Casting 6–8 Players for a New Poker Docu-Series
Hey 2p2,
I’m launching a YouTube docu-series designed to bring something back to poker content that’s been missing for a long time:
human stories, real emotion, and the feeling that poker is fun to watch again.
To do that, I’m casting 6–8 poker players for Season 1, which will be 12 episodes long.
Each player will get 10–20 minutes of screen time per episode so viewers can follow their journey in depth.
Poker is the backdrop.
But the show is about people.

The Vision: Make Poker Fun to Watch Again
We want to create a series that even non-poker fans get hooked on.
Not because they understand ranges, but because they understand people:
People chasing dreams
People rebuilding
People balancing family, work, and ambition
People dealing with fear, setbacks, and breakthroughs
People trying to grow into the best version of themselves
Poker is the arena where all that plays out.
This isn’t about solver talk or “look at this sick bluff.”
It’s about the journey, the personalities, the struggles, the wins, and the heart behind the game.
Something real.
Something relatable.
Something fun.

Filming Style
Entirely self-shot (phone is perfect)
I’ll guide exactly what to film
I’ll handle editing, storytelling, and shaping each arc
Authentic > polished
Real > scripted
Each episode will weave together multiple player stories in a way that feels emotional, exciting, and bingeable.

Something that reminds people why we fell in love with this game in the first place.
