Yoo what is happening my friend? Welcome to the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast, as always this is your host the founder of Enhance Your Edge Brad Wilson.

Ari has over 7 million dollars in live tournament winnings, was the number 1 ranked online player for tournaments in 2006, and is currently the 35th ranked tournament player in the world according to the global poker index.

Coming off of a scorching hot LAPC with 2 wins and 2 runner-ups, Ari is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

In our conversation we’re going to cover a TON of ground including Ari’s experiences with backers, unexpected acts of kindness in the poker world, and stepping out of your comfort zone when you see your fellow human beings being mistreated.

You’ll also learn:

– How Ari used online trolls to improve his game.

– What Ari believes is an ELITE return on investment for every tournament you enter (Hint, it was much different than what I had previously believed.
