When Max Silver isn’t busy crushing the UKIPT, the EPT, the WSOP, or a Super High-Roller somewhere, you’ll probably find him in the kitchen or on Twitch streaming one of his many online MTT wins. We talk to Max about his rise through the ranks to some of the world’s highest stakes MTTs, the massive downswing that nearly caused him to quit, and the future he envisions for himself after poker. We also talk about his new app, SnapShove, and his optimism about the future of technology.
Max’s app, SnapShove, is a great way to practice your short stack skills while on the go. You can learn more from Max by following @Max_Silver on Twitter, watching him on Twitch, or reading his blog. Max recommends watching Chef John’s Food Wishes YouTube channel and reading Abundance.

No particular comments except that I found it quite endearing that both Andrew and Max seemed relatively shy when they were talking 🙂 … most of us wouldn’t be “slick” in that kind of situation either.
