I Met the Homeless Millionaire, Faraz Jaka!
One of the most interesting players I talked to while I was covering the Punta Cana Poker Classic for Americas Cardroom was Faraz Jaka. Maybe you've heard of him?! He's a professional poker player with over $8 million in career earnings -- and he's homeless! He’s travelling the world from tournament to tournament so much that he gave up his home entirely years ago. Now he lives from a suitcase with just the essentials: a few pieces of clothing and a laptop.
I dunno... The nomadic lifestyle sounds kind of appealing. At first. But I'm thinking there has to be a catch.. I'd miss my stuff, wouldn't you?!
“I’ve just been playing all week. There’s a high roller event here today too so I haven’t even got to the beach, haven’t been in the pool. I’m on tour hardcore for the rest of the season – I’m going to Macau, I’m going to Prague… where else… oh ya, I’m going to Florida… I’ve got a lot of poker in front of me so I need a beach day. I might make that a priority today!”
“I obviously love being on the road. That’s why I do it, but there’s definitely some things that you wish you had. It can get frustrating sometimes."
“Even just, you know, I do a lot of my shopping on Amazon, just everyday shaving needs, all the right organic products I need, and sometimes it’s really hard to do that when you’re abroad and don’t have an address for them to deliver too!”
“On my way to Macau I have eighteen hours in Chicago. So I’m, like, messaging my Chicago friends – hey, want to meet for dinner? And can I send like five Amazon deliveries to your place? And can you bring them to dinner!?”
I asked Faraz what advice he’d give a some he said to just be careful about getting caught up in the jet set poker lifestyle. First class flights… fancy restaurants… five star hotels… If you want to last, better to stay grounded.
Apparently Twitch poker guru Doug Polk hadn’t heard that advice! After indulging in the lifestyle the night before he slept through the first three levels of Day 2!
Neither of these pros made it to the Final Table, but they’ll be there to cheer them on and to see who walks away with nearly $150 grand.
Our video features highlights of our interview with Faraz Jaka. The full version is on the Americas Cardroom poker news blog: Faraz Yaka on the Downside of the Poker Lifestyle.

In My 3rd Video from Punta Cana I Talk to a Young Player from Missouri
I love meeting players at poker tournaments who are experiencing the thrills of an action packed live tournament for the first time. In the third episode of my Living the Dream: Punta Cana Poker Classic 2016 videos I aught up with Tyler, from Missouri. This was his first big tournament -- in fact this was his first time in a plane and first time out of America! He won his way to the Caribbean in an online tournament at Americas Cardroom and is thoroughly enjoying living the dream at the Caribbean poker tournament.
“I’ve never even been on a plane before, and I’ve only ever played poker online, so I sure was nervous coming down here,” Tyler told Living the Dream host, Larry Colcy (aka TheGamblogger). “But I’ve got 71,000 chips going into Day 2 so I’m feeling pretty good about now!”
Last year the winner of the tournament pocketed over $185,000 of the $500,000 prize pool. Like many players, Tyler has already thought about what he’ll do if he wins some money at the tournament.
“If I just place, that’s good enough for me. But if I win I guess I’ll buy some stuff for my car,” said Tyler. “Folks back home won’t be surprised to hear that! I guess I’d invest a lot of it – and set some aside to go to the WSOP and try my luck in Las Vegas!”
For a tournament newbie, a big event like the Punta Cana Poker Classic, and all the professional players that it attracts, can be a bit frightening.
“I was pretty nervous at first. I was playing really tight. After a while I started opening up. My image made everyone think I must have something, so I was winning most of the pots.”
My full interview with Tyler is on the Americas Cardroom poker news blog. On the Winning Poker Network, Americas Cardroom is one of the biggest and most trusted US facing poker rooms.
Playing the Punta Cana Poker Classic is a Big Deal for Young Americas Cardroom Player
I don't think I've met a poker player that’s living the dream quite as truly as a player I chatted with last night at the Punta Cana Poker Classic. Tyler, a young player from Missouri, won his way to Punta Cana in a satellite tournament at Americas Cardroom, the biggest US poker room. He more than survive Day 1 -- he’s got over 70,000 chips and thinks he's is in the Top 20 heading into Day 2!
My video today has highlights of our conversation. The full version is on the Americas Cardroom poker news blog.
Tyler’s never played an action packed live tournament like the Punta Cana Poker Classic. In fact, he’d never even been on a plane before this epic trip!
“If I just place, that’s good enough for me. But if I win I guess I’ll buy some stuff for my car,” said Tyler. “Folks back home won’t be surprised to hear that! I guess I’d invest a lot of it – and set some aside to go to the WSOP and try my luck in Las Vegas!”
There's lots of young guys playing here this week, but Tyler's gotta be about the youngest.
“I guess if I start to feel too intimidated I’ll just put on my sunglasses,” he laughed.
“This next day could be a little difficult, since the antes and the big blinds… But as long as I play good – not too tight and not too aggressive – I should be fine.
I'll keep my eye on Tyler through Day 2 tonight and, hopefully, will see him at the Final Table on Sunday. I'll have one more video episode with final results on Monday.

