The Upper Hand with @Firaldo87poker Firaldo is one of the most succesful Poker players of all time. He is 1st in Scotland's all-time money list - he almost has 2x that of second place! Add his live and online cashes together and he easily clears $10,000,000+ in cashes! I don't believe he gets the respect he deserves. Maybe it's because when he's playing lower stakes in live Poker, he's been known to have a beer or two! He's a man of the people who just loves the game. I'm fully convinced - in an alternative universe, where Firaldo did not enjoyed so much success, you'd still find him down his local casino loving the game just as much! We talk Poker, Football, Dad life, $100,000 buy-ins vs Phil Ivey and much more! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did <3 00:00 Welcome Firaldo 00:39 Poker Or Celtic? 04:12 Being A Poker Dad 06:45 Baby Names 08:31 Ange Postecoglou At Celtic 10:48 Firaldo's Tweet 12:57 Firaldo Did A Law Degree?! 14:04 Firlado's Family 21:32 Firaldo's Poker Beginnings 24:31 Firaldo Goes ALL-IN! 25:23 Firaldo Caught Cheating?! 25:47 Firaldo's First BIG Live Score 27:44 Poker Heartbreak 29:49 Firaldo's 100m Sprint Record 30:43 Firaldo Was A Baller 31:17 How The Name "Firaldo" Was Made 31:31 Meeting Ronaldo (R9) 32:16 Drinking With Ronaldo?! 32:50 Start Of The Monstrous Run 36:49 Poker Groups 39:42 Poker Instincts 40:21 Poker Backers 45:21 Losing In Poker 47:44 Firaldo's First $100k 48:18 High Stakes Poker 50:08 Playing Against Phil Ivey 53:17 Triton FT Photo 53:37 Does Firaldo Get Tilted? 54:27 Will Firaldo Play $100k's again? 56:01 Fintan Is ALL-IN... 58:15 Having Another Kid? 58:35 Having Kids 01:00:38 Live OR Online Poker? 01:01:50 Living In Canada 01:02:08 Can Fintan Get The Bluff Through? 01:03:27 Live Poker Controversy 01:04:47 Poker In America 01:06:23 Firaldo's Issue Getting Into America 01:10:36 Firaldo's Hobbies 01:11:18 Supportive Family 01:12:18 Buying His Mum A House! 01:15:38 Being A WSOP, EPT & WPT Champion! 01:16:57 Memorable Hero Call? 01:18:36 Does Firaldo Play Cash Games? 01:19:48 Would Firaldo Do A Poker TV Show? 01:20:59 Celtic Games 01:24:38 Arlo Enters The Scene 01:25:28 Celtic VS Rangers 01:27:41 Poker Coaching 01:28:26 House Bet?! 01:28:54 The Last Hand 01:29:23 What Would Firaldo's One Time Be?

As I’m sure a few of you know, if all goes well, I’m going to be a Dad soon. I’m feeling pretty chill about everything and I’m not too worried. I might get humbled quickly, we’ll see. But does anyone have any advice/books/things they wish they’d known/read? Cheers x

Watched a grown man cry trying to board @Irish_Ferries He'd booked 3 cages for his 5 dogs. They wouldn't allow it and refused to allow him to book more as they said they were "fully booked". He was on his way home for medical care he hasn't been able to get due to covid.
