RE: Introduction and AMA (Ask Me Anything) about being a Professional Poker and Daily Fantasy Sports Player (Cross Post from Poker Section)
Who's your favorite professional poker player and why?
Who's your favorite professional poker player and why?
An internet player named Ben Tollerene. Am on my phone for next 2 days without computer access, but search for him on the Joe Ingram Poker Life Podcast. He is a brilliant game theoretician, and probably the best in the world at a 4 card poker game called Omaha.
There are some other favorites for various reasons: Scott Seiver for being all around amazing, Phil Ivey for his years of dominance as the best player from 2002-2011, Negreanu for ambassador reasons, Jason Mercier for being the real life version of the terminator, and the list could go on for hundreds of names. These are the truly interesting people from poker, and I hope I can act as a gateway for them to this site
I will check out Ben. Wow you'll be even more of a superhero if you bring other guys on this platform! How did you find Steemit btw?
Ben's interviews (more of a conversation really) on Joe Ingram's podcasts are great.
I dove headfirst into cryptocurrency research this week, and decided to do a cursory overview of the cryptos with the highest market caps and came across steem. Loved the concept because I've been posting on forums for 15+ years now. The downside is obvious though, lots of useless and/or plagarized content to filter through to get good stuff, but worth it for monetary incentive. And still plenty of great content around these parts. Great idea though, am on board
Amazing how quickly you got here after diving into crypto research.. but great to have you on board!
What brought you to steem? Any blogs of yours I should check out?
Just been following the Bitshares ecosystem since the beginning of 2015 so fortunately had the inside track to Steem. Hmm.. usually just write about marketing/business ideas for Steem/Steemit. This is a popular one that I think is good for people who want to understand the money/value part of Steem and digital assets in general: Steem: Where DOES the money come from?
Phil was the best player I have ever seen live and Daniel was a cool dude. Bring them over here and lets get a decentralized poker app on steemit!
I would like to know this too. I watched Phil Ivy, some other famous pros and Larry Flint play in a cash game once at the Hustler Casino and Phil was a badass.
