Really good to hear your story mate, I wanna hear more about the Asian cash game scene it seems a little dangerous but intriguing at the same time, all the best ginge x

I just stumbled across your twitch stream recently which led me to your KZfaq channel. I *really* like your Twitch streams. It’s nice to know more about your background and history with this vid. Best of luck with your social media grind.

love the part you mentioned about the coach you hired that wanted you to figure stuff out by yourself! I think this is an extremely powerful piece of information where so many don't realize how much more beneficial it is. love your first vid mate and will def be watching future ones. Will prob be subbing to Twitch also

really interesting story! id be very interested in your process of studying, like what has changed in the years, from smaller stakes to now. also in generell your study routines and maybe even amount of studying compared to playing especially at the beginning :)

Bellisimo. surviving and thriving after some rough makeup spots and a painful sounding deuce on the river, enjoyed the story

This was super insightful. Sick come up!

nice 1 bro, I was living in BKK for a while and currently in China, looking to hit Macau in the next year once Cvid is done, i'd love some coaching at some point...I loved hearing about your journey, also.

Inspiring stuff! Thanks for sharing your journey, Ginge!

Great vid brother enjoyed the transparency

i remember that daily mail article when it came out. i just spent a couple hours watching your vids and man, congrats on your success & also you're a likable fella. you're going to do well on here. good luck

I'm just about to start my full time poker career. Like you, it took me a long time to get to this point, and funny enough, I took LSD 2 nights ago, which opened up some aspects of my life that I am now adding into my daily routine to work on. I just found your channel, and I'm liking what I see.

Dude, awesome story. I would for sure like to see all the extra videos you mentioned doing on those said topics!

Great video and story, thanks for sharing your experiences!

Keep the streams coming, big up!

New sub here. Id never heard of you before. I enjoy the videos u break down hands. I binge watched 3 in a row. Good job!

Excited for some streams and what sound like awesome stories, dude

Love the blog can't wait for more

This is a great story mate! God I remember coming out of uni with a law degree that took me a long time to achieve due to time out (6 years instead of 3 like my friends) and then completing and being on benefits for 6 months before getting a job on £6 an hour!! My story eventually got better a few years later and I did qualify as a lawyer and also discovered the world of poker and gradually went from fish to solid live cash game player. Hit me up for a beer or coffee when you in London next! Congrats on your success!!

Inspiring video, i've always been debating to move to asia and persue poker fulltime. thanks for sharing!

Great video pal! Really inspiring stuff! Really nice to hear a fellow brummie talk about poker and their journey!

Liked the video bro! Came across you today, will stay for the journey. Glgl brutha

Love the life mate good on you, be following the journey much gl 😁

Would like to hear more on all the topics you said about doing a separate video on; the arrest, LSD (especially this imo) and the coaching method. Great stuff.

I watched your Thailand prison story. You’re very interesting to listen to. Have a great 2023 year!

Keep it up!! gr8 info n content

Hey mate! What's up! I remember your last name from somewhere until you mentioned you were in BRS. The world is small :) I remember brandon, and saw you posting something too. Can you please go into more detail about your spiritual poker coach and the methods he used? I'm playing tournaments, and trying to get better every day. Feel like his lessons could help me a lot. Been into quite some spiritual stuff as well throughout the last year. Keep kicking ass man!

I was in the year above you in school. Didn't really know you but it's cool to hear your story and I've been enjoying your content. Your life has turned out quite different than the typical grammar school conveyor belt!

Great video and great story. Can’t wait for more uploads. Do you stream on Twitch?

Wauw what a story, definitely going to follow you around !

A legend in the making :)

I might’ve misheard but when you had 60kish net worth while still in a hole, how were you playing 100k pots and 80k pots against Art and also in Bobby’s room. Who staked for that? Interesting vid, thanks for sharing!

good stuff man, im from england and live in the philippines and grind mtts full time. subbed.

Nice vlog really enjoyed listening to your story

what i took from this story is LSD is the answer

Really glad I have found these vlogs , have played with you and the family plenty of times in the Midlands , you may recognise the name . Well done on the success in poker and the vlogs . Very insightful .

Love how open u are! Hope to see u again in macau. U planning doing live vlogs in asia?

