Poker player Joshua Abady comes on the GRID to talk about a hilarious hand with queen-jack suited at the Colossus at the WSOP that ended in dramatic confrontation. Abady explains how he uses his extroverted personality to make live poker more fun, and to occasionally make big exploits. Josh, who is 25, also talks about why he got into poker, his early approach to the game, and how to grow the game to more players in his demographic. 

Josh is a New York City based former scholastic chess champion, and the COO of Criticial Mass Applications, a cooking iphone app that is nearing launch. He’s been playing poker tourneys for just a few years, where he’s had much success particularly in Australia. I first found about Josh on the podcast, The Chip Race https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-chip-race/e/60821767, where I discovered he was an evocative story teller and passionate gamer.
