Mike Glick, better known as “Mike the Hat” is one of the best and most successful American poker players you may not have heard of. 

He rose from No Limit Hold Em cash games in the east coast to become a regular in the highest stakes mixed games at Bobby’s Room at the Bellagio.

Today he talks to me about a storied high stakes NLHE hand against previous GRID guest Chris Kruk, where Mike held the queen nine of hearts. Mike made a surprising play that had the other regulars in Bobby’s Room, including Gus Hansen and David Oppenheim, talking for days.

Mike also gives some general poker tips and tells a story about a near disastrous accident involving Doyle Brunson, which turned into a running joke.

Mike Glick doesn’t do many interviews maintain a social media presence, so don’t look for him on twitter, Instagram or YouTube. He does however, encourage NLHE specialists to visit Bobby’s Room.

Now that Mike has covered queen nine suited, 151 hands remain on thepokergrid.com.
