Episode 106: Tyler Patterson

In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Justin Young (https://x.com/justinyoung07) and Art Parmann (https://x.com/artparmann) sit down with Tyler Patterson — one of the most respected live tournament pros in poker — to unpack a career built on patience, discipline, and long-term thinking.

Tyler shares how he quit college after discovering poker, transitioned from card dealer to full-time player, and built an 18-year backing relationship that helped him survive downswings, avoid burnout, and eventually win at the highest levels of the game.

We cover:

How Tyler went from $4,000 bankrolls to $575,000 tournament scores
Why long-term backing relationships matter (and how they actually work)
Winning a WSOP bracelet in 2014, a WPT title, and a second WSOP bracelet in 2025
The realities of live poker vs online poker
Navigating poker during COVID — including chopping a major event mid-pandemic
Moving to Barbados for two years and learning online poker from scratch
Prop bets, golf gambling, and life with Matt Affleck & Matt Savage
Why patience beats talent in poker careers
What it takes to stay relevant in poker at 40+

This is a real poker career story — no shortcuts, no fake hype, just years of grinding, smart decisions, and staying in the game long enough for the wins to come.

If you’re a poker player, tournament grinder, or just love behind-the-scenes stories from the poker world, this one’s for you.
