From Poker to Oats: Brian Tate's Unlikely Business Venture
Brian Tate, a former professional poker player, founded Oats Overnight, a company producing ready-to-eat oatmeal. Before founding Oats Overnight, Brian Tate was a professional poker player. He earned nearly $10 million from poker before retiring at age 29. Brian Tate started Oats Overnight after deciding he needed a new challenge after poker.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
