New Short Poker Documentary with Jason Koon - Poker News

Very interesting short documentary following jakoon at WSOP One Drop and Aria $500k this summer. High-stakes swings are no joke ... massive respect for being able to handle that kind of stress like a boss. Stuff in there with Ivey, Dnegs, Antonio, Seidel, Ike, kingsofcards, WCGRider. Pretty crazy jakoon went from micros to high-stakes, would have liked to hear more about the specifics of that journey but they have some background on how he did it.

Spoiler: Antonio calls him a pos

Kind of anticlimatic but still really enjoyed the premise and quality.

will never understand why these guys playing these kind of tournaments with just 10% or so own action. edge would be too small and way too much stress. but i guess they need the attention etc. otherwise their ego would take a huge hit.

Man tournaments are such skill. I loved the main skill part where he is continually flipping coins. Then he lost coinflips and was out. Maybe he needs to practice more at coinflips.

Jason is the man and seems like a great guy. I thought the film was boring though .. Some good interviews but overall seemed dull

A singing bodybuilder who plays cards for a living! How cool is that? The best thing is that he is considered as a gentleman and nice guy.
For those saying a documentary was boring. If the only thing you seek is an entertainment, then you are doing it wrong. Being inspired is way better than being entertained!