Punta Cana Poker Classic – Better than at the Hard Rock!
Americas Cardroom players at the Punta Cana Poker Classic agree: the move to the new location was a good idea! Better food… closer to the beach… and the new Poker 2.0 game rocks!
I arrived in the Caribbean yesterday just as the players were sitting down to the Main Event, Day 1a – everyone excited and hoping they’ll be the one take home the big prize. Like Luis Yepez did last year. He took home more than $185k!
This video has highlights from the full version which is available exclusively at the Americas Cardroom poker news blog:
This year the Punta Cana Poker Classic moved from the Hard Rock to the Melia Tropicale – a wise move, according to a couple of regulars.
“I never thought we could do better than the Hard Rock, but this place is really nice,” Steven Schillenberg, who’s been playing this event for eight or nine years, told me.
“The new game that they have, the 2.0, it’s actually really, really good,” said John Lets, another player from the trusted US poker room who’s been coming to this event for many years. “I’m really getting into it! I think the more you play it you’ll enjoy it even more.
I'll be speaking with more online players living the dream in the Caribbean and will have another video for you tomorrow.

Headin' South for the Punta Cana Poker Classic
I'm on my way to the Caribbean again with another group of online poker players. This time Americas Cardroom is sponsoring my big poker adventure! More than 120 of the US poker room's players will be in Dominican Republic for the action packed Punta Cana Poker Classic. I’ll be there with video cameras so you can see what it’s like to win your way to a big money live tournament.
I’ll be hanging out with Americas Cardroom players and chatting with them in my videos. Twitch poker guru Doug Polk will be with us too so I’ll have comments from him on the tournament as well. Faraz Jaka, the Homeless Millionaire, will also be with the ACR entourage! (CNN gave him that nickname when they found out he’s won millions in poker tournaments all over the world – but doesn’t have a home and lives out of a backpack.)
I'll have highlights here but my full videos from Punta Cana will be available only in the Americas Cardroom poker news, The Big Blind. There's a preview article there now: Americas Cardroom is Living the Dream at the Punta Cana Poker Classic.
Check back October 27th for my first video from the Punta Cana Poker Classic.

