What’s it like being a woman in a game where 95% of the players are men? Olga Iermolcheva knows. And trust me, it’s not what you’d expect. We talk about how she deals with guys who think she’s an easy target at the table (spoiler: they regret it), the wild story of how she almost won a high-stakes tournament she didn’t even plan to enter, and why overthinking at the table cost her more than just chips. Ever heard of a player using zero study tools and STILL crushing tournaments? We get into that too.

Olga’s got goals, hustle, and the mindset to stay passionate about poker without burning out. Plus, there’s the crazy dynamic of poker players soft-playing their friends, the unexpected perks of being underestimated, and some talk about the future of poker itself. Whether you’re here to sharpen your edge or just hear some insane poker stories, you’re in for a ride. Let’s go!
