Doug Polk on Victor Blom and His Poker Lifestyle


Doug Polk, a well-known poker player, recently shared his thoughts on Victor Blom, a former high-stakes NL heads-up player. Polk noted that Blom has shifted his focus to playing PLO with a cap and occasionally SNG NLHE. Despite attempts to organize a match, Polk and Blom have never played a hand against each other.

Polk also discussed his own daily routine, which includes traveling for poker games and enjoying his life in Las Vegas. He described a typical day as either being on the road for poker tournaments or relaxing in Vegas with friends. Polk mentioned that he has toned down his partying lifestyle but still enjoys the perks of his successful poker career.

In addition to his poker career, Polk mentioned a dispute with Brad Booth over an unpaid debt of approximately $30,000. The incident was detailed on the 2+2 forum, where Booth publicly apologized. However, Polk clarified that the money was not a loan but an agreed-upon exchange.

I'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.