Always a pleasure to watch your videos! I heard you live in Samui and I have some questions about it if you could help. I currently live in Germany as a professional Poker player, but given an upcoming new legislation I might be forced to move next year. Me and my wife were in Thailand in February and loved it (especially Koh Tao!), so we are also considering that option among many others. I was wondering how should we deal with VISA? Should we do some kind of VISA runs? Also, how much do you think is an average monthly budget for 2 people considering rent, food and services in Samui? Considering an average life-style, nothing too fancy nor too poor. Thanks!

Enjoyed this vid , I generally prefer playing cash 1/2..2/5 with some success. Been playing 15 years now and plan to play alot more when I retire in a few years....all the best.

A video about your jail time would be nice. I remember it reading in your blog and had to half laugh/being shocked for you trying to bribe the officals (if i remember correctly) and you waiting for the judgment.

That's some heavy shoes to wear ! Very inspiring mate ! Let's keep printing this paper !

Great Video and content. I look forward to future Vids..

Came across you on Charlie’s podcast, loved the story! When you said making 100-200k a month last year, was this zoom 500 or live cash in Asia?

Becoming a pro (cash game first) needs to get through passing every limit starting from the bottom ?

This was awesome to watch

Do you have your own stable atm? With coaches etc. Looking to follow your path, I’m currently backed in a small stable for all online tourneys. Also got a group of people that will take my action at markup ( 1.1 -1.2) at live tourneys. I haven’t really been able to find real consistent success playing online cash, I primarily win online tourneys and win cash live (playing 2/5, 5/5, 5/10 either Holdem or 4/5 card plo). Currently have a 9-5 job but still put in atleast 160 hr a month playing poker. Looking to hopefully get a bink to do this full time. Any advice or tips?

Hey bro, would love to hear more abt your experience with LSD sometime :D

What a lovely son you are. Well done for treating your parents. I came across you yesterday and I am hooked. I have about £25 in PokerStars acct and get nowhere. It would be nice if you could point to some basic tips without giving away your secrets. Maybe one day I will be able join your academy.

Am thinking about flying over to Thailand from Vegas once the Covid restrictions end

Thanks for your story. Good luck

Crazy how you were grinding through so long for 80k net worth and then suddenly were making 100k- 200k/ month.

nice vlog !

Ginge help me to know the best way to start building up what sites to play on give the best games to build your future online ???

plzzz give details on lsd trip/ other experiences!

Congratulations 🎉🍀🔥👏gg gl

Thanks for sharing. super crazy story

i've watched this 10x times

Damn, what a rollercoaster that must have been. Good to hear you're in a great place now, sounds like it's well deserved. Look forward to watching more of your videos.

Hello new subscriber here! If I don’t have the money yet for a coach what books or sites would you recommend for studying? Thanks for any information and take care ✌️

Cool video!!

hey man, dope story! When you had your first 200k month, what stakes were you playing? Live or online? Tourneys or Cash?

What site do you play on? I am in Thailand and am having problems registering and depositing...

you are a good man Richard!

Very interesting to hear

Awesome story and the honesty really comes through. All the best.

Link to podcast with Charlie? Can't find it on google.

Short house video would be cool, looks super awesome. Story is good too, mad swings tho, that I would proper struggle with

Great story. I'm here after watching the jail story

How much did you have of yourself when you went on that heater?

Ginge i am a good player but i need some couching to get to next level etc are you interested 🤔

You got a similar story to me its mad. I was crushing it from 2005-2009, I was the first person through the door when DTD first opened. Went broke and back to work and had kids between 2009-15. Started playing on and off to supplement income then since 2018 back to playing full time. Funny story from back in the day.... around 2006-7 I was staking Sam Trickett in tournaments then he started to blow up so I’m going to lay claim to his success 😑 Good luck mate 👍🏼

where r u playing those live cash games macao?

Could you have made it to where you are now without ever partaking in staking? How much longer would it have taken you?

That Harry Lodge guy sounds hot

I'm over here thinking 50nl is godtier lmao

do you know the green mango club in samui?

You seem like a cool and genuine dude, gl in the future. Also would you say that people swapping action with friends to medigate variance is a big risk to the friendship.

Haha that's a pretty cool story man.

This is super inspiring

sick crib too

So how did you suddenly have 200k months? Was that from live games or was it from the apps?

What does «clear my makeup» mean? Or whatever you say after you describe how much you make that month

you able to drop a hinter at the end of your story how you started makin 100-200k a month? live or online? obv understand if thats a detail you dont want to share

Talk about inspiring!

