(https://table1.vegas)------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew “AMO4SHO” Moreno joins Art Parmann (https://x.com/artparmann) & Justin Young (https://x.com/JustinYoung07) for a wide-ranging poker life story that starts in small-stakes online heads-up battles…and somehow ends with a $1.4M Wynn Millions score. All while coaching, staking, and trying to balance the tournament grind with being a husband + super dad.We talk: the true origin of “AMO4SHO” (and sibling rivalry) quitting college the moment poker “clicked” the degenerate heads-up era (when nobody had tools and everyone was kinda bad) the $3,300 online sit-n-go where he triple-barreled ace high for his bankroll…then took a limo to celebrate and met his wife, Kristy building (and later taking over) a live cash-game stable + coaching mindset leveling up into tournaments with Chris Brewer coaching the run that turned into Win Millions and a life-changing score why the PokerGO Studio can be “too fun” (aka: too easy to fire more bullets) travel costs, taxes, and why he’s playing less this year👇 Drop a comment with your favorite “I can’t believe that worked” bluff story.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Show Notes 00:00 Justin’s Therapy Session 03:45 Early Life & Gaming 12:15 Finding Poker & Choosing Heads Up Sit n Go’s 24:00 Justin The Celebrity! 27:10 The Night He Met His Wife 30:30 Getting Backing & How to Run A Stable Without Going Broke 41:30 Getting into Tournaments & Chris Brewer Coaching 44:07 The Wynn Millions $1.4 Milly Win 52:14 The Tourney Bug 55:43 PGT Thoughts 59:10 Family Changes Things 1:03:50 Coaching & The Future------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Andrew's Links: Get Coached By Andrew: https://www.amo4sho.com/ X: https://x.com/Amo4sho IG: https://www.instagram.com/amo4sho Skill Game Mafia Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@SkillGameMafia------------------------------------------------------------------------------------T1 Links Phenom Poker (Daily MTTs + deposit bonus): https://play.phenompoker.com/register?r=Table1 First-time depositors can get up to 200% on $2,000 when you use our link.

Luiz Rizental (aka “Brazil God”) is one of those poker guys where the résumé sounds fake… but somehow it’s all real: Brazil-born kid → moves to Austin at 9 → full immersion, no ESL, straight into American school SMU soccer player → investment banking during the 2009 crash → then full-time trader addicted to volatility Never played poker seriously until 2017 → loses $1,000, then $60,000 in a week during the pandemic app-game boom Break-even became the goal → survival mode turned into studying, stream games, and eventually an NBC Heads-Up Championship runIn this episode, Art (https://x.com/artparmann) and Justin (https://x.com/justinyoung07) sit down with Brazil God to talk about: How trading and poker are similar… and why poker is way more dangerous psychologically Why you can make a terrible decision in poker and still get rewarded (and how that messes with your brain) The $60K week that forced him to actually learn strategy Why most “smart” people stay bad at poker forever Hustler stream games, personality vs strategy, and whether he’s “putting on a show” The ACR shirt troll vs Nacho (and the 11-minute cooler that ended it) Playing Justin in the NBC Heads-Up Championship and the Brian Rast shirt revenge arc Why he hates tournaments… and why he loves sweating pieces insteadIf you’ve ever wondered what happens when a high-volatility trader walks into a poker room and refuses to take it too seriously—this is it.🎯 Play on Phenom PokerDaily MTTs are live.
