However, I wouldn't mind seeing the other side of the story. The one where 22 year old guys drive around in Lambos, Corvettes, Ferraris and the rest. Buy houses equipped with 6k$ beds, gigantic plasma/lcd screens, monster hardware and furniture. High-end dining and partying, traveling around, playing golf etc.
Fair enough but I don´t think it would come close to the depth of Zeebo´s episode. When you want to see rich people spending their money the funds of this (ie online poker) could become somewhat irrelevant which makes a big difference.
how about making the next documentary in thailand, focusing on some of the medium/high-stakes players there? totally different lifestyle to what zeebo is living.
how the f did you play poker for a living when you were bi-polar? did you think that that was a good idea taking on poker as a profession being bi-polar?
sometimes poker makes me feel like im bi-polar so cudos to you and being able to do so.
i like the line this where you say, "i figured out how much money i needed to not work again. then i made that much. so now i dont really worry about money."
Kool video. The fiance seemed pretty inside and outside, and just want to Congratulate Zeebo being so honest and loyal to everything what comes to life and poker in general.
I'm glad that online poker exists for these type of guys. Such a genuinely nice, intelligent guy w/absolutely no social abilities that one generally requires to be sucessfull financially in this country.
A big ups to everyone involved in this project well done. Keep them coming.

It all felt natural, because I didn't know I was bipolar until near the end of my poker career. If I had known I was bipolar before starting poker, I probably never would have started.
This may be too personal of a question, and if it is please just ignore:
What are you doing now to combat/deal with Bi-polar disorder. Therapy? Group Therapy? Medications? and if so which ones?
Btw, I really enjoyed the documentary and congrats on getting married.
Also, do you play chess? and if so, how good are you?
P.S. There probably are a decent number of poker players (more than you would normally expect) who are "bi-polar" but don't make it public info like you did. One pro that comes to mind that made it public is Dutch Boyd.
Can someone explain in simple terms what "bipolar" really means? I noticed the "we're gonna get nuked, let's move to Sweden ASAP" part, but I guess it involves more than that.
