#143 Carlos Welch: Co-Host Thinking Poker Daily, MTT Beast, & Back to Being Homeless
Welcome back my fine feathered friend to another episode of the âChasing Poker Greatnessâ podcast. Iâm your host, founder of Chasing Poker Greatness, Brad Wilson.
Today the one and only Carlos Welch is back for the third time on CPG and I couldnât be more thrilled!
Donât tell Andrew Brokos over at the Thinking Poker podcast but Iâm secretly dreaming Carlos will reach out to me about being a regular co-host of CPG.
Heâs just the kind of dude that, once you get to know him, you wanna spend as much time with him as you possibly can. Unfortunately for your favorite podcast host, youâre about to learn that getting chances to chill out with Coach Carlos are rare opportunities indeed.
As far as his poker credentials go...
Carlos is an MTT beast who regularly battles in the biggest buy-in MTTâs on Ignition, heâs a writer for PokerNews and Tournament Poker Edge, and heâs also a co-host on the aforementioned Thinking Poker podcast.
In todayâs conversation with the always Great Carlos Welch, youâre about to learn:
- How to avoid paying resort fees so that you can stay at the RIO during the WSOP for a paltry $30 or so per night.
- Why Carlos prefers playing on his own dime.
- Lessons and meditations on the blessings of both giving and receiving.
- And much, much more!
Before you dive into this episode with Carlos I wanted to take a moment to let you know about my latest mini-course: Neutralize River Leads.
NRL is powered by Mass Data Analysis, which means the strategies were built based on what folks are ACTUALLY doing instead of what folks theoretically SHOULD do.
Neutralize River Leads is a âpay what you wishâ mini-course so that you can experience the power of MDA at absolutely no upfront cost.

And now, without any further ado, I bring to you one of my all-time favorite human beings in the world of poker, the always inspiring and entertaining Carlos Welch.

#138 Jack Laskey: The Poker Prodigy Returns
Today I am super pumped to welcome back a good friend of CPG, the always thoughtful, articulate, and way too wise for his age Jack Laskey.
For Jack, the poker dream all began at a tender age of twelve, yes twelve, when most of us were navigating our way through Middle School and spending our free time playing video games, Jack and his crew had already entered the online poker streets.
Today, heâs a founding member of the "Just Hands Podcast", where he and his co-host Mr. James Bilderbeck help their listeners raise up their poker game with bi-weekly drops featuring in-depth hand analysis.
Jackâs eclectic background and penchant for taking on new challenges has most recently led him to dedicate most of his time managing Unbounded Capital and investing in bleeding edge projects in the crypto space. So if Crypto is a thing you love learning more about, youâre about to be in for a pleasant surprise.
In todayâs Greatness Bomb dripping conversation with Jack Laskey, youâre going to learn:
Exactly what Mr. Laskey has been up to over the past year.
Why Jack loves solving for âwhyâ way more than solving for âwhatâ.
How Jack sees poker fitting into his life moving into the future.
And much, MUCH more!
Without further ado, I bring to you fan favorite, all around amazing dude and longtime friend of the show Jack Laskey

#132 Kristy Arnett Round 2: Fortune Favors the Bold
Todayâs guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is professional poker player, YouTubeâr, and future New York Times Bestselling Author the multi-dimensional Kristy Arnett.
Kristyâs first appearance on Chasing Poker Greatness was packed so full of Greatness Bombs you almost had to listen to it twice so I had very high hopes for this Round 2â¦
And, of course, Kristy knocked it out of the park.
In todayâs show with Kristy, sheâs going to go deep on all the things sheâs been up to since the last time she and I talked. With that said, a little backstory:
In Kristyâs world, pokerâs a family affair.
Her first step into the world of poker began many years ago when her boyfriend (Now husband) Andrew Moreno (Whoâs now a high stakes live cash game crusher) took her to check out a home game.
She went in as one person, stepped out as another, and poker has been a huge part of her and her familyâs life ever since.
From packing up her bags and moving to Vegas to being the face at Cardplayer Magazine to calling her own number and going pro, Kristyâs adventures in the world of cards is both aspirational and inspirational.
The poker world is just a much better place for having her in it.
In todayâs Round 2 conversation with Kristy, youâre going to learn:
How Kristy has struggled with an inherent aversion to taking risks and how she navigates her fears.
Why working hard at your craft day in and day out is all you can control.
Kristyâs incredibly powerful and amazing technique for setting intentions.
And much, MUCH more!
So without any further ado I bring to you my conversation with the thoughtful crusher of poker souls, the one and only Kristy Arnett.

