hole goes... or just to hear Mariano finally admit he owned my soul in that bluff spot.
Ever wonder how a pizza delivery guy becomes a poker sensation AND starts a band? This is the episode for you. The magic is real folks!
