Podcasts about Fedor Holz

In the 881st episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz discuss the controversy out of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit stop in which the third-place finisher actually held the best hand against Maurice Hawkins, who went on to win the tournament for a record-tying 18th gold ring. The crew also dive into the wild tale of Michigan poker player George Jannsen, who last year claimed to have been kidnapped and extorted by the cartel.

Other stories covered include Fedor Holz saying WSOP bans are coming for online cheaters, GGPoker cancelling their $5M GTD tournament on Day 2, Jeremy Ausmus and others capturing Triton Poker titles, Daniel Negreanu taking down a PGT Mixed Game tournament, and the unfortunate passing of poker player Mark Toulouse during a tournament at Texas Card House Dallas.

Angela Jordison was named 2022 GPA Breakout Player of the Year after narrowly missing out on two GPI POY awards. Not only a fierce competitor, and a real joy to watch on the felt, she's a fan favourite and for good reason.  During their interview, Angela and Kara discuss how important it is to have a positive impact on the poker community.  Not one for empty words, Angela recently put her money where her mouth is. She tells the story of what prompted her to spearhead an initiative along with her friend and fellow poker player Jackie Burkhart to send multiple US veterans to play in the WSOP Salute to Warriors tournament.  Speaking about her sometimes surreal journey through 2022, she opened up on how tough it was to give herself proper credit at the time. She talks about her fantastic support system full of people who pushed her to own her success and examines the perils of wrestling with imposter syndrome, even while being held up as ‘one to watch'.  Through their conversation Angela gives valuable insights into what it takes to play your best. They dive into what concrete things made the difference THAT year in particular and how having the freedom to finally focus solely on poker gave her exactly what she needed.  Don't forget to check out our previous episodes with Mustapha Kanit, Xuan Liu, Patrick Leonard, Farah Galfond, Fedor Holz and Greg Merson.

If you follow poker vlogs, then you have no doubt come across The Drawing Dead vlog by Jaman Burton.  Burton, who is one the most influential poker vloggers in the space, brings something completely unique to the table in the form of a poker vlog with graphic novel style illustrations woven in.  And while it may be nice to gain some recognition within the poker community, Burton shares with Kara that it's not all roses. Between the pressures of being an “influencer”, having opponents who may know far more about your game than you'd like or the pressure to always be “on”, it can be a lot to deal with. Still, he recognizes that these are small problems to have in the big picture.   Kara and Jaman go on to discuss the importance family has played in his life. From the gratitude he has for an incredible upbringing to the pride and sense of accomplishment he gets from raising his daughter, family has always been a key component of his life.  Other topics Kara and Jaman cover include quitting smoking, the possibility that we're living in a simulation and how he used to use his charm and persuasiveness for evil as a young man.  Don't forget to check out previous episodes with Greg Merson, Tiffany Michelle, Lon McEachern, Nadya Magnus, Phil Galfond, Jason Koon, Katie Lindsay, Benny Glaser, Maria Ho, Fedor Holz and many more of poker's most fascinating personalities.

One of the more notable names from the ESPN era of the World Series Of Poker is undoubtably Greg Merson.  Merson, who took home $8,531,853 for winning the Main Event in 2012, instantly became a household name within the poker community. Having gotten sober a year prior, his story and accomplishment became an inspiration to many who battled addiction.  But where do you go after winning the Main Event? For Merson, his obsession with becoming the best version of himself motivated him to seek out ways to progress and increase his edge in the game. He shares how hypnotherapy and meditation have been powerful tools in his growth on and off the felt.  Interestingly, even more than a decade after winning the Main Event, he shares how he still gets a sense of euphoria from playing poker and how his focus has now shifted to competing with himself.  However, for all the excitement and achievements he's earned in his poker career, Merson shares how becoming a father, not once but twice, is the greatest accomplishment of his life.   Other topics Kara and Greg touch are playing poker during the pandemic, his relationship with his parents and how he had the most fun at the WSOP this year since winning the Main Event.  Don't forget to check out previous episodes with Tiffany Michelle, Lon McEachern, Nadya Magnus, Phil Galfond, Jason Koon, Katie Lindsay, Benny Glaser, Maria Ho, Fedor Holz and many more of poker's most fascinating personalities. 

