#201 Jimmy Fricke: The Blissful Pursuit of MTTs, Mixed-Games, and Business Building Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

Today’s guest on Chasing Poker Greatness is a blast from the past… Jimmy “Gobboboy” Fricke.
Sometimes when you don't hear a poker player’s name for a while in poker media, you can’t help but wonder “What happened to them?” with the typical follow-up thought being, “I really hope they’re okay”.
In today’s show you’ll be happy to learn that not only is Jimmy okay, but he’s thriving in a world totally outside of poker which, to those of us who have felt locked inside the game with no way out, is a massive, massive accomplishment.
Back in 2006, Jimmy burst into the poker limelight after a scorching hot run on the online felt, and capped off his torrid run with a 2nd place finish in January at the 2007 Aussie Millions main event for a $795,000 score.
Incredibly, Jimmy was only 19 years old.
A year and a half later, he’d take down the $5k Bellagio Cup IV for another $443k score.
And as Jimmy’s MTT career faded into the background over the next few years, he discovered a new love:
Mixed games.
It was in that arena that he followed his bliss, plied his trade, and paid his way through life over the next decade until his eventual pivot out of the world of poker and into the world of business.
As a personal aside, in our time together, I found Jimmy to be a gracious, humble, and extremely generous human being and I feel honored to have gotten the opportunity to sit down and learn more about his poker journey.
Now, without any further ado, I bring to you an OG of online poker and longtime poker professional… the one and only Jimmy Fricke.

#200 Shannon Shorr: Top Tournament Crusher Year In and Year Out (For Well Over a Decade) Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

Today’s guest on CPG is one of the premiere live & online poker tournament players in the world (With over 9.3 million in live MTT cashes), Shannon Shorr.
It makes sense that Shannon would be special guest number 200 because his first CPG appearance is still, to this day, one of the top-3 most listened to episodes in CPG history. If you haven’t yet checked that one out, I highly suggest hitting the back catalog directly after today’s show.
In my experience with Shannon, he’s a model of thoughtfulness, consistency, humility, and (Maybe the most important attribute of professional poker players) determination. He’s been on this ride for almost two decades with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
In today’s show with the great Shannon Shorr, we’re gonna dive deep into how painful the life of a traveling professional poker player can be, Shannon’s experience being a proud new papa, how easy it is to get frustrated when you’re on the grind even when things are seemingly going well, and much, MUCH more!
So now, without any further ado, I bring to you one of the very best poker players in the world… the one and only Shannon Shorr.

#198 Brandon Shack-Harris: Two-Time WSOP Gold Bracelet Winner w/ 3.5 Live MTT Cashes Jan 14, 2022

Show notes

Today’s guest on CPG has two WSOP gold bracelets, has cashed for $3.5 million in live MTTs, and is one of the coolest and most genuine humans I’ve ever had the pleasure of getting to know… Brandon Shack-Harris.
So I have a New Year’s lesson I wanna share with you before you dive into today’s show.
I took some time off from my usual slate of podcasts throughout the holidays and recorded just a handful of episodes. Around mid-December (When this episode was originally recorded) my burning desire for cranking out tons of weekly episodes was starting to wane.
The story I told myself was that the CPG Wolf project needed most of my waking energy and anything that took away from that was an unnecessary distraction.
And I believed that story right up until the moment I pressed record with Brandon Shack-Harris.
As I found myself feeling fully present and totally immersed in Brandon’s story I was reminded of all the core reason why the CPG podcast is my passion project:
Having conversations with folks like Brandon makes me feel more alive, lights me up on the inside, and genuinely makes my day.
And so, before you hear the story about the time Brandon was almost a member of the band Muse, the unanticipated way his poker journey began, or the counter-intuitive method he uses to improve his poker skills I just wanted to share with you this lesson:
Remember to make space in your life to do the things that make you feel alive inside, even if your brain and central nervous system push back. Life is too short and precious to do anything otherwise.
Now, without any further ado, I bring to you an amazing poker player and even more amazing human being… the great Brandon Shack-Harris.
