Justin Young

He single-handedly killed poker’s momentum. At least that’s how he tells it. The year is 2015. Poker’s biggest star @RealKidPoker is inches from the WSOP Main Event final table. The crowd. The cameras. The story everyone wanted. Enter Joe McKeehen. That's right, the man to squash ESPN's storytelling dreams wasn't the 1st, 2nd, or even the 903rd dude. He was @dude904. “That day…the deck chose me.” Turns out cheesesteaks and broken bells aren’t the only things Philly produces. Learn how Joe: ♠️ Started with freerolls (no deposit) ♥️ Was six figures in makeup early in his career ♦️ Won $175K while still in college ♣️ Then ran over the WSOP Main Event Join Joe McKeehen, @JustinYoung07 & @ArtParmann on this week's peek into poker's living room on The Table 1 Podcast.

@PokerGO @MithPoker If you aren’t rooting for these two guys then you’re not paying attention to what makes poker a great game.

Pre-final table chest bump between @MithPoker and Bruno Furth.

My best work comes when I don’t look at my cards. Unfortunately I did start looking after this hand….

Ah, the elusive "Product-Market-Fit" Huge thanks to @taylorcaby for taking the time to reminisce this week on the pod. If you don't know his story, you owe it to yourself to check this one out!

Most poker pros don’t start as journalists, yoga instructors & rappers. Brandon Wilson did all three! Northwestern journalism grad. Intern at Al Jazeera in Qatar (Where he almost got arrested…for wearing a sleeveless shirt on the way to the gym) 📽️👀 Now he has $11M+ in poker winnings. But that’s just the start: ♠️Former rapper in New Orleans ♥️Certified yoga & meditation teacher ♦️Started poker during COVID playing $10 tournaments ♣️Now battling in $125K high-stakes events Huge thanks to @brandonwpoker for sharing the story.

By the way he was wrong in this instance, I had to chase done the player to play his remaining stack. Zero apologies or remorse.

Poker pet peeve #49. Player beats another player in an all in spot and tells the dealer “no reason to count” even though it’s close. 90% of the time they are correct and cocky, but when they are wrong they give zero apologies.

Same person busts me with the nuts and I hero call the bet. He shows his hand and I tell him “nice bet I had pocket 8s”. He makes the dealer try and find my cards. He is correct in the ruling obv but this is terrible for poker. Try and cheat one hand and use the rules the other

A lot of men dream about being surrounded by women in Vegas. Kenna James lived that dream…while crying in a bathroom mirror. It happened seconds after @GusHansen knocked him out of a tournament. And weirdly…this is one of the more normal stories from @Kenna_James's life: ♠️Ran the first poker tournament in Russia ♥️Played cards with the writer of Rounders ♦️Ran Deep in the WSOP Main Event (@CMONEYMAKER's year) ♣️Won a bet that somehow cost him $500,000. Poker is weird like that. Big thanks to Kenna for taking the time to share your journey with the poker world!

poker players bet on red or black for Tesla Model X

do pocket jacks EVER win? 🤦

People hated him..."They'd call $1,000 just to get rid of me" (clip below) While everyone else was sitting 200 blinds deep at 25/50…@JonAguiar sat with $1,000 and printed. With an "edge seeking" mindset he found the leak in the ecosystem and attacked it. In this episode: • The "FatalError" origin story • Becoming one of the biggest winners in 25/50 • Getting staked by @shaundeeb & eventually Tom Dwan • Winning a WSOP bracelet (and tilting Brandon Cantu into a rage spiral) • Black Friday → Playa del Carmen • Employee #13 at DraftKings • Modeling Fantasy Sports off of Poker • Walking away Edge isn’t about always about playing better in the game you're in. Sometimes it's just about choosing which game to play... Thanks to Jon Aguiar for sharing his journey

👑🃏 @WPT Wildcard House of Cards Cash Game 👀 King's Cup meets poker, LIVE from @VenetianVegas @VenetianPoker on Monday, Feb. 23 featuring: @Justinyoung07 @THEBLAKEWEBBER @HoodieAllen @themorganjay @NikkiLimo @TylerPoker

Sometimes what's holding you back in poker can be revealed by a single question... Andrew Moreno was holding the nut flush and raised the river. Coach: "Why didn't you go all in?" Andrew: "Well I never bluff here, so I think he'd fold a flush" Then @Chris_D_Brewer broke his frame: “If they’re always folding…why would you never bluff there?” 🤯 We also get into: ♠️Triple-barrel-bluffing for 8x his net worth ♥️Playing his future wife heads up as a first date ♦️Running a stable without going broke ♣️And of course the run that ends with a $1.4M @WynnPoker Millions score 🎥 Clip below. Full episode link in first reply. Shout out to @Amo4sho for letting us poke around in his life this week 🙏

@WPT @VenetianVegas @VenetianPoker @THEBLAKEWEBBER @HoodieAllen @themorganjay @NikkiLimo @TylerPoker I played a lot of “Kings Cup” in college. So I’m likely to have an advantage. But after reading the rules, 6 aren’t for dicks and Queens aren’t questions. So I’ll have a small learning curve.

Red or black for a Tesla Model X?! Anything's possible at T1...
