Ansky Reflects on Poker Career and Life After Black Friday

Poker pro Ansky has been playing poker for eight years. He views poker more as a job than as a hobby, stating that he has grown from viewing it as a game to seeing it as work that requires effort to succeed.

Ansky's friends are mostly not from the poker world, and he has noticed a change in his lifestyle compared to his friends who have regular jobs. Despite this, he would not trade his poker career for anything else. Ansky has experienced both ups and downs in his poker journey, often feeling that he deserves more from his results.

Before Black Friday, Ansky experienced vertigo and was hospitalized. He lost income from DoylesRoom and DeucesCracked due to Black Friday. After the event, Ansky moved to Canada and enrolled in culinary school. He decided to attend the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas before making the move. Ansky's girlfriend lived in Toronto, making the transition easier.