You have at least one new follower.

Great story. I was curious how you answered when interviewers asked you about your third at uni? How do u put a positive spin on it/how honest were you? Did you ever talk about poker at interviews? Thx

oh i read that history in 2p2 years ago

Think you should talk more about the LSD and how we as poker players can solve our own problems or how to teach yourself ect! Also you should get a Monzo account that you can put money into all online and within the app you can exchange your Pounds into what ever currency you need or want, you can use it anywhere in the world without getting bank charges also! You should look into bro, then you can get around the whole £100k on a flight problem you had before.

Is it still possible to make a living at hold em online?

Hello mate maybe you don’t see this but I am feeling a little lost in life and slightly depressed, I dislike England, my job the way life is going, I turn 27 next year. Do you recommend just saying f*** it and travel to Asia? I am playing online and beating 100NL and have a 600k sample, if it went wrong I could also just come back home. Thanks

Hey Ginge, firstly thanks for this. I've just found your channel and subscribed, and found it interesting. I earn quite well so my hourly of +£29 in £1/£2 cash games doesn't come close to exceeding a job I largely enjoy. But I'm forever curious if I could make it full time and this was a great insight for me. For now it's just a side-hustle. Can you (if not already), explain how backers work? Like you talk of buying your own action, but isn't that what I do when I put down money at the poker table? I mean I get that you can take a % of somebody in tornies, but how's it work playing cash live? Once you're making 6 figures monthly, why would you need backers at that stage, feels like you have sufficient money to ride any variance? I think I understand stables and make-up, I guess I would be curious how you go about getting recruited, and if you'd recommend? Lastly, I appreciated your mention of the teacher who let you figure out your own stuff. I'm very atypical in my play in that I much prefer being a post flop player. It tends to confuse decent players who struggle to put me on a range and with less good players I can outplay post flop when I have more information to work with. Like I know this is odd, and since entering my 2nd year of recording results I have introduced more variance (especially into my Fri/Sat play, with the less capable players), and this has increased my hourly although I now win slightly fewer sessions as a %. I'm curious for your take on this. Is it that I'm kidding myself with the benefits of my atypical play and now seeing the improved hourly means I've worked it out?

Idk how i stumbled upon your channel but be careful with poker. Many players have amassed millions, felt invincible, and it just vanished over a short period of time (variance, expenses, poor BR management, divorce, rent, hotels, $200 food per day etc). Anyway, sounds like you have yourself together. All the best.

Whats man. So im a student just finished uni. Been playin poker bout 5/6 years not consistently but do quite well. Lot of pub tournys, maybe 50 -100 people larger ones every now and then. When i play. Basically id lodge money into a few tournys online and cash quite a majority. Not mad buy ins but anyway. Iv been obsessed about committing to it and learning more like its basically all i want to do for the rest of my life but its that first step to risk going for it i cant do. What do u recommend? Thanks man

where in asia did you play live?

I like this guys stories, i grind 50nl on acr which isn't huge stakes but with rake back and bonuses i'm making around 4 or 5k a month which would easily be enough to live on in thailand. I really want to go there and experience living there for a bit i just wonder about the legality of a brutish guy living in Thailand, like how does it work? Do i need a visa? Also I've done a lot of LSD too :P have you seen the studies that it increases cognitive ability so could have a positive effect on playing especially if you micro dose. Have you ever considered micro dosing while playing? Like a small amount 20ug maybe, not enough to notice the effects but apparently it increases focus and improves cognitive ability. Scientists have proven this by micro dosing patients then giving them tasks to do while in an MRI. Anyway it's interesting. it was interesting to hear how LSD helped your brother too, i used to be super anxious all the time and sometimes get down because of that, since the first time I tried LSD it's like that anxiety is completely gone and i haven't had a single day where i feel down. This is also something that's been proven to be true, It activates part of the brain which are used for positive thinking long after taking it. They're successfully treating things like depression and even addictions with LSD. Anyway i'm done rambling, cheers for the video.

great story,good luck in the future , maybe see you in pattaya again one day

Does your bro have a channel as well?

What year did he move out to Thialand? to lazy to rewatch the video...

Do you coach?

You look and sound like a guy I would love to get drunk with) love from Ukraine
