About

The short version.

I've been playing poker since 2007. Shy kid from a tiny Polish village who fell in love with the game, burned out, walked away — and came back with a completely different perspective.

In between, I built Poker Academy — a GTO training platform used by hundreds of players daily. I wrote a Letter to Poker that reached 4,600 people. I played the WSOP final table wearing a white-and-red jersey with the Polish eagle on the chest.

Now I teach what I know: the intersection of game theory, mindset, and building things.
