Jeff Gross sits down with long-time friend Brent "Buffalo" Hanks to discuss his incredible journey from a fifth and sixth-grade school teacher in rural New York to becoming a WSOP bracelet winner and the CEO of PokerGO. Brent shares unbelievable stories from his early days, including moving to Las Vegas and taking down the Sunday Million while sleeping on an air mattress , and the rollercoaster of getting staked for live events by Jason Mercier. The two dive deep into the current landscape of the poker industry, the evolution of High Stakes Poker lineups , the monumental WSOP and ESPN broadcasting deal featuring Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions , and the highly anticipated return of the National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Brent's authentic, gamer-at-heart energy shines as he reflects on his passion for the game, invaluable leadership lessons, and why poker desperately needs to re-embrace its gambling roots.

Transcript:Sv: Ljuset från kasinots kristallkronor spelade över det gröna filtbordet, där pokerchipsen klirrade som en tyst melodi.En: The light from the casino's crystal chandeliers played over the green felt table, where the poker chips clinked like a silent melody.Sv: Det var vår i Stockholm, och luften utanför var mild och frisk.En: It was spring in Stockholm, and the air outside was mild and fresh.Sv: Inuti det mörkt belysta kasinot var atmosfären laddad med förväntan och intensitet.En: Inside the dimly lit casino, the atmosphere was charged with expectation and intensity.Sv: Erik satt vid pokerbordet, hans blick fokuserad och säker.En: Erik sat at the poker table, his gaze focused and assured.Sv: Trots sin brist på erfarenhet i höginsats poker, hade han en stark övertygelse.En: Despite his lack of experience in high-stakes poker, he had a strong conviction.Sv: Han behövde pengarna för sin startup, en spännande teknologisk idé som han och Lena länge arbetat på.En: He needed the money for his startup, an exciting technological idea that he and Lena had been working on for a long time.Sv: Lena stod vid hans sida, ett äkta leende av uppmuntran på läpparna.En: Lena stood by his side, a genuine encouraging smile on her lips.Sv: Mittemot Erik satt Martin, en äldre och mer erfaren spelare.En: Opposite Erik sat Martin, an older and more experienced player.Sv: Martin hade ett förnämt lugn över sig, han hade sett många som Erik komma och gå.En: Martin had a distinguished calm about him, he had seen many like Erik come and go.Sv: Hans mörka ögon verkade alltid kunna genomskåda Erik, läsa hans tankar innan han ens själv visste vad han tänkte.En: His dark eyes always seemed to be able to see through Erik, reading his thoughts before he even knew what he was thinking himself.Sv: Spänningen var påtaglig i rummet.En: The tension in the room was palpable.Sv: Erik visste att det var dags att ta beslut.En: Erik knew it was time to make a decision.Sv: Spela det säkert, eller våga?En: Play it safe, or take a risk?Sv: Rent instinktivt anade han att det här var hans ögonblick att riskera.En: Instinctively, he sensed that this was his moment to take a chance.Sv: Lena lutade sig fram och viskade, "Tro på dig själv, Erik.En: Lena leaned forward and whispered, "Believe in yourself, Erik.Sv: Vi klarar det här."En: We can do this."Sv: Hand efter hand spelades ut, och Erik följde sin magkänsla.En: Hand after hand was played, and Erik followed his gut feeling.Sv: Han vågade bluffa när det behövdes, lade sig when necessary, och lyssnade till Lenas rappa strategiska råd.En: He dared to bluff when needed, folded when necessary, and listened to Lena's sharp strategic advice.Sv: Men allt ledde fram till den sista handen.En: But everything led up to the final hand.Sv: Med bara några marker kvar, fann Erik sig öga mot öga med Martin.En: With just a few chips left, Erik found himself face to face with Martin.Sv: Kortleken delades ut.En: The deck was dealt.Sv: Erik sneglade på sina kort – ett par kungar.En: Erik glanced at his cards—a pair of kings.Sv: Hans hjärta bultade snabbt, och han visste vad han måste göra.En: His heart beat rapidly, and he knew what he had to do.Sv: Han samlade alla sina marker och sköt dem mot mitten av bordet.En: He gathered all his chips and pushed them to the center of the table.Sv: Alla runt omkring tystnade, och spänningen nådde sin höjdpunkt.En: Everyone around fell silent, and the tension reached its peak.Sv: Martin rynkade pannan, hans ögon noga studerande Erik.En: Martin frowned, his eyes carefully studying Erik.Sv: Kanske försökte han läsa Erik, men denna gång var Erik besluten.En: