#26 Fedor Holz: #1 Poker Player 2016, $32 Million in Live Tourney Winnings, & 2x Online MTT POY

My guest today is, indisputably, one of the greatest players to ever sit down at a poker table. He came onto the scene like a hurricane and swept away anyone and everyone in his path to being the number one ranked poker player in the world

And then, equally as abruptly, decided to call it a day and retire.

All before the age of 26.

Today I am joined by Fedor Holz.

Fedor, originally from Germany, has absolutely dominated both live and online poker tournaments during his career. He’s earned more than $40 million, taking down several multi-million dollar cashes along the way.

He has a WSOP bracelet and his WSOP circuit results as listed on WSOP.com show him with 12 cashes totalling just over $11.9 million. Among those are:

A 1st place finish in the High-Roller for One Drop, $111,111 buy-in, for $4.9m + his bracelet
A 2nd place finish in The Big One for One Drop, $1m buy-in, for $6m

He’s ranked as #1 on the all-time money list for Germany, and 8th in the world.

He was ranked as the #1 poker player in the world in 2016 as well as being ranked #1 in the world for online poker in 2014 and 2015.

My conversation with Fedor covers what got him into the game, his unique perspectives on poker and life, what it was like to truly achieve poker greatness and reach the top, and finally, his surprising decision to leave the game.

He’ll let you in on the importance of physical tells in live poker and what you should be looking for, as well as why you should stop looking for cut and dry solutions and instead strive to build your poker strategy around logic.

Oh and you’ll also learn Fedor’s method to super-accelerate your learning and the amazing results he’s achieved simply by connecting talented people to one another.

By the time you’ve finished listening to this podcast, you will undoubtedly be inspired to get to work on something you are passionate about, no matter what that might be.

Thank you very much once again for listening and now...This is Chasing Poker Greatness featuring Fedor Holz.
