Sam is a qualified counsellor and professional poker player based in Auckland, New Zealand.
After 7 years of playing poker recreationally and working as a personal counsellor, he decided to narrow his focus in poker to HUNL in 2019 and used the disruptions of Covid lockdowns to gradually transition into playing online poker professionally.
After experiencing the challenges first hand of supporting a family of 5 children through online poker in a competitive field, he became interested in helping others explore the mindset aspects of the game. He found a great fit at Runitonce.com, where he has the opportunity to contribute poker mindset videos on a regular basis.
These days he splits the year between grinding online HUNL full-time and periods of lecturing counselling undergraduates, enjoying the stimulation of poker strategy, psychology, and the various areas in which these intersect.