Perhaps he was trying to read Erik, but this time Erik was determined.Sv: Erik höll andan när Martin till slut gjorde sitt val.En: Erik held his breath as Martin finally made his choice.Sv: Martin såg på sina kort igen och sedan på Erik, sedan lämnade han sin hand.En: Martin looked at his cards again and then at Erik, then folded his hand.Sv: "Ett modigt lyckoslag," sade Martin med en liten beundran i sitt röst.En: "A bold stroke of luck," said Martin with a hint of admiration in his voice.Sv: Erik hade vunnit.En: Erik had won.Sv: Han andades ut, ett brett leende spridande sig över hans ansikte.En: He breathed out, a broad smile spreading across his face.Sv: Lena kramade om honom och de båda skrattade tillsammans – det var möjligt!En: Lena hugged him and they both laughed together—it was possible!Sv: Pengarna var inte bara en vinst utan en ny början.En: The money was not just a win but a new beginning.Sv: Den kvällen, när Erik lämnade kasinot, kände han en nyvunnen säkerhet i sig själv.En: That evening, when Erik left the casino, he felt a newfound confidence in himself.Sv: Vårkvällen kändes lättare än han någonsin känt tidigare.En: The spring evening felt lighter than he had ever felt before.Sv: Han insåg vikten av risker, om de togs strategiskt, kunde de leda till stora framgångar, både vid pokerbordet och i livet.En: He realized the importance of taking risks, if taken strategically, they could lead to great successes, both at the poker table and in life.

In episode 68 of the podcast, we sit down with high-stakes tournament pro Sam Greenwood, creator of the popular Substack "Punt of the Day" where he publicly dissects his biggest mistakes. In this deep 3-hour conversation, we explore the evolution of poker strategy, the mental game of high-stakes competition, and the challenge of building a sustainable life around professional poker. We chat about why documenting mistakes is more valuable than celebrating wins, how the solver revolution transformed tournament strategy and separated natural skillsets, the reality of risk management and the costly lessons from COVID-era online poker, what separates elite players at Triton-level competition beyond pure theory, managing performance under pressure across grueling live poker stops, and redefining success from "best in the world" to sustainable excellence with family and balance.

Hustler Casino Live's Million Dollar Game did exactly what it says and produced many million dollar pots! Tom Dwan and Santhosh Suvarna start this hand with premium pocket pairs and it looks likely that Suvarna will lose a massive one. However, a favorable runout for Suvarna sees him end with quads – the super nuts! Is Tom Dwan still the G.O.A.T and will he correctly check back, or will Suvarna find the perfect line to stack Dwan?! Usually when you flop a hand like top set on a very dry board and your opponents decide to bet into you, it is often a good strategy to slowplay since it is likely they don't have a strong hand. This is even more the case against a loose splashy opponent who likes to double barrel and will take the opportunity to bluff more than usual.. It also helps protect your calling range and stops you being exploited as calling a bet doesn't necessarily always mean that you have a medium to weak hand. Tom Dwan also known as durrrr from his online days is a 39 year old American professional poker player. He is a favorite poker player for many around the world as they would watch him battle in the highest stakes cash games on Full Tilt Poker before poker's Black Friday hit.

Santhosh Suvarna doesn't 4-bet with pocket queens and cold calls from the small blind. Keating calls with his suited one gapper and the three poker players head to the flop. Flop – Qc 8d 2s:Suvarna flops the nuts with top set and starts with a check. Keating checks his six-high with a backdoor straight draw and backdoor flush draw before Dwan places out a continuation bet of $70,000 with his overpair. Suvarna smooth calls with his set of queens and Keating folds. Turn – 5h:The nuts stay the same on the five of hearts turn and Suvarna checks once more. Dwan elects to fire a second barrel of $165,000, perhaps hoping to get value from Suvarna if he has top pair. With the nuts, Suvarna calls again. River – Qs:The final queen in the deck arrives on the river and Suvarna ends up with quads. Suvarna checks for the last time and Dwan has to decide whether to bet or check his cowboys back. Will Dwan correctly check it back and save himself some money, or will he value own himself and lose a huge pot to Suvarna's four of a kind?