This week, we are locked in and zenned out with Luke ‘Slay' Vrabel. The conversation between the lads is a wild ride that starts with the story behind the un-banning of Vrabel from the WSOP and his subsequent cash in the Main Event. David brings up Dan Zack winning WSOP player of the Year and Shaun Deeb's unofficial ‘player of the decade' title before the chat segues to Landon Tice's bet with Pads Leonard that he cannot leave Ballys for an entire year. Vrabel gives his opinion on bets that make someone miserable while Dara points to the tragedy of a young person sacrificing the 23rd year of their life. Next is one of the two big stories of the week - GGPoker's Player Integrity Council banning some cheaters but inviting back others. The lads all weigh in on the make-up of and concept behind the PIC while expressing concerns about GG's integrity, the possible problem arising from personal biases and Fedor Holz's involvement with the Odin solver. Finally, the lads discuss Hustler Casino reneging on their $250,000 guarantee and the aftermath but just as the show is winding down, Vrabel veers the conversation towards the alleged anti-semitism of some high profile poker players, inspiring a brief chat on the nature of internet rabbit-holes and what the community can do. It will come as no surprise that this is one of our longest ever episodes… but it's also one of our most entertaining.

Ben Rolle, known to most of the poker world as Bencb, is one of the greatest online tournament players in the game today. The 33-year-old German was a standout junior soccer player, but turned to online poker after college and grinded his way to the highest stakes available. He has won many millions during his career, most notably chopping the World Championship of Online Poker $100,000 Super High Roller with Fedor Holz for $1.2 million.  Originally an anonymous player, it wasn't until the summer of 2019 that he revealed his identity. Eager to share his knowledge with others, Rolle started Raise Your Edge poker training, and also streams his play on Twitch. Then last year, he was named as an ambassador for Team PokerStars. When he's not playing or teaching, he works with his champion Esports club Acend.  Highlights from this interview include scoring six goals in one game, injuries and ego, going broke three times early on, how a vacation in Sicily changed his game, why you don't want a big score early, grinding up to $5,000 sit-n-go's, showing others how to win, dealing with online cheaters and anonymity, fan culture and poker rankings, accepting the upside of stress, sucking out in a $100k tournament, German techno music, Matthew McConaughey, breathwork, and the literal coin flip for his life.

In this episode of the Heart of Poker Podcast, Kara Scott speaks with long-time friend and colleague Lon McEachern. An absolute poker legend, known as the "Voice of Poker", Lon McEachern has been one half of the commentary team that started providing commentary for the World Series of Poker Main Event in 2003. And for many years Kara has been right there with him as part of the WSOP broadcast team. The two developed a strong working relationship and friendship that shows in this far-ranging discussion. McEachern's voice is burned into the minds of poker players around the world so it's interesting to hear him talking when he's not calling poker action. It's also striking to hear him when he's not playing the straight man to Norman Chad's comic relief. In this episode, McEachern and Scott delve into existential quandaries like the meaning of life and how Kara big-timed Lon the first time they met at the WSOP back in 2008. You know, regular friend stuff. Listen to the newest episode for another fascinating look at the people behind the world's most popular poker faces, and check back in our catalogue for episodes with Fedor Holz, Nadya Magnus, Phil Galfond, Jason Koon, Ebony Kenney, Benny Glaser, Maria Ho and many more of poker's most fascinating personalities.

Outside of big-name players, few people have had such an impact on the growth of poker globally as World Poker Tour President & CEO Adam Pliska.  Pliska, who has now been part of the iconic WPT brand since 2003, is credited as being the driving factor behind the company's expansion into numerous foreign markets around the world and exposing new players to the game through their big-budget, final table productions.  However, for all the accolades, you'd be hard pressed to find a humbler person in the industry. Pliska credits the humility of his parents, and their gratitude for life's simplest things, to his modest outlook.  It's that very gratitude-first mentality that has helped Pliska get through some of the more challenging times in his life, like when his mother lost nearly all her memory and the passing of a young poker player who had sought out his guidance.  Kara and Adam also discuss his non-linear, thematic approach to life and the idea that 20 decisions could shape the entire course of your life. Pliska acknowledges his own tendency towards being too cerebral at times, which can often lead to spiral thinking.  The interview is not all serious though. We learn about Adam's musical side and find out that he co-wrote the WPT theme song and sings to his dogs every morning while feeding them.  Don't forget to check out previous episodes with Nadya Magnus, Phil Galfond, Jason Koon, Ebony Kenney, Benny Glaser, Maria Ho, Fedor Holz and many more of poker's most fascinating personalities.

