🎙️ Episode 74 - Billy "DGAF"

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.

🎧 Listen in — and maybe rethink what a winning poker life really looks like.
