What if the game isn’t solved? What if the best player alive right now… is a 25-year-old Brit who just soul-read me on the river with ace-queen high?

In this episode I sit down with Owen “Pr0digy” Messere—aka possibly the #1 heads-up no limit player in the world—and dig deep into the real layers of high-stakes poker. We talk population exploits, psychological warfare, the art of range betting vs chaos, and what actually separates the elite from the elite-elite.

Also… we go off-script. Spiritual scripts. Life as a game. EV as a compass for living. The war between safe strategy and liberating aggression—on and off the felt.

There’s a lot in here. The poker world may never be the same. But maybe that’s the point. Let the real games begin.