In a time where No-Limit Holdem still dominates the poker landscape, it's rare to come across a young pro so proficient in mixed games as Benny Glaser.   This is perhaps best demonstrated by Glaser's most recent WSOP results, where he cashed in 5 events (including winning his 4th bracelet in the $10k Razz Championship and placing 2nd in the $25k H.O.R.S.E. event) for a total of $784,243.  But don't let these results fool you into thinking Benny is a one-dimensional poker grinder. As it turns out, he hasn't played online for more than 5 months in order to make room for other interests in his life. Most notably, he's looking to deepen his longtime relationship with music by learning to produce, joining a band and teaching guitar lessons.  Kara and Benny go on to talk about his recent move to Vancouver, his martial arts background and what it means for him to have a positive impact on the world, including the fulfillment he has gotten from teaching both poker and music.  They also touch on what it means to be “poker famous” and protecting one's personal life. As a special treat, Benny frequently turns the questions around on Kara and we get to glean a little insight into her world as their conversation unfolds.  Don't forget to check out previous episodes with Nadya Magnus, Phil Galfond, Jason Koon, Ebony Kenney, Dominik Nitsche, Maria Ho, Fedor Holz and many more of poker's most fascinating personalities.

In case you haven't noticed after 26 episodes, Heart of Poker is about a lot more than just poker. We've had incredible guests from the top of the game share insights into their lives off the felt, including some of their most personal and intimate moments and struggles they've overcome. Enter Xuan Liu. Over a star studded career in poker Xuan has won over $3,000,000, but these days she's just as interested in seeing how poker experience can be applied in other aspects of life. She and Kara discuss the essential skills of being a successful poker player - whether it's aggressiveness, risk-taking, or reacting to a loss - and how they can contribute to success in tons of other parts of life. On that note, they discuss PokerPower, the platform for which Xuan Liu acts as an advisor that runs workshops and classes to empower and inspire women using a poker framework. Xuan grew up in China during the one-child policy, and she shares a fascinating window into her childhood, as well as some tougher times during her parents divorce - which was a complicated thing to navigate in the country at the time. Kara and Xuan have a natural rapport, and both wind up talking honestly about some of the tougher times they've each experienced since the pandemic landed. But there's also plenty of positivity in this episode too, including reminiscing about sailing around the Greek islands sipping Ouzo, and a hopeful look ahead to the future. Don't forget to check out previous Heart of Poker episodes with guests like ​​Fedor Holz, Phil Galfond, Mori Eskandani, Ebony Kenney, Dominik Nitsche, Vanessa Selbst, Maria Ho, and more.

Patrick Leonard is an online superstar. He has collected ​​$13 million in online tournament cashes so far, regularly just crushing online MTT fields. He's no slouch on the felt either, with more than $2.5 million in live tournament cashes. That's a huge amount of money in anyone's book - even if money is ultimately irrelevant and we're all just living in a simulation. That's just one of the pretty out there theories that Patrick and Kara get into on this week's episode of Heart of Poker. Patrick is clearly very much on board with thinking outside the box, which makes him a perfect candidate to answer Kara's special psychological questions. Patrick and Kara are on the same wavelength from the start, bonding over their shared FOMO of not being able to make it to the WSOP this year. They both have lots of interesting thoughts on the psychology behind being a successful poker player, including whether the game attracts marginalized personalities or creates them. They trade lots of stories, from their respective lockdown experiences to some extremely intense and dangerous moments they've both had in the back of cabs. In fact, it turns out Kara and Patrick have a lot in common, which is funny since as far as Kara knows they've never met before in person. That turns out not to be strictly true however, as Kara soon discovers in this episode... Don't forget to also check out the Heart of Poker back catalogue, including episodes with Fedor Holz, Phil Galfond, Mori Eskandani, Jason Koon, Dominik Nitsche, Vanessa Selbst, Maria Ho, and more.

Quite simply, Fedor Holz is one of the best poker players of all time and one of the most emblematic players of poker's modern era. At just 28 years old, Fedor has more than $32,000,000 in live cashes alone. What makes all of this even more remarkable, is that poker is just one string to Fedor's bow. As Kara says in this episode, he's a true modern day Renaissance man and he's a dream guest on Heart of Poker. Kara's set of psychologist-designed questions were originally created to see if two complete strangers could fall in love. She's adapted them a little, but they're basically tailor-made for someone like Fedor, who is so naturally inquisitive, philosophical and self conscious in the best kind of way. As you might expect, poker is just one small part of this episode. Fedor and Kara discuss NFTs and deconstructing the concept of art, the psychology behind helping other people, and the different ways we build communities. Fedor has clearly thought a lot about family and personal relationships, and his own have evolved significantly over time. He shares some of the things he's discovered that work for him with Kara. We do also find time for at least one great poker story, although maybe not one that Fedor wants to remember. It was his most embarrassing moment at a poker table, and it came at a high roller event in Monte Carlo. Fedor Holz is a very familiar name to poker fans, but this is a side to him you certainly don't see at the poker table. Don't forget to check out our previous episodes, including with Ebony Kenney, Phil Galfond, Mori Eskandani, Jason Koon, Dominik Nitsche, Vanessa Selbst, Maria Ho, and more.

