This Poker Pro Ended Up Living A Teenage Boy's Dream Life. Cards. Charity. And A Porn Star GF?!
Matt Stout learned to count with five-card draw.Not math class.Not flash cards.Poker.His older sister taught him the game when he was four years old — which feels either wholesome or deeply irresponsible depending on how you look at it.Either way, it stuck.By high school he was selling weed, playing hockey, and doing just enough in school to stay on the team. By college he’d found poker, gotten busted with a quarter pound, quit hockey, and fallen headfirst into the game.Then everything sped up.A paperwork mistake knocked him out of school.He took what he had left to Atlantic City.Ran it from about $4K to $50K in a matter of months.Got staked by Sheets & Backs.And suddenly the kid from Bayonne was battling high-stakes tournaments against some of the biggest names in poker.That alone would’ve been enough story for one episode.But Matt’s story gets weirder.Because somewhere along the way, the poker pro became one of the most important charity poker operators in the country.What started as a $10 college fundraiser became the Charity Series of Poker — raising millions for nonprofits and working with organizations like St. Jude and the Vegas Golden Knights.And yes… we also get into how he met Katie Morgan. Because of course we do.In this episode of The Table 1 Podcast, Matt joins Art Parmann and Justin Young to talk about:Learning poker as a kidGetting busted and finding poker at the right timeTurning $4K into $50KGetting staked by Sheets & BacksBuilding the Charity Series of PokerMeeting Katie MorganThis one is funny, chaotic, and a reminder that poker careers rarely go where you think they will.Sometimes the dream job doesn’t exist yet.You just build it yourself.Play with us in Vegas:table1.vegasPlay online with the Table 1 community:Phenom PokerLearn more about CSOP:charityseriesofpoker.orgShow Notes3:47 — Learns poker at age 413:58 — College bust leads to poker27:24 — $4K to $50K heater52:30 — Charity Series of Poker begins58:27 — The Negreanu text that changed things1:13:05 — Meeting Katie MorganArt: @artparmann | Your Perfect Poker Assistant: AskCharlotte.ai/pokerJustin: @justinyoung07
