Dead Money w/ Dan Arfin

Played a session at the Wynn, and then on a whim went out for some more with a late night session at the Aria as I continue to look to break the curse at by far my most dreaded poker room.

The opposition continues to have X-Ray vision as I helplessly crawl back to the Aria in desperate hopes of redemption

Today we get on other side of the table and hear from a veteran poker dealer. As a former dealer himself, Bruce and Dan discuss widely varying topics and stories ranging from players who got really angry at them, to how to deal with players watching porno at the table, to advising other poker players on how to get girls.

This may have been the biggest whale I've ever played with. If not, certainly the biggest in a long long time. Other hand history highlights as well.

In this new era of poker, there are a whole lot less cash game pros in their 20s grinding the high limit scene than there once was. Many of them have moved on, or, like me, have just grown older.

But John Arndt is among the few younger pro players that are here now. As he and Dan go back and forth on varying war stories and poker ideas, John discusses how it all came to be for him, and advises other aspiring players on how to move up in stakes.

Lately I can't sleep and it's been a struggle to find motivation to play (once again). Hmm maybe I just need a woman. Also some hand histories from the past week at the Bellagio 2/5. Barely got out of my house to do it and played pretty terribly.

As the second honorary guest on the Dead Money podcast, Veteran poker pro Brent Jenkins and I blaze up as we discuss whether or not Brent's play is that of a LAG, and share war stories in a 1 on 1 therapy session of what drives us fucking crazy. As we try and tolerate the entitled jerkoffs who inadvertently try to ruin our poker playing experience each and every day--one way or another

The 2025 WSOP is finally winding down, but not before some extra dramatic nonsense from European pro Will Kassouf. He has since been banned for one year because of his relentless antics, and rightfully so.

As the 2025 WSOP drags on, enjoy a few more stories of what goes on in the entitled minds of bimbos--I mean people who play poker
