#104 Thomas Bain: CPG Associate Coach, Tactical Tuesday Co-Host and All-Around Crusher Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

Today’s guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is none other than Greatness Village Associate Coach and Tactical Tuesday co-host Thomas Bain.
Thomas is a professional poker player, poker coach, podcaster-in-training, and poker course creator. He’s also a really amazing human who I feel blessed to call my close friend. You might not know this but it’s entirely possible Chasing Poker Greatness would not exist today if it weren’t for Terminator Thomas.
A few years back I stopped taking on new poker students and assumed they’d all eventually drop off and I could laser focus on being the best cardplayer I could be. Surprisingly, year after year Thomas just kept on paying for coaching sessions. Those coaching sessions became regular reminders of just how much fulfillment and happiness I got from guiding folks in their poker journeys.
Thomas, above all else, has a poker mind like a diamond. He’s been one of the biggest winners at every single stake he’s ever played, live or online. There are times in our private Slack Community where Thomas gives next-level feedback on a hand history or poker strategy question and I think to myself, “Damn, that’s absolute genius. How am I supposed to be coaching this dude?”
Then, of course, he tried to do an intro for Tactical Tuesday and I learned that maybe he doesn’t have it all figured out just yet.
In today’s episode you’re going to learn:
Thomas’s poker origin story, including how him and I originally met.
Why Thomas graduated with a degree in Organizational Psychology from Ivy League Columbia University but forgot to actually use it.
Why the mere mention of Kevin Rabichow makes Thomas’s heart flutter.
And much, MUCH more!
So without any further ado, I bring to you my oldest student, partner in course creation, and dear friend Thomas Bain.

#102 Derek Tenbusch: Co-Founder Tournament Poker Edge & Pursuing Poker on Your Terms Dec 16, 2020

Show notes

Today’s guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is Twitch partner and co-founder of Tournament Poker Edge Derek Tenbusch.
Derek is an amazing, amazing dude. He’s one of those rare folks who have been in poker for a very long time and has come to love the poker community even more than the actual game itself.
I know that may sound a bit counter-intuitive, especially if you listen to the jaded grinders who are always talking about how slimy folks in our community are, but I 100% get where he’s coming from.
Even though multiple students in my community have made massive gains over the last year, including one who’s went from 20k hands per month at $100 nl in September to maintaining a 10 bb/100 winrate over 45k monthly hands at $200 in November, to now shot-taking $1k NL in December…
What I genuinely value the most about my community are the relationships I’ve been blessed with and it’s not even a contest.
Today in mine and Derek’s conversation you’re going to learn:
Exactly why Derek loves the poker community so much
The hilarious story behind him and his wife’s move L.A. to North Carolina.
A Greatness Bomb on finding your why and pursuing life & poker on your terms.
And much, MUCH more!
So, without any further ado, I bring to you the hilarious and inspiring co-founder of Tournament Poker Edge Derek Tenbusch.

I have saved a very special episode for you today for landmark episode #100. Today’s guest is one of the all-time greatest poker players to have ever sat down at the green felt, Jason Koon.
Jason has racked up over $31 million in MTT cashes which is pretty, pretty, pretty good. It also places him at #9 on the all-time money list.

$3.5 & $2.8 million gold medals in two $130k buy-in high roller Short Deck tournaments.
$1.6 million victory at the PokerStars Championships in their $100k buy-in high roller event.

Beyond Jason’s resume that I could go on and on and on about forever, I came away from this conversation fully understanding that the man Jason is exceeds even his accomplishments on the green felt. He’s quite simply a great soul and I could not be more honored to share his wisdom with you here today.
In today’s episode, you’re going to learn:
What Greatness means to Jason.

#99 Trevor Savage Part 2: Maintaining Balance Between Family & Crushing Souls Dec 04, 2020

Show notes

In today’s episode of the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast I am once again joined by cash game crusher, Youtuber, and podcaster Trevor Savage.
I got so consumed by Trevor’s story in our first conversation that I forgot to ask him any questions other than “Tell me about your poker journey”.
Today, we more than make up for that and then some as he’s about to throw down Greatness Bomb after Greatness Bomb.
As a short aside, I’m a little worried about the continuity of this episode because right in the middle of recording I had a gremlin in my internet connection and it just kept dropping over and over and over again.
For a little mental imagery, it got so bad I actually left my house so that I could run around my neighborhood and find the Comcast guy who was making our lives miserable. I did find him and, shockingly, he pressed a button and my internet came back like it was no big deal.
I highly doubt you’re ever going to hear a Comcast ad on this podcast because they make ACR look like customer service gods.
In today’s episode, you’re going to learn:
The most unexpected thing to come from Trevor’s journey through poker.
What Trevor believes is the most high impact thing you can do to improve your poker game.
How Trevor maintains balance as a father and poker professional.
And much, MUCH more!
This interview is brought to you by Poker w Presence if you wanna get in
the zone and play your best when you need it most visit pokerwithpresence.com
So without any further ado I bring to you an amazing man, top-shelf cardplayer, and unbelievably patient spirit Trevor Savage.

#98 JNandez Part 2: Daily Routines, Addressing Weaknesses & Daily Improvement Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

In today’s episode Twitch legend JNandez is BACK with your promised follow-up Part 2 conversation and you ought to prepare yourself for a relentless onslaught of Greatness Bombs.
Since Part 1 was an exploration of Fernando’s poker origin story (And if you missed that episode, I highly suggest you go check it out right now), today Fernando is going to be going deep answering some of your favorite Chasing Poker Greatness questions.
I don’t know why but I was a little concerned heading into this conversation that we’d rip through the questions at supersonic speed and leave you with a shortened episode. I ought to have known better.
Fernando’s philosophy on poker and life align so much with my own that I’m pretty sure we could do a weekly episode and never run out of interesting things to talk about.
In today’s episode, you’re going to learn:
- Fernando’s process for mapping out his days
- How he goes about improving his poker game on a daily basis
- How he goes about addressing his weaknesses.
- And much, MUCH more!
So without any further ado, I bring to you a very special Part 2 episode with the founder of PLO Mastermind and all-time great Twitch poker streamer, Fernando “JNandez” Habegger.
