Great Documentary.

This was an excellent poker documentary showing the real life ups and downs of poker. An excellent job showing real people with real problems and where they are at now.

CaptainZeebo is the quintessential poker geek who's not only succeeded in poker but seems to have a solid grasp on life now.

For those non poker players it will come off as strange and maybe a tad bit depressing.

As a part time player it provided some inspiration in his ability to overcome big downswings.

Great show looking forward to part II.
