I've been in poker for 20 years. I built one of the largest companies in the industry for online pros. I played in every major private game in Vegas. And I saw something that made me walk away from playing completely. STAX wasn’t just a business decision—it was a necessity.

🚨Countdown to $100,000 FREE Content Drop: 🚨 MDA didn’t exist when I needed it most. So in 2016, I started paving a new path. Nine years later, it’s been battle-tested and refined—compressed for clarity, speed, and edge. This is the final version.

This is the MDA system our top players used up through 2024. It helped build world-class players like Matt Marinelli. And it's all you need to become a clear winner at high stakes. This is the most compressed version ever. It's free. 100 seats only. 🔗 Apply in bio

We’re about to release the same system that top NL cash players used to pay $100K for— For free. Normally, we'd recruit you, run you through a coaching-for-profits contract, and earn that $100K over time. But our model has shifted.

But what happens when a recreational player realizes the game isn't what they signed up for? 🔹 They stop trusting 🔹 They stop showing up 🔹 Eventually, they stop playing poker altogether I watched this cycle repeat in every major game in the city. Recreationals either leave

I’ve always hated sales. Not because I don’t get it—but because for the guys I work with, it’s pointless. There shouldn’t be a gap between the value of something and a person’s ability to see it. Two years ago, I stopped trying to close that gap. I started focusing on

Someone asked me the other day what determines whether someone actually pays back money they owe. Here’s my take (just my opinion): They don’t believe any excuse justifies delay or avoidance—whether the other person’s doing well financially or they themselves are struggling.

MDA didn’t exist when I needed it. I built what I wish I had—then refined it for nine years through real player feedback. This is the final version. Compressed. Proven. Free. Enjoy.

Private poker should be simple: ✅ Show up ✅ Get a great game ✅ Have a great experience But if you’ve played long enough, you know it’s not that easy. Too many games are built to run, not to last.
