Poker and social media have long been close bedfellows. Even in the earliest days of the streaming platform Twitch, Poker was a highly viewed activity and a thriving community soon formed. Today, with so many online providers, poker is bigger than ever and it is only natural that certain influencers have appeared who thrive making content which showcase the game and its many intricacies.
Alexander Wolfgang
Alexander Wolfgang has his finger on the social media pulse, bringing the game to the masses through his use of TikTok and YouTube. At only 29 years of age, many have watched him grow and shared in his poker journey. This has fostered a huge level of popular investment in him, and he now has 1.6M+ followers on YouTube alone.
More commonly known as Wolfgang Poker, he began playing in a friend’s basement. A Chicago resident, he originally forged a career as a double for Justin Bieber. Now, he creates vlogs and informative content, showing people how to improve their poker game and sharing his various wins and losses.
These videos can be invaluable to new players. For anyone starting out, there is already a host of dedicated online poker news outlets and resources on the internet, but Wolfgang’s content is a welcome addition to the existing wealth of material. The existing sites contain information on how to play, all the way up to advanced strategies for the more seasoned veterans, and are often paired with online platforms that provide bonus credit. Wolfgang’s videos cover similar but different ground in a way which complements the established experts on the net, complete with an energetic and approachable host, which may greatly appeal to select viewers. Indeed, for some, there may no better way to start getting to grips with the game.
Jeff Gross
Jeff Gross started playing poker at the University of Michigan where he studied. By his own admittance, in these days he knew very little about the game bar the rules. A deep dive into ‘The Theory of Poker’ by David Sklansky made him tighten up his game, and he then began playing and hosting small events. He was a talented soccer player, who one weekend missed a game to go to Atlantic City for a major tournament and soon knew where his priorities lay.
Today, Jeff is the host of several poker broadcasts. He has his own podcast and has managed to amass 139.2K followers on Instagram. His highest rank to date has been 2nd place in the WSOP.
Seth Moeller
When it comes to a list of poker players on social media, there will be many with bigger wins and accolades than Seth Moeller. His total live winnings amass $3,740, though some list his earnings as -$7,013.
Yet for sheer entertainment value, few can beat this American player. He even describes himself as a breakeven poker player. Most famous are his short-form comedy skits, refreshingly for a field that often takes itself overly seriously and is filled with quite brash characters. Moeller currently has 118k followers on Instagram.