#131 Sasha Eileen Sutton: The Business Builder Who Moved From New York to Vegas to Pursue Poker
Todayâs guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is the author of âThe Total Poker Manualâ Sasha Sutton.
Sashaâs path, which youâre about to learn all about, to the world of poker is unlike pretty much anyone Iâve met in the poker world.
After spending 3+ decades as an extremely successful creative and financial writer, she made the fated decision to attend a workshop at the age of 55 where she was introduced to the world of poker.
After getting bitten by the wily poker bug initially, a few weeks later she received a cosmic sign from the universe that poker was meant to be a major part of her life when none other than past Chasing Poker Greatness guest 3-time WSOP bracelet winner Matt Matros attended one of her writing workshops.
When she figured out who he was she asked him for private coaching, he accepted, and poker has been a major part of Sashaâs life ever since.
In todayâs conversation with Sasha Sutton, youâre going to learn:
How amazing of a human being Sasha is. Seriously, sheâs led a life so full of excitement and adventure that you wonât be able to help but leave this conversation inspired.
How ignorance is not only just bliss⦠It can lead you to accomplishing amazing things you otherwise wouldnât have been able to.
More great stories about the New York underground poker scene.
And much, MUCH more!
And before you dive into my conversation with Sasha, I just wanted to take a second to let you know Iâve recently completed my third cash game course and itâs called âNeutralize Flop Leadsâ.
With one PDF and a couple of hours of study, youâll never again feel confused when facing a donk bet in a single raised pot.
You can check it out at https://chasingpokergreatness.com/nuffle
Now without any further ado I bring to you author, business builder, and poker playerâ¦
The brilliant and insightful Sasha Sutton.

#128 Eli Elezra: High Stakes Poker & Las Vegas Legend
Todayâs guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is a high stakes mixed-game legend who basically needs no introduction, Eli Elezra.
But just because the man doesnât NEED an introduction doesnât mean he isnât gonna get one anyway.
Eli has led quite the life on and off the felt, and heâs about to take you way back to the very beginning of his poker career. Starting with his time in the Israeli Army and then traveling through working in a cannery and driving a taxi in a small Alaskan town.
After terrorizing the citizens of said tiny Alaskan town at the poker tables, Eli decided to test his mettle and see what the card players in Vegas were all about.
As it turns out, those Las Vegas regulars like Doyle Brunson, Chip Reese, and Stuey Ungar were pretty decent at playing cards and Eliâs early trips didnât go so well.
Never one to be easily deterred, the poker bug had sunk its sharp little teeth into Eli and wasnât letting go.
Despite doing very well for himself financially in his time in Alaska, Eli got a surprising phone call and offer from his brother that forever changed his life.
In todayâs conversation with Eli Elezra, youâre going to learn:
The story behind Eliâs biggest winning and losing sessions (Both are north of 7 figures).
What it was really like playing with legends Stu Ungar and Chip Reese.
The origin story of legendary poker tv show High Stakes Poker.
And much, MUCH more!
So without any further ado, I bring to you the fearless and singular Eli Elezra.

#127 Tom Wheaton: Disrupting the Playing Card Industry & Connecting Poker Stars with Businesses
Todayâs guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is the founder of Faded Spade & Above the Felt Entertainment Tom Wheaton.
Tom and I both entered the poker world at about the same time which means Tom has been a cardplayer for a very, very long time.
When we got into poker current poker supernova Landon Tice was barely 4-years-old.
If that doesnât make me feel old then I guess nothing will - yeesh.
But even though Tom entered poker in 2004, he took a very different career path than your average everyday grinder which youâre about to hear all about.
He even almost dropped out of the poker world entirely because, you know, whoâs got time for a hobby like poker when you have a full career and growing family?
But the poker gods were not finished with Tom just yetâ¦
In todayâs conversation, youâre going to learn:
The amazing story of how Tom lucked his way into getting connected with WPT executives.
How FadedSpade managed to disrupt the playing card industry.
Why Tomâs wife was a catalyst in his ultimate decision to Chase Poker Greatnessâ¦
And much, MUCH more!
Without any further ado, I bring to you the founder of Faded Spade (The OFFICIAL playing card of the World Poker Tour) & Above the Felt entertainment which already represents some of the biggest and brightest names in the poker world, the one and only Tom Wheaton.

