Description

High Stakes poker vet DGAF hit rock bottom in 2017, after twice rising to the top of the poker world. He embarks on his "3rd Rise" homeless, buried in debt, with no bankroll, and with bills piling up by the day. He also has "Poker PTSD" after too many years in the game and one entire year filled with coolers and bad beats...


Ride along as he attempts to do the impossible--make one last comeback under extreme duress, while wrestling his demons and working on himself everyday, and also, being the very best single dad he can be!


This podcast is a documentary for the open-minded who love comeback stories, crazy journeys, human nature, self-examination, brutal honesty, and POKER.

Love the podcast. It's cool to see how someone picks up and interprets all the small things going on at the poker table.
