Weekend At The Wynn: Clickbait & Poker

If you're looking for a new horse to stake on the tournament circuit, you may do well to take a peek at Jeff Sluzinski, aka Jeff Boski.

Sluzinski, who plays under the 'ICuRaRook' moniker on PokerStars, joined the ranks of poker vloggers last November and has been absolutely crushing it at the tables ever since. He closed out December with back-to-back-to-back victories three Fridays in a row at the Wynn in a $225 rebuy that added more than $27k to his lifetime earnings of $623,477.

A potential four-peat was halted only because the event fell on New Year's Eve and was canceled. But that didn't stop Boski's run good, as he landed 7th in a $250 buy-in Superstack for $6,230 on Dec. 27, as well as a 4th place finish two days before Christmas in a $200 event.

A Change of Scenery

The tournament-playing vlogger has been a poker pro for more than a decade, reaching as high as 4th in the world on OfficialPokerRankings.com in 2009. Black Friday in 2011 forced a change in Sluzinski's routine that included a move to Canada and more appearances in live tournament action.

But as his vlogs would indicate, Boski's back in Vegas, seemingly to stay. That's good news for the massage parlors that Sluzinski frequents in town, and good news for his favorite Instagram models, who salaciously appear in Boski's recent vlog in between his hand analyses and comments.

While the likes of Abigail Ratchford and Sommer Ray will certainly attract more fans thanks to Boski's promotion of their assets on his vlog, it seems that not everyone takes kindly to viewing the lovely ladies.

A poker player interested in improving his or her game recently asked on Reddit, "Any good live poker youtube vloggers?" That question was answered by a poster with mentions of Andrew Neeme, Kevin Martin, Doug Polk and The Trooper.

But there was also this comment:

"There's also a guy named Jeff Boski. He does some hand analysis but it's more about his tournament play. He made a SUPER creepy video about his favorite Instagram girl and it was so fucking weird, I stopped following him."

I guess you can't please everybody.
