“Love the pod, best poker podcast in my opinion because it dives straight into hands in an entertaining way that also has great hand analysis.
Hopefully Sammy starts recording again and I get to hear more about him firing himself into the sun!”

“Updating this review. You’re the best and I hope your family and you are doing well. I also hope you decide to do some more pods. Miss it!
Great podcast for the poker world. I’ve listened to tons of other pods and this is by far my favorite. I love the poker commentary for good and bad hands,...”Read full review »

“Been a long time listener of Sammy from daily fantasy sports podcasts and have always loved his personality. He develops his story of what’s happening at the table very well. Even someone like me who has never played poker at a for real money table can get important information from each hand...”Read full review »

“I loved the 3-part WSOP episodes (and the pod as a whole). You did an excellent job of conveying the emotion of playing on poker's largest stage. From the pre-game mental health prep, to the blind structuring, to the impacts of stacks, and how the finality of losing a once a year tournament...”Read full review »

“I’ve been bringing through this whole podcast at work over the last week. Very entertaining, and very instructive. Many other poker pods I’ve listened to were just guys reading what a solver spat out and frankly that’s neither entertaining nor informative. Your podcast makes you realize there’s a...”Read full review »

“Huge fan of Sammy’s podcast. He has an entertaining style which keeps the listener engaged and the gravy on top is that’s it’s significantly improved my game (jeni82 on skypoker) after I found his podcast around end Mar’23.”

“Overall great podcast and concept with the hand reviews/breakdowns. This is getting tougher to listen to however because of the seemingly forced and dreadful catch-phrases. For example, the whole “It me” bit at the open. I don’t understand purposely using incorrect grammar here?? Also, the “Obama...”Read full review »

“Stumbled on this due Peter Overzet mentioning it on his bestball breakfast stream. I have always enjoyed playing poker but don’t really get to play as much anymore. Sammy’s pod really allows you to geek out with him on theory in a very consumable and fun way. Thanks for creating this gem of a pod...”Read full review »

“Been getting more in to poker since I started listening to this pod. This overtook The Fantasy Footballers podcast and the Gillcast as my two other favorite listens.

“I’m a MTT player myself but thoroughly enjoy Sammy’s breakdown of hands. Would like a bit more theory and maybe delve into how he plans to approach preparing for the WSOP but we can’t have it all can we. Great job Sammy. At least you don’t have to explain rostering Diontae Johnson every week on...”Read full review »

“Been folllwing Sammy in DFS streets for years and always liked his delivery as a “feel” player. That holds true here. Too many people teaching strict GTO/Solver strategies these days. Sammy mixes optimal strategy with common sense feel and it has helped my game alot. Thanks!”

“This is the only podcast that I've listened to every single episode. Sammy remarkably remembers the minutiae of every single hand and doesn't poison the well with revisionist history when he's recalling his rationale on a misplayed hand. I can visualize every board and, even though I...”Read full review »

“Sammy’s storytelling, self-deprecation, and self-congratulation breathe life into the hands. Along the way, maybe we even learn a little something.
