Alex “Schwibbs” Schwint is a PokerStars USA crusher. He’s won titles in nearly every PA series there is to win from PASCOOP to PACOOP to Winter Series. With a WSOP bracelet and two circuit rings, the wins keep coming–he event won a seat to the 2025 Irish Open on PokerStars PA.

We welcome him to the GRID to discuss two hands from a PokerStarsPA Scoop Warm-Up that he won for 21K. Coincidentally, both hands were with Ace-Six Suited, and match the suits of two recent posts by Jennifer Shahade, hearts and spades.

In the first, Schwibbs held Ace  Six , at the final table—he already had a nice chip lead, with 70 big blinds with a table average of 40.  Another PokerStars PA regular, R-hart215 (30 Big blinds) opened in first position, and Schwibbs called in the small blind. The flop came King  Nine  Six  and Schwibbs check called a small bet. The turn was the six  and when R-Hart215 made another small bet, Schwibbs check raised. When the Nine hit on the river, Schwibbs went all in, after which he got a tank fold. After we recorded the podcast, Scwhibbs’ opponent kindly revealed his holding: pocket jacks.

After discussing another ace-six suited hand history from the very same event—this one a four bet preflop—Schwibbs and Jen move on to general tips on poker study and a breakthrough lesson he had with BBZ poker. He also talks about his forays into live poker, and why he’s so passionate about coaching.
