Dasty “Leatherass” Schmidt
He called himself “the most successful poker player ever”. Beyond the immense ego it was truly a phenomenon, which has accumulated millions of hands played and, above all, millions of dollars. How many is not known, certainly paid a high price, perhaps very high, for having them. In 2013 he admitted that playing for several hours online is bad for the brain. In reality, he then specified that it brings changes to the brain, so he was found to be able to understand all levels of interpretation, even of topics with which he was not familiar. But, at the same time, having to live with devastating anxiety, which led him to no longer be able to have conversations with his wife, or to play with his daughter.

And then came the clear break, the passion for golf, but also for alcohol and the need to understand the origin of the problem. The answer he gave himself was: too many hours of online poker have ruined him. So maximum, according to him, 5-10 hours a week, with breaks of two hours during the session. Anyway, his book “Poker Business”, which literally enchanted me, is the Bible. He teaches you management like no other text, then you have to know how to put it into practice, and you can see the difference between saying and doing… An exceptional teacher who has learned the lesson on his own skin. He said of him: “: If I were a basketball player I would be a Kobe Bryant”. Unfortunately it reached him in heaven”.
