For Esfandiari's interview, a number of fans had found their ways to the Reddit pages, asking about everything from his private life to his successes at the poker tables.

Many fans for instance wanted to know how "the Magician" started his career, and what eventually made him take up a living as a pro poker player.

"A pro is someone who can make a living at it. Pure and simple," Esfandiari said when asked what his definition of a pro player is.

When asked about his own start in professional poker, he admitted to have had almost a revelation, leading him to take up the game for real.

"19 years… playing poker at a local casino… after reading my first book and playing… in a way it was like the Matrix… I just saw the puzzle unfolding before my very eyes."
