  • Still the best

    Thinking Poker has been the most interesting, thoughtful, and thought-provoking podcast since it started 400 episodes ago (yes I’ve been listening the whole time). And it still is.

    To Andrew, Nate, Carlos, and all the many guests over the years, thanks for all the strategy, knowledge, laughs, and fun.

  • Love the show

    Have been listening for years when it was Andrew and Nate. I miss hearing Nate’s take and insight but Carlos has been a perfect person to take over. The strategy is great and the interviews have been amazing. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
