Episode Title | #38 Alex "Assassinato" Fitzgerald: $3.7 Million Tournament Winnings, Author, and Legendary Poker Coach |
Full Episode Description | My guest is Alexander “Assassinato” Fitzergald who has cashed for over $4 million in online and live tournaments, is the author of 2 poker books (Exploitative Play in Live Poker and The Myth of Poker Talent), and has almost certainly done more private coaching lessons than anyone else on the planet.Alex has accomplished all of this despite a self-professed “Lack of natural poker talent”. How is that something you can overcome, you might ask? Grit, hard work, finding your tribe, and always, always, always understanding the “why” behind the plays you’re making at the tables.It’s safe to say there are greatness bombs aplenty in this episode from why it’s actually a GOOD THING that you get berated at the tables when playing smaller stakes, how coaching whether you’re currently winning or losing can help you ascend and reach your poker goals faster than you think is possible, and why we should all regularly pick up new hobbies to learn so that we can get comfortable knowing we don’t know everything about everything.You’re also going to learn:- How a life disruption motivated Alex to become the best version of himself.- Why live poker doesn’t evolve and change as quickly as online poker.- Alex’s favorite memory traveling and playing cards (Which almost feels like a scene straight out of a movie).- Why just playing cards, win or lose, makes Alex feel alive.- And MUCH more!So, without any further ado, here’s my conversation with one of the best and brightest poker minds in the world Alexander “Assassinato” Fitzgerald. |