Peeling back and looking down at pocket aces in a high stakes cash game is the dream of every poker player! Jennifer Tilly was fortunate enough to get the pocket rockets during a cash game on PokerGO's No Gamble, No Future. After squeezing it preflop and getting two callers, Tilly decides to slowplay her hand. It seems to work out perfectly as Pink shoves the turn with just a straight draw. But will Tilly think Pink's all in for a huge amount is an extremely strong hand and make a terrible hero fold or will she win a huge pot and help answer the question: Why did Jennifer Tilly tip $200? When playing poker cash games or tournaments, it is important to protect your check-calling range. This means that when you check and call a bet, you should not only have medium-strength hands or draws. You should also include some very strong hands into your check-calling range, along with a few floats that you plan to turn into bluffs on certain runouts. By protecting your check-calling range, your opponents are left uncertain about the strength of your hand. As a result, it becomes much harder for them to exploit you by double barreling and forcing you to fold medium-strength hands when they assume you only check-raise with strong hands and check-call with weak ones. Jennifer Tilly is a poker player from America and has over $1,000,000 in live poker tournament earnings. Tilly has 1 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, which came during the 2005 series where she won the $1,000 buy in Ladies Only event for $158,335. Tilly has also had a career as a Hollywood actor, having featured in movies and TV such as Chucky, Family Guy, and Bullets Over Broadway. She has also played on many live poker streams such as Poker After Dark, No Gamble No Future, and High Stakes Poker. Tilly married another popular poker player – Phil Laak in 2004. Since 2009, she has played over 112 times on live streamed poker cash games and has lost more than $1,000,000. Mark Ioennelli ‘Pink' is an amateur poker player from the U.S.A. Ioenelli is also the lead singer of the progressive metal band ‘Pterodactyl King'. Since 2022, he has played over 23 times on live streamed poker cash games and has won over $360,000. This hand is from Season 7 of No Gamble, No Future, presented by PokerStars. The episode was a cash game with blinds of $50/$100. It featured Jennifer Tilly, Alex Aqel, Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat', Randy Sadler ‘3Coin', Luiz Rizental ‘Brazil God', Pink, Freddy Hamad, and Pedro Velasco. No Gamble, No Future is an American poker television program that airs on PokerGO, and premiered on August 1, 2022. The poker show provides cash game focused entertainment with a variety of stakes and poker players. It has featured players such as Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat', Andrew Robl ‘good2cu', Eric Persson, Patrick Antonius ‘The Finn', Matt Berkey, Nik Airball, Rampage Poker, Wolfgang Poker, and Daniel Negreanu ‘DNegs' ‘KidPoker'. This episode from season 7 featured Phil Hellmuth, Joe Stapleton, Nick Wright & Jennifer Tilly. Preflop:With the $200 straddle on, Pedro Velasco raises to $500 from the lojack with KTo and Pink calls out of the cutoff with T9o. Alex Aqel calls on the button holding QJ of diamonds, which is 40% of a royal flush, and 3Coin calls from the small blind with J9o. Jennifer Tilly peels back pocket aces in the big blind and chooses to 3-bet to $4,000. Velasco and 3Coin fold, but Pink and Alex call to see a flop. Flop – 8h 7d 2c:With the nut overpair in the form of pocket rockets, Tilly decides not to continuation bet as she checks. Pink, with an open ended straight draw, bets $6,000 and Alex folds, despite having backdoor straight and flush possibilities. Tilly calls with her disguised pair of aces and the two poker players head to the turn. Turn – 3h:A blank three of hearts comes on the turn and Tilly checks again. Pink with just ten-high, jams all in for $17,775. Will Tilly think Pink has two pair or a set and laydown her pocket aces, or will she make the right call and be a huge favorite going to the river?

