  • @lightworktrading
    One of the most unanticipated duos lol! Kong from past days of SP and ProjectGO, Rampage from modern poker vlogging scene. What a mix! Funny stories too
  • @ikkyo3
    Happy to have you back Kong

    I see lots of young poker players going broke when getting money early on. Good on you for seeing the bigger picture and investing. Sucks you got scammed but at least your on the right track. Gonna have a great career of poker ahead of you.

    I really like Ethan. I saw his rise from playing at Encore BH to where he really started to gain traction playing in NH post covid. At 26 yrs old, what he has accomplished to date is nothing short of impressive. Especially considering his goal was to become a YT content creator, and poker just happened to be the hobby he decided to vlog. It was never about becoming the best at poker, it was about making the best content possible. Poker is just the appetizer in Ethan's story, we've yet to see the main entree. Regardless, I would not bet against this man. Success is earned, not given. Mad respect 🙏

    Ethan used to live down the street from me. I saw him at the driving range all the time. He's a good dude.

    Rampage is only 26 years old. He has a bright future in the poker industry. He'll be getting sponsors easily.
