Tournament Poker Project follows Jonno and Tain, two neurodivergent players (ADHD and autism/ASD) from Essex in the UK. Join them as they start from almost nothing as they meander their world through poker, GTO, online play, live MTTs, in an attempt to improve their poker skills (and bank roll) enough to play at the World Series of Poker. Each episode they share their progress, what new things they're learning or improving, and then apply that to poker hands they've played.
