From Bust to Building
A project by Mapz Poker
This is the unfiltered journey of a poker player on the grind. Follow the highs, the lows, the lessons learned, and the ultimate fight to turn a bust into a breakthrough.
The Story
After many years as a successful poker professional, a 3-month bender in Taipei quickly depleted my bankroll to critical levels. Now, I'm on a mission to rebuild and prove that discipline, grit, and a million hands can change everything. This is more than poker; it's a journey of self-improvement and turning life around.
