quote

The house doesn’t need more cheerleaders, players do. Whether I’m unpacking a poker strategy or decoding the small print in casino bonuses, my goal is to arm readers with clarity and context. I enjoy the details others gloss over, the regulations, the odds, the mechanics, because that’s where fairness lives. For me, good editorial isn’t about hype, it’s about giving players the tools to sit at the table with confidence.
