Thanks HUMBLE, I appreciate it!

I’ve been neglecting this thread. Sorry about that just a bit too much on my plate lately. Some of you might have noticed that I’ve been putting in quite a bit of work into my podcast. We’ve had some great guests so far. Fedor Holz, Steffen Sontheimer, Bencb, Elliot Roe just to name a few. Oh and most recently – Michael Franzese, who used to be a high ranking member of the Colombo Mafia family in New York – yeah, I know some of you might think wtf does he have to do with poker, but check it out and you’ll see the point.

Tomorrow I’ll publish the episode with Phil Galfond and the next few weeks are looking mighty exciting as well. I won’t namedrop just yet, but I’m sure many of you will love the upcoming guests – some big names with amazing stories.

I send out a weekly newsletter talking about my key takeaways from latest episodes. If that’s something you are interested in – subscribe here: https://www.runchukspodcast.com/

I think that this thread shouldn’t be a place for me to talk about the podcast on a regular basis. So I’m starting a new thread in the news section, where I hope to get some feedback about the episodes and the guests.

Well that podcasting thing is quite a hobby I’m really enjoying it. I don’t have specific goals for the podcast yet. The underlying goal is to have fun and do the best job that I can on it. I’m not a perfectionist, but I constantly strive to improve the quality. We’ll see where that leads.

On top of the podcast, I also stream on Twitch regularly as HUMBLE mentioned.

Oh and should I mention, that I still play poker full time? I don’t feel like posting much about me playing poker here, since I already talk about that all the time on my Twitch, but let me know if there’s anything you would want to read in this thread on top of the stuff that you get from Twitch and my Youtube

Hey, just wanted to say i really enjoyed your commentary during the Galfond Challenge. This goes aswell for your Youtube videos and Twitch streams, keep it going!

just awesome thread, will check the podcast!

Thank you for the content, really appreciate it

Hey Runchuks. Have you posted your results somewhere? I can't seem to find them...

You are a great interviewer btw, awesome podcasts!

Hey, thanks! I didn't post my results anywhere.

I had a 3-week break from poker. Back in the games for the last few days and I have to say - I'm bored. Not much action during the time of the day when I'd like to play, so even though I spent about 36h at the tables in the last three days, I actually played only a fraction of that time. Quite annoying, but oh well - it's summer. Therefore starting from Monday I will stream on Twitch for about 2 hours every day (Mon-Fri) from 3pm CEST. That's a tentative schedule, the exact time might change.

Gonna be playing PLO cash-games and maybe will dabble in mixed games as well. What would you guys want to see (stakes, games, sites)? And what would you want to see in this thread? Is posting some hands from those sessions cool or boring?

I got my ass kicked (well, at least spanked) on stream yesterday. Good thing I'm planning to stream every day this week. Kind of curious, what's gonna be the result after 5 days of streaming.

Day 1 (2 tables of PLO200 Zoom):

Today is better. Played only 1 table. Much easier to keep track of things while interacting with the chat

Day #2 PLO500 Zoom 1 table

Not happy with the way I played today - very low level of focus, but sometimes u don't need to play well to win.

Day #3 (1 table PLO200 + 15min of 1 table PLO1000)

Hey man, i really enjoy your content. It's good to see you streaming more often.

Thanks man

Here are the results for day #4 (PLO500 Zoom 1 table)

Could you tell us more about your challenge?

Sure It's not much of a challenge. I committed to streaming poker 5 days in a row this week (Mon-Fri). That's basically it, just having fun on the stream. High stakes action is slow atm, so going on twitch sounded like a fun thing to do.

Well that was fun. streaming 5 days in a row, Monday to Friday... almost like a real job!?

Day #5 (PLO200 Zoom 2 tables)

Here are the results from yesterday's session. Had a bit of action on 5k table just before starting the stream, so not all of the winnings are actually from the streamed session

Day #6 (2 tables PLO200 zoom, + 1 table PLO1000 + a bit of PLO5000)


going live for another session shortly
