Most poker players dream of getting a seat in Bobby’s Room.

Crazy Mike? He decided to own it.

Good morning fellow gambler! Every week we bring you the highs, lows, and unbelievable characters of high stakes poker. This week’s guest?

Crazy Mike

He’s the man behind Crazy’s Mix — the 200/400 mixed game that became a Vegas institution. He calls himself the dictator of Bobby’s Room: no committees, no voting, no debate. Just: “Whatever I say goes.”

And here’s the thing — Mike’s not just running a game. He’s pushing an idea: mixed games are the future of poker.

But before we start, We’re GIVING AWAY $175 per week in August! And all you’ve gotta do is play poker. (Might we recommend a little 1-hour Phenom session while you grind this episode? 🤑)

We sat down with Mike to break down:

🎲 How he moved an entire lineup from Ivy’s Room to Bobby’s in 30 minutes
♠️ Why he thinks NLH and PLO are boring compared to mixed
💼 How “Crazy’s Mix” ended up on Bravo as its own game type
🔫 Why being the dictator works (and the chaos it creates)
