What do you do for a living?’ “CRUSH!”
As answers go it’s a pretty good one, and YouTube vlogger Jeff Boski shares a number of amusing and interesting nuggets about his life in his latest effort – a Q&A which has been a long time coming for fans of the poker pro from the Detroit suburbs with the Southern drawl!
‘Do you have a girlfriend?’ asks one nosey follower of the MTT crusher, to which – stoney-face and eyebrows-raised Boski replies deadpan:
"No. No. No. I can’t afford a girlfriend…physically, mentally, financially…not yet!”
The former call-centre sales team supervisor only turned his hand to poker-vlogging quite recently, but has already made a mark with his trademark humorous and enlightening approach to casino tournament life. So much so that he has an important announcement to make – but not in this vlog, you’ll have to wait a few days for that exclusive!
Back to his Q&A, Jeff explains his poker beginnings: “A lot of my friends were playing poker, some doing very well, so I decided to give it a try,” says the big man who dropped out of University of Michigan after two and a half years to pursue other things in life.
Starting out online back in the day Boski tells us, he was making $100 a day playing $0.25/0.50 cash games on Party Poker, before following a friend’s $11K MTT success online and giving the tournament scene a go – soon rising up the stakes and getting backed for bigger events.
The graph he displays of his ‘sick heater’ in 2009 is enough to make any poker-pro wannabe jealous, but Boski’s approach to YouTube vlogging doesn’t inspire such feelings at all – a genuinely nice guy sharing his enjoyment of the poker life with fellow players.
He covers a lot more in his revealing 15 minute session, but it wouldn’t make sense if I told you everything here – and then pointed you to his vlog! Instead, have a listen to the big man yourself, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
In any event, you’ll likely be hearing a lot more about poker’s fastest-rising vlogger on PokerTube’s pages over the coming weeks and months – after all, how to CRUSH poker for a living is something we all want to hear about isn’t it?
