can listen to european forever, seems like a really great person
''Have fun at the table, not take it so seriously. You're going to die anyways so have fun at the tables playing''. It's insane to listen to this end boss thoughts about game and life in general. The best 2 hours of poker content in my life for sure! 🙌
Incredible podcast and what an incredibly grounded and humble human being. This was my introduction to the podcast and couldn't have been better.
Was literally sitting there yesterday thinking I hope they get European on one day. One of the best to play the game
great presence and innerwork has been done here, thank you🙏
Any chance of ever getting Linus on here? Would maybe break the poker internet 🙏🏼

What a legend, one of if not the best pod ive hard on this channel.
and he just won another scoop yesterday so sick
Thanks for making this!
Looking forward to this 😍 best podcast in the game!
new fave channel! amazing stuff guys
Great episode!
Damn, looking forward to this!
best one so far
Amazing stuff !
congratulations for this video, voce sao demais!!!
Omg this will be huge
I have no doubt that before dying Rene would like to have one of these interviews with Linus, because of all the cash games scenario that it implies and how Linus breaks all the parameters used to dominate the game to this day. Linus strategies have no expiration date. It is absolutely delirious to see him have +1000bb in NL40k+.
What is the coaching site european is talking about ?
best content while grinding
Ok that's a sick guest 🙏
In in the party poker day 2 11 dollar bounty tournament about mid position any tips
Around 10:50 he mentions a poker youtuber, Yuri something? Anyone know what channel he's talking about?

Pretty sure European has a 99 score on shark scope. The man’s unbelievably good
The goat

I haven't awaited a yt vid so keenly for a long time 🎉🎉🎉
If these players are crushing it, how do they overcome the variance with playing MTTs.
literally if u are in poker u can listen to european forever
What's the site he keeps mentioning? Bip? Is this a poker study page? Great episode - very simpatico!

BitB, it’s their cfp coaching program
46:10 If he is capable to take days off why the fuck would i not take day off 49:20 Focus! 1:04:07 1:12:40 not memorize, understand the fundamentals using solvers, find ideas that might apply in other spots (2 HC or MC boards) 1:16:30 Doesnt have a systematic approach, 15 hours of work in an interesting spot and share the findings
End Boss.
Great as always 🙌Continuing with the Finnish track, would love to hear from (retired) players Fiilismies / Jeans89 / Jakeeeeeeeee
