Poker Video Blogs: From Rap Battles to Cookies and Cabbage


From 2011 to 2015, Mikhail Shalamov regularly released the Poker 4 Life video blog, with 26 episodes covering trips to poker events and other adventures. Mikhail Shalamov's Poker 4 Life episodes included trips to EPT San Remo, the New York Marathon, the World Cup in Brazil, a Caribbean cruise, and an Eminem concert.

Mikhail Shalamov's Poker 4 Life episodes included three rap battles: Offline vs. Online, Tournaments vs. Cash, and Professional vs. Amateur. Anatoly Filatov started his video blog in April 2015 and has since released 52 episodes, often streaming on Twitch and hosting other poker players.

Mikhail Semin took over as the main streamer for PokerDom, collaborating with Vladimir Troyanovsky, Igor Kurganov, and Sergey Fedotov. Alexander Gnatenko and his wife Maria resumed their vlogging career, with Maria leading the project and Alexander participating. Pavel 'scattygamer' Sharnin and Ekaterina Ilchuk live in Las Vegas and have nearly 300,000 subscribers on YouTube, focusing on American life and travel.

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.
