Good morning fellow degen,

What happens when poker comes so easy to you that you think you can teach anyone with half a brain to do it? Ask Chris Moorman, who famously went broke backing as many as 35 players and losing $5,000,000 before he learned his lesson!

It’s that time again. Dust off the old whiskey glass. Polish up the beer stein. And get ready for another episode of the Table 1 Podcast.

Episode 58 - Chris Moorman

What makes someone one of the best poker players in the world? Chris Moorman takes us through his story, from playing bridge at a high level (i know right?) to building a record-breaking poker career. We talk about the highs—like winning a WSOP bracelet and crushing live tournaments—and the lows, including staking gone wrong and the fallout of Black Friday.

Chris also dives into his new chapter as an ACR Team Pro, talking some ICM strategy (or his distaste for it), live-streamed cash games, and what it’s like to pivot in the poker world post-COVID. Oh, and there’s a wild degen story at the end—you don’t want to miss it.

Hit play for an inside look into the mindset of a champion poker player and the lessons he’s learned along the way. 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more behind-the-scenes poker stories!
