I know, I know. You saw it right there on the internet. It must be a true story.

He's rich, as chronicled in Neil Strauss' book.

Made his money playing poker, I heard. Not with a Martingale.

And as the blog says he refuses to reveal his successful strategies (it does not, unlike you, claim he got rich with the Martingale), although based on what we've seen here and his involvement with "the game", I'm guessing it's about bullshitting the gullible (which is a pretty good strategy at poker, so long as you study the genuine mathematics and odds to become proficient first - unlike in the films the real game is very much about playing the odds and knowing when it is a good bet and when it is not, bluffing and the "fancy" stuff is just a small part).
