054 Chris "Apotheosis" Kruk on Learning Multiple Games and Coaching For Beer Money - a podcast by Elliot Roe

Chris “Apotheosis” Kruk is a multiple game specialist and respected poker coach.

His career started when he took a semester off school and gave poker a shot instead of working a conventional job. A month after starting off at NL100 Zoom he found himself all the way up at NL500 Zoom.

Unlike other players who found poker success in university, Chris went back and finished his degree, coaching on the side to earn a living (and some beer money).

In his 4 years as a pro he’s become proficient in many forms of poker. He started at NL cash, moved to PLO cash, tried his hand at 8-game, and has recently decided to focus on NL MTTs.

He’s also a video producer for Run It Once and MTT coach for the BitB staking group.
