Poker Pros Share Memorable Moments and COVID-19 Concerns
Poker players have been sharing memorable moments and discussing recent events in the poker community. Jason Strasser shared a famous photo of Phil Galfond's old apartment, noting it as the best illustration of the poker boom.
Miiikka Anttonen recalled working for a Finnish poker magazine and being invited to Vegas to cover the rise of Victory Poker. He mentioned that the magazine was invited to meet with prominent figures like Flysman, Bilzerian, Antonio, and others to witness the rapid but short-lived ascent of Victory Poker.
In another memorable exchange, Trueteller and nanonoko had a conversation about a bear running around Trueteller's house during a high-stakes poker game. The conversation, which took place in 2012, was translated in one of the reviews of high-stakes poker. Trueteller mentioned needing a break due to a bear running around his house, to which nanonoko responded with disbelief and humor.

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.
