Some poker careers explode.
Jeremy Ausmus’s just… kept going.

No hype.
No shortcuts.
No disappearing act.

If you’re new around here, every week we dig through poker’s back rooms and main stages looking for stories that explain how people actually last in this game.

This week’s story is about staying power.

Jeremy didn’t grow up around casinos.
He grew up on a dirt road in rural Colorado.

Chess with his grandpa.
Plastic chips at family games.
$40 tournaments with local business guys who thought they were “just having fun.”

Then Vegas.

No backing army.
No fast ascent.
Just capped games, short buy-ins, and a lot of patience.

For a while, he spun his wheels.

Then online poker clicked.
The results snowballed.
And for the first time, poker felt sustainable.

Then Black Friday hit.

Accounts frozen.
Money locked.
Careers erased overnight.

A lot of players never came back.

Jeremy did.

He leaned into live cash.
Bellagio 10/20.
Deep stacks.
Long hours.
No drama.

Until one summer changed everything.

WSOP Main Event.
Final table.
Millions on the line.

And one hand he still describes like this:

You’d think that’s where the story ends.

It’s not.

After the Main Event.
After Triton titles.
After winning on poker’s biggest stages…

Jeremy did something unexpected.

He started something new.

He’s jumping into the ring with Brad Owen, Mariano, Rampage & Wolfgang. That’s right he started a poker Vlog. And no offense to those other guys, but if you want to learn how the absolute top tier play…You should be subscribing to his channel faster than Phil Hellmuth calls it off with two aces.

We have a feeling it’s going to be a success. Because the same thing that built his poker career built everything else:

Show up.
Put in reps.
Let it compound.

This episode is about what happens after talent.

It’s about longevity.
About adapting when the game changes.
About starting over — even when you don’t have to.

Jeremy Ausmus didn’t chase the spotlight.

He just stayed long enough for it to find him.