Playing in a cash game on your own live stream might be something most people would avoid. But Ryan Feldman, CEO of Hustler Casino Live, is not like most as he loves to get in there and battle! In this high stakes poker cash game, he steps out from behind the cameras and into the spotlight, facing none other than poker sensation Tom ‘durrrr' Dwan. In this poker hand, Feldman bets the river with top pair and Dwan is on the verge of calling that he even shows his cards to the entire table! But will Feldman give something away that allows Dwan to make the correct fold or will this be a huge error by Tom Dwan? When you're playing against weaker, less game theory optimal (GTO) studied opponents in small or mid stakes live cash games, you'll often see betting lines that poker solvers simply do not recommend. A common example is when someone leads the flop or turn from out of position for an unusually small sizing. These tiny donk bets tend to come from a very polarized range, usually representing either a strong made hand or a weak, marginal holding that they're unsure on how to play.Your goal is to figure out which end of their range this small bet falls into. If it's weak, raising will win you the pot immediately. If it's strong, you can play cautiously or value raise thinner, knowing they will not fold. Once you recognize these huge leaks in your opponents’ games, exploiting these non GTO tendencies becomes straightforward and extremely profitable. Tom Dwan also known as durrrr from his online days is a 39 year old American professional poker player. He is a favorite poker player for many around the world as they would watch him battle in the highest stakes cash games on Full Tilt Poker before poker's Black Friday hit. Dwan is known for his fearless style and crazy bluffs. He was a regular on Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker. Today, Durrrr is mostly known to play in high stakes private games in Asia. Durrrr is often seen on the Triton poker tour playing in the largest buy-in poker tournaments in the world. Dwan currently has over $6,900,000 in live poker tournament earnings which puts him in the top 300 on the all time money list. Since 2007, Tom has played over 217 live streamed poker cash games and has won more than $4,000,000. Ryan Feldman is an American amateur poker player with over $170,000 in live poker tournament earnings. He is the owner and producer of the Hustler Casino Live Stream. Before that, he worked as a producer for another poker live stream – Live At The Bike from 2016 to 2019. Hustler Casino Live is a full-scale, high value poker production. Close to a million dollars was spent transforming the casino's high limit poker room, the Crystal Room, into the set of this new state of the art live poker show. Some of the most notable poker players to have appeared on the show are Phil Ivey ‘The Tiger Woods of Poker' ‘RaiseOnce', Tom Dwan 'durrrr', Phil Hellmuth ‘The Poker Brat', Chris Moneymaker, Doug Polk ‘WCGRider, Garrett Adelstein ‘Gman', Tony Guoga ‘Tony G' and many more. Preflop:From under the gun, Ryan Feldman raises to $1,200 with Q9 of hearts as Tom Dwan calls out of the cutoff holding pocket tens, and Peter calls on the button with 43 of clubs. Steve looks down at AK of hearts and chooses to 3-bet and squeezes to $6,400 from the big blind. Feldman calls, Dwan calls with his pocket pair, and Peter comes along with his low suited connector. Flop – Qc 8s 4s:Steve is first to act and elects not to continuation bet with his big slick, since the pot is multi-way and he only has two overcards and a backdoor straight draw. Feldman currently has the best hand, having flopped top pair with a backdoor straight draw of his own. Feldman checks before Dwan checks as well with his pair of tens, and Peter opts to check behind with bottom pair and a backdoor flush draw. Turn – Jd:Steve, Feldman, and Dwan pick up straight draws on the jack of diamonds turn. Steve bets the minimum of $400 with his gutshot to broadway and is immediately raised to $15,000 by Feldman with a pair of queens. Dwan cold calls the raise, which forces Peter and Steve to fold, leaving Feldman and Dwan to go heads-up to the river. River – 5h:With just one pair, Feldman bets $32,000 on the five of hearts river. Will Feldman be able to get Dwan to make the incorrect hero call with a pair of tens, or will Dwan correctly read the situation and toss his cards into the muck? Stay tuned to the end of this poker video to see what happens!
