About this listen
In this episode of the Suck It Up Man Podcast, Wayne and Josh are joined by NYC Mike, a private-game poker player with deep experience in high-stakes and underground games. The conversation starts with travel, personal growth, and lessons learned from poker losses before diving into the realities of juicy games, financial variance, and the risks players often overlook.
NYC Mike shares firsthand perspectives on underground poker, security concerns, cheating suspicions, and recent controversies that have raised serious questions about trust in private games. The episode also explores the economics of poker — rake, tipping, rising costs — and the difference between playing professionals versus amateurs. A raw, honest look at poker, discipline, addiction, and the price of chasing the game.