#125 Ana Marquez: The Spanish Supernova - Former #1 Poker Player in Spain & $1.8 Million in Live MTT Cashes
Todayâs guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is the brilliant Greatness Bomb dropping Ana Marquez.
Anaâs an online MTT soul crushing cyborg, former #1 ranked poker player in Spain, and has amassed $1.8 Million in lifetime live MTT cashes.
This CPG episode is especially meaningful to me because itâs a reminder of why Iâm going to do my best to continue making these shows forever.
When I started out my own poker journey in 2004 it was because the prospect of being a professional poker player was the first time in my entire life I had been excited about a career path.
It was a shot to my spirit after being asked a bazillion times growing up what I wanted to do with my life and drawing blanks because, frankly, nothing ever excited me.
But back in 2004 the world was not nearly as small as it is today. If being a professional poker player is an obscure professional today, try to imagine how it was 17 years ago.
Stumbling across similar folks with a turbo-charged passion for playing poker at a high level was something that happened every once in a while but all-in-all was a pretty rare thing.
But because of CPG I get to connect with similar spirits who light me up like a Wheel of Fortune slot machine on a regular basis like Matt Berkey, Jason Su, Kristen Bicknell, Nick Howard, Mark Herm, and todayâs very special guest Ana Marquez.
These are my people and, man, itâs a beautiful thing indeed to connect with your tribe.
In todayâs lights-out conversation with Ana, youâre going to learn:
Why Ana had zero doubts about her future poker success from the jump.
The story of Ana losing $500 by staking a friend before she even played a hand of cards.
Why she wrote her bachelorâs thesis on the History of Poker after the first WSOP.
And much, MUCH more!
So, without any further ado, I bring to you the Spanish poker Supernova Ana Marquez.

Todayâs guest on the Chasingh Poker Greatness podcast is former online MTT poker professional Luciana Manolea.
Lucianaâs poker journey spans over 10 years where sheâs cashed for over $4.5 million dollars in her combined live and online poker career.
Luci considers her poker origin story a âfortunate accidentâ while she was in college studying computer science.

In todayâs episode youâre going to learn:
How insane multi-table poker tournament variance can really be in a story that makes this poker podcast hostâs blood run cold.
Luciâs new metaphorical mountain sheâs gearing up to climb (HINT: It involves the world of cryptocurrency).

And much, MUCH more!
So without any further ado, I bring to you fearsome Romanian crusher of souls Luciana Manolea.

#115 Matt Waxman: WSOP & WPT Champ, $4.2 Million MTT Cashes, & Founder of Pokerithm
Todayâs guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is a WSOP Gold bracelet winner, WPT champ, and WPT Tournament of Champions Champ who has cashed for $4.2 million in live tournaments, Matthew Waxman.
Mattâs pretty much the perfect guest for a long-form interviewâ¦
When the lights came on dude came out swinging, throwing down Greatness Bomb after Greatness Bomb without ever running out of steam.
After what felt like 15 minutes of being fully immersed in Mattâs poker journey, I looked down at the clock and 1.5 had zoomed by like magic.
The bad news I did that thing again where I only asked my guests two of my prepared questions. The good news is Mattâs going to come back on in the very near future and mesmerize me once again.
When our Round 2 goes down I fully expect to share with you some behind-the-scenes stories featuring the late, great Gavin Smith.
In todayâs conversation with Matt, youâre going to hear stories about:
His first ever live poker experience which involves him leaving his High School to head to the smoky casino and his friend hitting the Royal Flush jackpot.
The time he sat down at $20/$40 NL in Commerce with his entire bankroll in action so that he could win enough money to buy in directly to the LAPC Main Event the following day.
The story of how his bankroll exploded with a 6-figure day where he took down an FTOPs event he didnât even wanna play.
And much, MUCH more!
And before you dive into todayâs episode, if youâd like to support CPG while also taking the necessary first step towards playing winning cash game poker, Preflop Bootcamp fires up on the last Saturday of every month.
The place to check it out is ChasingPokerGreatness.com/bootcamp

#106: Matt Marinelli: High Stakes Cash Animal, Poker Detox Legend, & Co-Founder of BigBetU
Todayâs guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is high stakes cash game animal, Poker Detox legend, and co-founder of BigBetU Matt Marinelli.
Marinelli was a long-time member and coach of the Poker Detox crew and another one of those guys I got to spend a fairly significant amount of time interacting with during the Atlanta Detox retreat back in March.
In a recent Poker Power Hour where Jason Su was guest hosting, Jason asked me why I thought Marinelli had reached the level of success he has and I told him that I just felt like the dude didnât have an ego.
Heâs not one to outright dismiss differing opinions or feel overly sensitive when another player critiques hisplay. He simply listens to the feedback, takes what he believes is valuable, upgrades his game, and then disregards the rest.
When youâre constructed in this way as a human being and surround yourself with some of the best poker players and minds on the planet, there is no alternative destination than experiencing massive poker success.
In Matt Marinelli and Iâs conversation, youâre going to learn:
Why your poker tribe is everything.
Mattâs daily process for improving his poker game.
Why not all poker coaches are created equally and our suggestions on finding one whoâs a good fit.
And much, MUCH more!
So without any further ado, I bring to you one of the very best online no limit hold âem players in the entire universe, Matt Marinelli.
