The Mad Genius of Poker, Mike Caro, Steps Up to the Microphone After 20 Years

In episode 1,012 of the PokerNews Podcast, host Chad Holloway held a one-on-one interview with Mike Caro, known as the "Mad Genius of Poker." The episode is sponsored by Solana.

Caro withdrew from the poker world about 20 years ago. Holloway tracked him down and persuaded him to take part in a special two-part interview. In the first part, Caro talks about the early years of his poker career and his skill at reading opponents' body language. He also reviews his well-known rules, such as "The Law of Least Tilt" and "Threshold of Misery."

Caro's books are also discussed in the interview. Super System, which he wrote together with Doyle Brunson, is at the top of the list. A pioneer of poker technology, Caro also talks about his first computer program, ORAC, his deal with the first online poker site, Planet Poker, and his ambassadorship for Doyle's Room.

The second part of the interview will be released on Thursday, October 29, at 8:00 a.m. Pacific time and 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. The podcast can also be listened to as audio on major platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.