Four Online Champions on Their Way to $500K PPC Aruba with Intertops Poker & Juicy Stakes
This summer, Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker hosted a series of online satellite tournaments for the $500K PPC Aruba tournament. Four online satellite champions will be travelling to the Caribbean together to compete at the massive live tournament that begins November 2nd.
One member of the team, Joan Sandoval, placed 6th in the $5000 GTD at PPC Aruba last year and is looking forward to playing the Main Event this year.
“I know a lot of my competition in Aruba, actually. I know it is going to be a tough crowd with a lot of good professional players” said Joan from her home in Wisconsin.
“My strategy in any bigger tournament is to play one hand at a time and concentrate on just my table and not so much everyone around me. I like to just study the people and limit big pots in the beginning and try to play premium hands...try to get a solid image on the table so I can make my occasional bluff.”
Joan will be joined by Tim O’Keefe and John Curcuru, both professional poker players.
When he’s not grinding online at Intertops, Tim plays mostly in casinos in Texas where he lives and in nearby Oklahoma. He also travels to Foxwoods a few times a year. This is the third time that Tim, who only recently quit his day job and turned pro, has won his way to a major live tournament like this.
No stranger to the casinos of Las Vegas where he lives, this is the second Intertops/Juicy Stakes junket for John. Also an avid chess player, John joined the Intertops team at the TKPT tournament in St Maarten this spring.
“It’s great travelling with a group like this,” said John. “The camaraderie really helps you cope with the pressure of the tournament. Intertops took very good care of us last time so I’m really looking forward to joining them again!”
The fourth member of the team is Texas poker mom Ashley Hine. Ashley works with her father building luxury custom homes but hits the casino several times a week. PPC Aruba will be her fourth live tourney.
“I expect the players to be a smart, tight group, everyone hoping to make money and make a name for themselves. I think it’ll take massive determination and discipline. I always say it’s not the hands you, play but the folds you make that can make you a great player.”
All four online satellite tournament champions won $5000 prize packages that include $2,400 buy-in to the Main Event (November 4th – 7th) and accommodation on Palm Beach at the Hilton or Hyatt Resort. Their prize packages also include travel expenses, one $200 tournament buy-in and one $300 buy-in, as well as Intertops or Juicy Stakes gear and dinner and a night out with the Intertops/Juicy Stakes team.
The PPC Aruba World Championship is one of the most exotic stops on the Poker Players Championships circuit, now in its fourth season, which includes high stakes events all over America.
“We’ve taken players to a bunch of live tournaments like this,” said Intertops’ Poker Manager. “We picked this one because there will be lots of poker action, lots of opportunities to win some cash – but also lots of time to enjoy some fun in the sun!”

South African Casino's Halloween Quiz Awarding Free Spins and R3000 Bonuses
There was a time when only North Americans celebrated Halloween but it's really started catching on in Europe as well. Trick or treating has become increasingly popular in South Africa lately too. South Africa's Springbok Casino has a Super Funny Scary Halloween Quiz this month that's giving free spins and casino bonuses up to 3000 Rands to players that know their ghosts and goblins.
When is Halloween? What do pumpkins have to do with it? And what do children collect on Halloween night? Players that answer quiz questions like these will win free spins on popular Halloween slots like Witch’s Brew and Voodoo Magic, up to R3000 deposit bonuses and even R500 free bonuses.

One of the World's 1st Online Casinos Celebrates 18 Years Online
Happy birthday to one of my favourite online casinos! It was 18 years ago this month – about the same time that Google first made its debut -- that Slotland's very first real money slots came online. I know -- hard to believe, isn't it!? I mean, there was barely an internet back then, was there? lol
The games have changed as technology has created new possibilities, but some things will never change. Slotland has been dedicated to customer service since Day 1 and continues to be know for treating customers right.
To celebrate its 18th birthday, Slotland is offering a series of casino freebies and bonuses throughout the month, and a brand new game will be unveiled next week.
The unique casino is currently offering 70% match bonuses and holding a $6500 Birthday Giveaway. Next week, a new game will be released and there will be a $100 freebie and up to 250% deposit bonuses. Later this month there will be more freebies and 75-200% slots bonuses.
It’s been a big year for Slotland. Over the years, they've created lots of one-of-a-kind slot machines not available at any other online casino. Its in-house designers created another amazing new slot game this year -- Phantom of the Opera -- but their focus has been more on video poker lately. Six new video poker games have been introduced since last fall: Deuces and Joker Wild, Joker Wild, 10s or Better, All American, Aces and 8s and Double Bonus Poker.
Phantom of the Opera takes players on a romantic journey backstage at the Paris Opera House. It’s a five reel slot with 4 rows that create more possible winning combinations than the usual 3-row slot. With a choice between Low and Hi bets, it has a very wide betting range: as little as 30 coins ($.30) per spin up to a max bet of1500 coins ($15).
Most of Slotland’s games are tied to one progressive jackpot. During its 17th birthday celebrations last fall, Charles M. won the site-wide jackpot that had climbed to $207,619 playing the retro-style Grand Fortune slot. Then in June, Samuel J won $223,167 – one of the casino’s biggest payouts ever -- playing the Air Mail slot game. Last spring, Slotland celebrated the 10th anniversary of its first mobile jackpot win, a record-breaking $163,114 progressive jackpot won on its first mobile slot game, Lucky Stars.
