Not-so-obvious tidbit about this doc is that it's told from the perspectives of the director and writer husband-n-wife team. No spoilers, other than it makes the accounts an memorializations seem more real. The glamour is given in small doses from Negreanu but from the lens of every-peeps looking to make it to that level. Why not, though? The more over-the-top poker streams get with wacky characters the more the grinder needs to be illustrated, even if it's in a somewhat clunky format. I liked it, despite the bleakness, mostly because every person in the poker scenes seemed like a relatable archetype of someone I'd met in my own travels as a player. We'll call it a realistic snapshot, mostly good but flawed and leave it at that.
