Watch this very short video below.
It looks like the great game of PLO may have to take a back seat as Joey Ingram makes a segue into the world of Daily Fantasy Sports.
It all started in the run up to the NFL Season when Ingram’s Poker Life Podcast deviated slightly from its usual format and instead focused on the the world of DFS. The likes of Assani Fisher, Adam Levitan and Jonathan Bales all formed part of the line up.
Ever since then it seems Ingram has the DFS bug as a new series of videos documenting his progress in DFS GPP’s and tournaments has appeared along side his normal poker life vids.
And if that all wasn’t enough, Ingram has landed himself a Sunday Night Sweat Show with RotoGrinders where you can sweat the contests in real time with the man himself.
You can watch the first show from last Sunday’s Sweat Show below.
Congrats Joey!
It even seems Ingram wants to run up his bankroll to $100K by the time the season is over. In which case, we’re pretty sure he needs to be using our DFS bankroll tracker, RotoTracker.

So when I saw that Tonkaaaa was streaming on Twitch a Bolt Casino virtual reality poker match, I wondered how good it would actually be. But it turns out, really quite good.
Tonkaaaa teamed up with LuckyVR to “bring a fresh take on VR streaming by playing some heads-up poker matches with friends.”
For those of you who want in on the action, the game will run on PC with the Oculus Rift new touch controllers.
And Tonkaaaa isn’t the only poker pro who seems to be on the VR bandwagon. Check out Liv Boeree in the background of this pic!
