Sam Greenwood bets on words over video.
Sam Greenwood has taken a different route from most poker content creators. Rather than chasing the influencer crowd on YouTube, he’s found a home on Substack, writing daily about poker for a growing audience.
According to Greenwood, Substack’s direct-to-reader model appealed to him more than the world of vlogs and video content as per his comments to Pokerati.
Greenwood, who learned poker on the 2+2 forums before the days of training sites, sees Substack as a way to fill a void left by the migration to video content.
Despite previous training video experience for Run It Once, Greenwood wasn’t drawn to the idea of being a YouTuber.
Thousands of poker fans now follow his writing, proof that the written word isn’t dead in the age of influencers.
