Jennifer welcomes poet, host, chef, poker author and once mass-multitabler Katie Dozier to the GRID. Dozier brings a hand against Chris Moneymaker from a VIP PokerStars Sit N Go, from Katie’s days of strategizing how to squeak the most value out of her Supernova status. At the time, Katie held court on up to 50 tables at once as hotjenny314. In the hand against Moneymaker, Katie held only Five-Three Offsuit, but she was hungry for a bounty.

After discussing the hand, Katie generously shares two of her own poems, including Ten-Deuce Offsuit Rain, a tribute to Doyle Brunson. They also talk about what poetry and poker have in common, besides starting with the same two letters. For example, Katie points out that in ICM and in poetry word choice, the fewer chips or words you have, the more each increases in value. They also talk about how success in poker or poetry requires you become resilient to rejection.

Katie is an editor at the poetry magazine Rattle and co-hosts the Poetry Space podcast.  Find her at https://linktr.ee/katie_dozier.

Dozier was a member of the poker playing quartet the Grindettes. You can also listen to Jamie Kerstetter and Katie Stone on previous episodes of the GRID.
