Joe Giron has been photographing the World Series of Poker and other major poker events for nearly ten years, and in that time he’s learned a lot about poker and the people who play it. Before that, he worked as a newspaper photojournalist and a music photographer. We talk to him about the art of photography, his unique perspective on the poker world, his experiences with some of the world’s biggest rock musicians, and how technology is changing his industry.
You can follow Joe on @joegironphoto. You can (and, if you’re a music fan, definitely should) check out his gallery of both poker and music photography.

Love the podcast, gentlemen. One of your anonymous listeners (until now, at least).
Just wondering: Did Villain call Baltimore Red’s bet? Or did she raise?
If you’d have discussed that hand a couple of months ago, I’d have used my solver to find a GTO solution like I did for a couple of previous hands. However, my friend Piotr has released Piosolver, which runs significantly faster than my code, and has a nice interface, so anyone can generate their own GTO solutions quite easily now. I’d recommend that instead.
Oooh, just downloaded the free version, thanks for the heads up!
Being sort of a newbie in the game i found it kind of hard to comprehend your hand strategies but after reading some of annie duke John voorhous “Decide to play Real poker” which is not an easy read for beginners, your hand strategies became somewhat more simplistic to me .
Like this episode a lot. Seemed like a well balanced individual and professional. Enjoyed hearing about his route to success. Good luck to you Joe.
