🎙️ Episode 120: “Table Manners & Tilt Monsters: A Field Guide to Poker Etiquette”

Welcome back to 🎧 The Overlay a poker podcast, the poker podcast that mixes sharp insight with pro-level comedy—because nothing tilts a table faster than a guy who thinks shuffling chips is a personality trait.

In this episode, Ken and Brandon dive into the most annoying things players do at the poker table—from seat-changing squirrels to the guy who takes 17 minutes to fold 7-2 offsuit like he’s defusing a bomb. We break down the do’s and don’ts of poker etiquette, offer a few rules that should exist (looking at you, “Show One Show All” guy), and laugh at the chaos that makes live poker endlessly frustrating… and endlessly fun.

If you’ve ever wondered:

🃏 “Am I the annoying one?”

😂 …the answer is probably yes. But don’t worry—we’re here to help.

Pull up a chair, stack your chips (quietly), and join us for another episode of poker, punchlines, and the occasional poker chart analogy.

🎧 Episode 118 – Vegas Dreams, Final Tables, and a Dash of Degen

This week on The Overlay, we sit down with the two fierce, funny, and fearless founders of the Purposeful Poker vlog — a duo redefining what it means to go pro in Vegas without going full degen (well… maybe just a little).

They’re poker players navigating the highs and lows of the felt while juggling real life, relationships, and the occasional existential flop.

We talk about:

Turning poker dreams into reality (without turning into zombies)

♣️ Building a vlog that’s honest, intentional, and refreshingly unfiltered

♥️ What it really takes to chase final tables while managing life off the table

♦️ And of course, tons of bad beats and run goods!

This episode brings heart, hustle, and humor from two players grinding with purpose—and proving that the road to poker greatness doesn’t have to be all-nighters and nosebleeds.

🎙️ Listen now to laugh, learn, and maybe rethink your own bankroll management.

🎙️ Episode 118 – Table Image: Your Poker Reputation in Real Time

In poker, it’s not just about the cards you play—it’s about the story you tell. Your table image is your poker reputation in the moment: are you the tight rock, the fearless maniac, or the Costco-hoodie dad who somehow scoops every pot?

In this episode of The Overlay, Ken and Brandon break down how to build, control, and exploit your table image for maximum profit. We cover:

• 🎭 The psychology of perception at the table
• 🃏 How to lean into your image—or flip it for a big bluff
• 👓 The role of sunglasses, hoodies, chip stacks, and nachos (yes, nachos)
• 🔑 Actionable tips to weaponize your reputation

Packed with strategy, stories, and plenty of laughs, this episode will help you turn the way others see you into your greatest edge.

Because in poker—and in life—it’s not just who you are, it’s who they think you are.
