Maurice Hawkins, poker professional, who holds the record with fifteen Circuit Series Rings breaks his silence and joins us on the podcast to address all the rumors, give us a look into the poker mindset of the Hawk, and discuss his deep run in the Main Event for $280,000. We also cover how "The Hawk" was introduced to poker, how to get better at poker, our poker dreams and goals, as well as the spicy allegations surrounding past backing deals. For those that are unfamiliar, the poker community seems to consider him the Villain due to his confidence at the table and a past business deal gone bad resulting in a debt of $20,000.We discuss all this and more in this two part interview.

Welcome us back with the introduction of @barzbanga new album: The Cook Up. We have some big name interviews in the vault that you WONT want to miss. SUBSCRIBE, FOLLOW, and tell a friend. BIG THINGS coming!!

It's been an amazing experience doing this podcast. I got the chance to meet a ton of great people, learn a lot, and create friendships that will last a lifetime. Let me be clear. This isn't goodbye. We intend to come back better than ever however we need help. Reach out if you can edit or have skills that could be of use to the Poker Ain't Life community. We are planning to attend podcast seminars and come back polished with a whole new format b/c currently the algorithm aint life. In the meantime, I encourage you to go listen to the previous episodes and comment on our posts, share > copy link is the new hack!! Support us so we can come back strong!! As always. Good luck on the felt. Oh and get you some JONAH COACHING!!! My boy crushing!! Till we meet Again. 🙏✌🏾

We wanted to check in with everyone after Vegas and introduce a new game.

We met Jerry in Vegas on a smoke break and turned out to be a friendship that Damion and I will cherish forever. Gerry was on his way to try and get his 100th Vegas win, and he did it!! After Vegas, we stayed in touch and come to find out Gerry has literally 60 years of Poker Stories. He even crushes online to this day. Enjoy the full Interview.

We tried to meet up at the podcast place above the dispensary that Spree had the hookup on. But everyone wanted to play poker so we cancelled. We planned to meet up for dinner at Grand Lux, but Poker players don't eat apparently so we cancelled. Somehow, someway, we found an interview w/ @QueneForee. Its crazy how things just work out sometimes. We had cancelled all content plans for the day and a random Tag Team tournament at the Golden Nugget somehow brought us all together.

What is one word to describe our Vegas Experience: Meh! Didn't lose too much but felt like we didn't play enough either. In the future we will separate the partying from the poker and focus solely on the money. Great Content and Great Memories.

Although we are currently at the end of season 2 we wanted to give you guys a sneak peak of some of the interviews upcoming in Season 3. Vegas Adventures

You dont want to miss the conclusion of this crazy story. El Jefe probably had as many crazy stories as Spree. Jefe teaches us many valuable lessons. Such as the value of family and investment. Also everyone grows up in different circumstances but you can thrive no matter what your surroundings if you just stay focused.

This week on the podcast, El Jefe @international_jefe201 joins us for a wild discussion. From dice games with rappers to huge baccarat pots to staking TV poker stars, my guy has stories for weeks. You def dont want to miss this. Strap In!

Extremally smart brother out of Detroit by the name of Marcus Norman discusses his #wsop ring win with the gang and talks about the Tournament of Champions quickly approaching. Marcus has been a professionally backed #poker player since the Full Tilt and 2 + 2 days and his story is just now coming to light. If accolades & shark wisdom is what you've been waiting for then this is the episode is for you. Enjoy!!

From his stories in Mexico to his stories about growing up in LA, @fish_poker shares his hilarious but heartfelt story. #poker #pokerlife
