I’ve always found Nick Wright pretty fascinating—not just for his sports takes, but also for how he's stepped into the poker world over the past few years. The guy's gone from breaking down NFL plays to sitting across from poker legends like Phil Hellmuth and Maria Ho. His match against Hellmuth in High Stakes Duel III back in 2021 was intense, even though Wright came up short. But then he turned around and crushed it on Poker After Dark, walking away with $50k—talk about a comeback!
I think what stands out most is how open Wright’s been about the mental side of gambling. Whether it’s poker or sports betting, he really gets into the psychology behind decision-making. His Super Bowl betting tips on What’s Wright? with Nick Wright were solid—he broke down prop bets and game predictions in a way that made sense, even if you’re not a hardcore bettor. Plus, hearing him talk about the pressure of high-stakes games adds a level of relatability, especially if you've ever felt those nerves placing a big bet. I’ve even seen him share quick takes about poker on Nick Wright Twitter—definitely worth checking out if you're into both sports and gambling.
His recent run at the 2024 World Series of Poker caught my attention because I’ve always dreamed of playing in the WSOP myself. I got hooked on poker thanks to my older brother—we used to play Texas Hold’em with a group of friends every weekend. I still remember the first time I bluffed my way to a win, heart pounding the whole time. These days, I mostly stick to online poker, but watching guys like Wright step up on the big stage makes me think, “Why not me someday?”
Anyway, I’ve got a lot of respect for how Wright balances his sports career with his passion for poker. It’s proof that with the right mindset, you can step into new arenas and hold your own—even against the best. Anyone else follow his poker journey?
