-I am wondering if you are a natural talent? Did you needed to take many lessons before you got all this poker pro skills? ☺️
-Are you still an active online poker player?
-Did the times changed much at playing poker games trough all these years?
-How can you describe all this years till now playing poker from 2003? I think first results are from the year 2003 as much as i checked... Correct me if i am wrong!
- Is there any crucial, mind blowing, dissapointing,etc...moment for you in history at playing poker?
-Can you tell us your special story please, that stayed in your head for good? ☺️

I read that you began playing poker during the college at a local Indian casino. That got my attention. What kind of casino was it? An Indian casino...?🙂

-I also read that after finishing the college, you founded a company with your partner, which was also highly productive! Nice!

-So i am wondering if you went to LA and left your business back home because you truly are a poker pro and you get a living from poker, you are actually champion at poker!☺️
I also must say... Congradulations for winning a bracelet at world series of poker playing no-limit hold'em!!!

-Its nice to know that you are President and CEO of Poker Atlas wich helps many of us to learn and improve our poker strategies! And more...
Congratulations to all you've done!!

Questions for Mr. J. Friedberg

It says on your website that

" Poker Atlas was originally founded way back in 2004 as AllVegasPoker.com. Since then, we have grown steadily by leaps and bounds, including the merger between All Vegas Poker and PokerAtlas in 2014"


Can you elaborate on that merger? Were the founder of AllVegasPoker or you bought the company?

Can you give us an example of some "leaps and bounds" your company had to cope with to become sucessful today?

Jon, thank you for bringing US poker atlas. I have used it every time I want to go to Vegas or just find tournaments. It's so helpful. Thank you.


Questions for Jon Friedberg

Q1 Winning a WSOP bracelet is every poker player dream. What advice would you give to players who have dreams to win one if they ever made a final table?

Q2 I looked up your results and many of your recent cashes would be in tournaments I can play. My goal is to win just one tournament with say A WSOP ring or trophy series or even God forbid a bracelet. What advise could you give aspiring players like me who hope and dream to win just one time in there life?

Q3 Add on to Q2. What tournaments would you suggest to a player like me to play?

Q4. I do happen to be a student of the game and put a lot of work into my game. In what areas of the game would you suggest a player work on most to become a player to have a better chance to win one of these tournaments.?

Thank you.

Hello.🙂
Thank you for this unique opportunity to get to know Jon Friedberg better.🤗

Questions for Jon Friedberg:

1. Before you delved into the field of poker, your experience of advertising and selling was completely unrelated to the poker industry. How hard was it to work in a new field for you, or did your experience, on the contrary, contribute to success in your endeavors?

2. What do you think distinguishes PokerAtlas from other similar resources today: how is it unique or in what is it superior to others (what can PokerAtlas offer its members that others cannot offer)?

3. As the #1 resource for live and online poker games across North America, do you have a development plan that can take you beyond North America and if so, could you tell us more about it?

4. If we consider you as a poker player, not a businessman: Has your attitude to poker changed over the years? Does playing poker attract you as much as it did many years ago, or is it already a different feeling?

Thank you again 🌺🌺🌺

Hi Lexy.

Q1 I admit I did not realize you were a poker coach. I am going to check out your site. What made you decide to go into poker coaching?

Q2 Out of my poker friend group some of the best players are the Ladys. OK the best one is a female in my opinion, but they don't go to casinos. As one of the top female players in the world what do you think the poker world can do to help get more Ladys into poker.

Q3 As a person who aspires to do more in the poker world, what advice can you give to a player like me?

Q4 What do you prefer to play, Cash games or Tournaments.

Thank you
