Matt Salsberg isn’t your typical poker pro.
He wrote on Weeds. Sold scripts to Showtime, HBO, Amazon. Created a sitcom with Lee Majors. But just as it was about to take off… Hollywood did what Hollywood does.
Then came cancer. Then came the comeback.
This episode is a masterclass in storytelling, reinvention, and chasing edge — from scriptwriting rooms to final tables. Matt shares how he went from ghostwriting for Curb Your Enthusiasm to battling colon cancer and finishing 70th in the Main Event — all while pitching shows that networks weren’t ready for (but should’ve been).
🧠 If you’re into storytelling, poker, Hollywood drama, or what it means to take a shot when everything’s stacked against you… you’ll love this one.

Poker Pro. Went Broke. Built a Game Anyway.
In this episode, we sit down with DGAF — the man behind one of LA’s most legendary poker lineups — and unpack the real story behind the chips.
From learning five-card draw at age 7 to losing it all (twice) to building a daily 5/5/10 at Hustler, this is a story of resilience, regret, and rebuilding.
💬 We talk:
– Why being “good for the game” beats being the best
– Going broke even while winning
– How to host games that actually last
– And the mental traps most poker pros never escape
This is not a strategy episode. It’s a story episode. A “why the hell am I still doing this?” episode.

🎧 Episode 71 - Table 1 Has Some Fun
This week’s episode is what happens when you mix high-stakes poker with low-stakes nonsense — and we mean that as a compliment.
We start with Art comparing himself to the Incredible Hulk, recent results on PokerGO (a little bragging, a little bankroll update). Then we dive into:
Midway through? We invent a new game (CookamaBUNGO™), share the secret to a great marriage (spoiler: it’s not therapy), and brainstorm how to turn cat-sitting into a profitable side hustle during the WSOP.
And yes — there’s butt stuff. And concierge doctors. You know… normal Table 1 stuff.

Episode 70 - Victoria Livschitz (Part 2)
What do you do after selling a billion-dollar company? If you’re Victoria Livschitz, you go straight into a $25K poker tournament.
She had never played at that level before. She barely knew what "blockers" were. But she knew how to win.
This episode is what happens when a self-made genius discovers poker.
She quit tech and moved to Montana to “retire”… then found poker.
She studied poker the way she studied chess—obsessively.
She put up $25,000 against the best players in the world just to learn.
And within months, she was cashing for millions in tournaments and re-inventing the tools the pros use.

Victoria Livschitz isn’t just a chess prodigy turned tech founder—she’s a high-stakes baller who built a billion-dollar cloud company before "cloud computing" was even a thing. Then? She had to negotiate with the Russian government to keep it. Yeah, you read that right.
She walked into America with $300 and a suitcase full of dirty diapers and walked out with an empire. And oh yeah—if she had discovered poker earlier, she says she never would’ve built her company. That’s how hooked she gets on strategy.
This episode is a MASTERCLASS in taking risks, betting big, and winning in life. You in?

Poker’s all about highs, lows, and comebacks—and Bryan "Devo" Devonshire has lived them all.
He started flipping Magic: The Gathering cards, sneaking into Commerce Casino at 19, and propping in a mining town poker game just to get action. Then, he ran deep in the WSOP Main Event—twice.
But poker isn’t just about winning. After a 12th-place finish in the Main Event, Devo hit a brutal 21-month downswing, lost nearly everything, and had to walk away from the game.
So what did he do? Left Vegas. Moved to Colorado. Built himself back up. And in 2014, he ran deep in the WSOP again.
Now? He’s living in Terlingua, Texas, running a burlesque comedy show, crushing DFS, and still wondering... is another Main Event run in his future?
