This week I’m sitting down with Niels Herregodts, the mastermind and founder behind GTO Lab and someone who’s deep in the trenches of poker security. We’re talking about the biggest threats in online poker—collusion, bots, and ghosting—and how Niels is crafting the tools to fight back. It’s not just about catching cheaters though, we’re diving into high-level ICM strategy and how it can be the game-changer for serious tournament grinders.

The discussion gets intense—think Ghostbusters, but for poker scumbags. We even explore the wild idea of a cheaters-only poker pool where they unknowingly screw each other over. Yeah, it’s that kind of episode. But it’s not all about calling out the villains. Niels shares insights into building GTO Lab, where some of the sharpest minds in poker are creating cutting-edge tools for players who want to win smarter, not just harder.

If you’re serious about poker or just curious about what goes on behind the scenes in the high-stakes world, you don’t want to miss this. Let’s learn, crush, and put cheaters in their place together. And hey, if you’ve ever dreamed of leveling up your poker game, this podcast has got something here for you.
