Today’s guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is Twitch partner and co-founder of Tournament Poker Edge Derek Tenbusch.Derek is an amazing, amazing dude. He’s one of those rare folks who have been in poker for a very long time and has come to love the poker community even more than the actual game itself.I know that may sound a bit counter-intuitive, especially if you listen to the jaded grinders who are always talking about how slimy folks in our community are, but I 100% get where he’s coming from. Even though multiple students in my community have made massive gains over the last year, including one who’s went from 20k hands per month at $100 nl in September to maintaining a 10 bb/100 winrate over 45k monthly hands at $200 in November, to now shot-taking $1k NL in December…What I genuinely value the most about my community are the relationships I’ve been blessed with and it’s not even a contest.Today in mine and Derek’s conversation you’re going to learn:Exactly why Derek loves the poker community so muchThe hilarious story behind him and his wife’s move L.A. to North Carolina.A Greatness Bomb on finding your why and pursuing life & poker on your terms.And much, MUCH more!So, without any further ado, I bring to you the hilarious and inspiring co-founder of Tournament Poker Edge Derek Tenbusch.New CPG Cash Game Courses!Preflop Bootcamp: https://bit.ly/Preflop-BootcampFish in a Barrel: http://bit.ly/fish-in-a-barrelNeutralize Flop Leads: https://bit.ly/2OkN8Yt

In today’s episode of the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast I am once again joined by cash game crusher, Youtuber, and podcaster Trevor Savage.I got so consumed by Trevor’s story in our first conversation that I forgot to ask him any questions other than “Tell me about your poker journey”.Today, we more than make up for that and then some as he’s about to throw down Greatness Bomb after Greatness Bomb.As a short aside, I’m a little worried about the continuity of this episode because right in the middle of recording I had a gremlin in my internet connection and it just kept dropping over and over and over again.For a little mental imagery, it got so bad I actually left my house so that I could run around my neighborhood and find the Comcast guy who was making our lives miserable. I did find him and, shockingly, he pressed a button and my internet came back like it was no big deal.I highly doubt you’re ever going to hear a Comcast ad on this podcast because they make ACR look like customer service gods.In today’s episode, you’re going to learn:The most unexpected thing to come from Trevor’s journey through poker.What Trevor believes is the most high impact thing you can do to improve your poker game.How Trevor maintains balance as a father and poker professional.And much, MUCH more!This interview is brought to you by Poker w Presence if you wanna get inthe zone and play your best when you need it most visit pokerwithpresence.comSo without any further ado I bring to you an amazing man, top-shelf cardplayer, and unbelievably patient spirit Trevor Savage.New CPG Cash Game Courses!Preflop Bootcamp: https://bit.ly/Preflop-BootcampFish in a Barrel: http://bit.ly/fish-in-a-barrelNeutralize Flop Leads: https://bit.ly/2OkN8Yt
