This week, Carlos Welch is locked in and blinging out proceedings with his brand new WSOP bracelet! Carlos joins David and Dara as the trio discuss the news, gossip and scandals of the day. First in the news is of course Carlos's victory in the $888 Crazy Eights WSOP Events few days ago for $125,000. Carlos summarises the key points of the tournament before telling the lads about his rags to riches story. The topic then begrudgingly switches to the story of Poker's Icarus Landon Tice and his concession to Bill Perkins in their much hyped Heads-Up Challenge. Doug Polk's return to the content streets is discussed as David wonders if Doug calling out Daniel Negreanu's losing streak was the ultimate jinx!

David's rant this week is about PokerGO and their itchy copyrite claim trigger finger which he reveals effected past Chip Race Strategy Videos. The lads offer their takes on the pettiness of PokerGO who seem to be intimidating smaller content creators and disregarding fair use. The final topic is the news that Mason Malmuth has sold the 2+2 Forums and Carlos gives us the inside track on how that means the discontinuation of the magazine and potentially other wings of the business.

The full unedited interview of Olivier Busquet about his MMA fight and poker in general.

**TimeStamps Below** The time has finally come for me to have Olivier Busquet on the podcast. We will be discussing his run as the HUSNG end boss (is he still the end boss of that format??), the poker world in general, branching out to commentating on ESPN, traveling, pizza, wood tables, the difference between cats and dogs, and of course his recent MMA fight that had the poker world buzzing. (3 of these things we might not actually be discussing but idk if anyone actually pays attention to these).  I recently wrote about the fight that Olivier had with JC and you can watch the fight if you haven't had a chance to see it yet  http://onepokerlife.com/six-figure-fight/ **TimeStamps** 7:54 FIGHT preparation / STEROIDS allegations 25:19 motivation to FIGHT 55:47 BREAKING NEWS - FIGHT 2.0 1:22:29 poker career 1:24:17 WSOP lifestyle 1:30:35 BOTS / dreammachines in onlinepoker 2:04:04 GPL 2:16:48 "everyone is full of s***" / daily struggles 2:22:42 LOVING (life) 2:53:42 future plans I will be writing takeaways/recaps of each podcast and all sorts of other different poker related things on my website: http://www.onepokerlife.com

Alex and Andrew talk to Olivier Busquet about his MMA fight, prop betting and the GPL, then are joined by PTP contributor Steve Ruddock for a debate about Mike Dentale's alleged collusion scandal.

On Thursday, April 21st, 2016 Olivier Busquet and JC Alvarado touched gloves in the Octagon at Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas, NV.  The fight was the culmination of 6-months of intense training, and a $270k purse was up for grabs.  Over 100 spectators paid a $20 entry fee, which was all donated to the One Drop charity, and thousands more watched online. Most had a financial interest in the fight, with over $1,000,000 in side action was rumored to have been wagered.  The fight was set for four 5-mintue rounds, with a fifth to be added if it ended at 2-2.  The judges were not needed, as the fight was called after just 3 rounds. Olivier had bloodied up JC badly in the third, and it was agreed that it was no longer safe for him to continue.  Olivier opened as the underdog, but after a dominant performance had his hand raised as the winner.  In the week's episode Olivier joins us and shares his thoughts on the experience.

In part 1 of our interview with Olivier Busquet, we covered an incident that sparked his motivation to become the best HUSNG player in the world, how he started to learn deep poker theory and what he's done to improve his tilt issues. In part 2 we dive into his strategies for dealing with downswings and discuss his upcoming high-stakes MMA prop bet vs. J.C. Alvarado. You'll also learn: • How a properly timed nap can boost your study efforts. • How to recognize when you're playing bad so you can quit and reset. • If you should drop down in stakes when on a downswing. • How Olivier found himself fighting another pro in an MMA match for six figures. • How Olivier is learning to develop the discipline that eludes most poker players.

Olivier “livb112” Busquet is known as one of the most successful heads up SNG players in online poker history. In recent years, he has branched out to live MTTs, where he has quickly racked up $6,857,078 in earnings. Olivier's passion for greatness was sparked when he was berated for his losing HUSNG SharkScope graph early in his poker career. A desire to get that graph even quickly transformed into making the games his full-time grind and he could be found near the top of the HUSNG profit leaderboards for many years after. Olivier has been very public about his issues with tilt, most notably his epic chat blow-ups, and in this interview we take a deep dive into how he's worked through fixing them. In this week's episode you'll learn: • Whether having a few drinks to calm your nerves helps or hurts your game? • Why you should never berate the weak players in your game, especially by pointing out their losses. • How Olivier made the shift from using “brute force” to win to gaining a deeper theoretical understanding of the game, and why everyone needs to make that change if they want to stay competitive in today's games. • Why a serious study practice is essential if you wish to make a living at poker. • How your circle of poker friends is quickly becoming an important factor in having an edge in poker. • Why Olivier self-banned his online poker chat. • Why Olivier believes being mentally strong is a requirement to be a long-term winner.
