Robbie Strazynski shares his story, from an MA in English Linguistics through his work as an employee in the online gaming industry and the random decision to start a site called Cardplayer Lifestyle as a “nights and weekends” side gig to taking the leap to self-employment. He shares life lessons from his time and travels working in poker media.  

Along the way he teaches us about how to measure failure, the importance of doing something you love, and more.   

Robbie is the founder and owner of CardplayerLifestyle.com where he publishes interviews with top poker personalities, poker strategy articles and course reviews, op-eds, and lifestyle pieces. His site features coverage of top-tier live poker events and festivals as well as stories about fascinating lesser-known happenings in the poker world that casual fans don’t always get to hear about.  And he established the Mixed Game Festival which he has hosted in both Las Vegas and Europe.