On episode #40 of the CardsChat podcast, we have the pleasure of welcoming Fedor Holz. Fedor first made his name as an online tournament crusher, and he now has $10.8 million in career earnings. He then moved more and more into the live realm and high roller scene and has since destroyed it to the tune of almost $33 million in earnings, currently good for 7th place on the all-time money list. Then, he entered another area of the poker world and dominated it too, the tournament playing “retired” businessman, and together with colleagues he created the Pokercode training community. All that and he's still only 27 years old. On today's show we get to know the impressive man behind all of those impressive numbers and poker feats.

This week, Kat Arnsby is locked in and skipping out on work during International Women's Day. The trio discuss Dara's recent blog on the subject of 'Poker Sponsorships' in the age of the content creator. They also analyse the implications of Doug Polk's recent suggestion that the Fedor Holz vs Wiktor 'Limitless' Malinowski heads-up match is staged. The conversation then turns to International Women's Day, what poker sites are doing to promote diversity and inclusion and FLIP founder Daiva Byrne's farcical suggestion that, in recent years, GGPoker is the only site in to put resources into this area.

Fedor Holz has won the WSOP, EPT, and WTP titles and has over $40 million in tournament earnings. When it comes to building a successful poker career, he really knows what he's talking about. A few years ago he was voted #1 online poker player and #1 live poker player in the world.  In this conversation, Fedor shares lots of powerful insights and advice about poker, business, and life. He explains his learning process, the way he gets in the zone when it really matters, how maintains full focus, how to avoid common pitfalls when working with solvers - so much of this is truly valuable. And of course, we also talk about his upcoming HU battle vs Wiktor 'limitless' Malinowski.  I'll share my key takeaways from this episode in my newsletter, so sign up for it on https://www.runchukspodcast.com CONNECT:  Subscribe to this channel: https://bit.ly/runchuks-yt Subscribe to newsletter: https://www.runchukspodcast.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/RunchuksP Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/runchukspoker Coaching: https://bit.ly/bts-coaching   PODCAST INFO:  Podcast Website: https://runchuks.podbean.com Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2XlvTro Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2ECWIAF YouTube playlist: https://bit.ly/podcast-yt   OUTLINE:  00:00:00 Intro 00:01:25 Match against Wiktor 'Iimitless' Malinowski 00:08:49 Mental game 00:16:31 In the zone 00:21:01 New information 00:27:10 How to ask the right question 00:30:56 Ways of learning 00:37:25 The right questions 00:44:45 Beating mid and high stakes 00:48:06 Focus level 00:53:51 Out of the comfort zone 00:58:13 Solver traps 00:59:53 Who is Fedor Holz? 01:05:15 What do you want to do? 01:09:15 Identity 01:13:46 Opportunities 01:26:01 Picking your dreams 01:30:33 I can do anything, but I can't do everything 01:31:37 Current challenges 01:37:57 Nothing is everything 1:42:43 Taking time off 01:47:17 The path is not straight  

Why do the best players reliably outrank the competition? Why are some people so much better at analysis than intuition?  Today, Nick and Wayne are talking with Fedor Holz. Fedor is an unbelievably gifted player. He won his first WSOP bracelet in 2016 and now sits at #1 on the German all-time money list, with life tournament winnings of over $32,500,000. He shifted his focus away from poker in 2019 to develop his start-up, a mindset coaching app called Primed Mind, which makes it easy for people to use the same powerful visualization techniques that have empowered the world's most notable phenoms.  In this episode, Nick begins by immediately asking Fedor a simple question: “How do you navigate the analytical and intuitive plane in balance?” Fedor's answer leads the trio in a number of different directions, including what it really means to have grit, how to process new information in every aspect of life, and how the COVID-19 pandemic forced Fedor to evaluate not just what truly matters, but what stops someone from being truly effective at what they do. Key Takeaways Why the best poker players - and businesspeople - are naturally curious.  Why Fedor had to spend tens of thousands of dollars on protein bars and work with a full-time sports scientist to realize there was no product that could optimize his performance and well-being.  The value of being the person who doesn't jump to conclusions.  How having an overloaded calendar with too many meetings makes it impossible to forge real, authentic connections.

At the beginning of 2017, Steffen Sontheimer close to $500,000 in live cashes and flew under the radar of many in the Poker world. But some seemed to notice the rising talent already: "Predicting the breakout year of Go0se.core! Best player in the game right now.", Fedor Holz wrote on Twitter. Well, Fedor was right. The same year, Steffen cashed for $7.052.324 and destroyed the Poker Masters series in the Aria Casino Las Vegas, when he claimed the Purple Jacket and cashed 4 out of 5 high roller tournaments against the best in the world.
