Podcast appearances and mentions of Greg Merson

You may already know quite a bit about Johnnie Moreno AKA ‘Johnnie Vibes' from his popular vlogs and videos, but in this episode of The Heart of Poker podcast, he dives even deeper into life's big questions with host Kara Scott. The two walk back through Johnnie's personal history with the game of poker and how his incredibly tight knit family group has been such a huge source of joy and support for him throughout his career. He has a deep curiosity about life and loves to throw himself into new things, to push his own boundaries and learn new skills. As one of the big content creators in the poker space, Johnnie is well positioned for a discussion with Kara on how the poker media is changing right now, and not always for the good. They discuss how living and working in such a public way is both a privilege and a responsibility and they evaluate how to find balance, including figuring out what is his ‘north star' in life.

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.

With 4 WSOP final tables under her belt already, Brazilian poker pro and streamer Vivian Saliba is a force to be reckoned with at the PLO and NLHE tables.  The 888poker Ambassador's drive to succeed in poker was actually born out of necessity. At just 18 years old, while her family was contending with financial difficulties, a young Vivian played poker to put herself through college and pay her bills. Failure was not an option for her.  With that kind of grounding in the game, it's no wonder she places so much value on hard work. As she sits down with Kara to talk about the drivers for her success and where she wants to go next, the two touch on topics such as making the world a better place, the benefits of constantly evolving into a better version of yourself, aging and learning all that life has to offer. Kara and Vivian then go on to discuss a recent snowboarding trip, which included both Vivian's most terrifying moment and one of her most embarrassing!   Check out earlier episodes of The Heart of Poker with guests such as Benny Glaser, Greg Merson, Katie Lindsay, Adam Pliska and Nadya Magnus.

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. 

Bernard Lee chats with 2012 WSOP ME Champ Greg Merson.  

Bernard Lee chats with 2012 WSOP ME Champ Greg Merson.  

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.

Jeremy Ausmus went into the final table of the 2012 World Series of Poker main event as the shortest stack, but managed to navigate his way to fifth-place finish worth $2.15 million. The Colorado-native may have been a relative unknown to the home audience at the time, but he had already spent years establishing himself as a respected cash game pro in Las Vegas. In the time since, the husband and father of two has split time between his usual daily cash game grind at Bellagio and the occasional tournament. Ausmus has also notched a few wins at the Venetian, and even has a WSOP bracelet, taking down a pot-limit Omaha event in Europe back in 2013. In total, the 38-year-old has amassed more than $5.15 million in live tournament earnings. Highlights from this interview include residual hair product, the flat part of Colorado, being an outdoor-indoor kid, paying bills by building cabinets, an affinity for spreadsheets, putting down roots in Vegas, having six-figures locked up online, getting annihilated in fantasy football bets, learning ICM in the NICU, being a slow deep thinker, a generous Greg Merson freeroll, why list manipulation is bad for poker, Phil Ivey's Punchout, and the greatness of a BJ burger.

Hurricane Jeff Romano openly shares his past issues with degenerate gambling and the heavy losses that followed, plus how online poker had made him an anti-social shut-in.   Right click save as to download Subscribe in a readerSubscribe with itunes Subscribe to QuadJacks » The Mental Game by Email   Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, and one of the remaining American online pros to still grind in his native country after Black Friday, Jeff Romano is no stranger to QuadJacks, with all of his WCOOP commentary, but this is the first time he appears on The Mental Game with Jared Tendler. Romano has recently begun writing his own blog – Above the Mean – which he updates almost daily with reflections on both poker and non-poker related issues. In some of these entries, Romano has candidly revealed past struggles that were until now unknown to most of his followers. During the conversation, Romano tells Jared about how grinding online for so many hours and in such isolation had at one point turned him into a complete shut-in, both physically and even mentally. Romano has also struggled with severe gambling problems, from rabid sports betting to high-limit casino games, all of which eventually threatened to destroy his bankroll, and his life. Prior to tackling these heavy subjects, Romano and Jared chat a bit about what they thought of the 2012 WSOP Main Event that played out to the end this week. Greg Merson’s tilt-free stoicism is referenced and praised. QuadJacks - Friday, November 2, 2012
