Telling Poker’s Stories

At SoMuchPoker I write for the Stories section, covering the lighter and more human side of the game. That includes the WSOP “Moment of the Day” series during the summer series, player spotlight profiles, and net worth and Legends of Poker features on notable characters in the game. I look for the moments that say something about poker beyond the results: a costume at the tables, an unusual hand, a player’s backstory.

Two Decades Inside the Game

My connection to poker goes back more than 20 years. I have been a player, a live tournament director, and a localization manager for a major online poker room, working directly with players and understanding how the game looks from both sides of the felt. That background is what I bring to the stories I write now: an understanding of what actually matters to players, on the felt and off it.

Content Philosophy

I look for stories that are accurate and grounded, even when the subject is lighthearted. A good WSOP moment or player profile still needs to be fact checked and fair to the people involved. Humor and color do not come at the cost of getting the details right.
