HISTORY
Career & origins of Joey Ingram
Joey Ingram began his poker career as a serious high-stakes cash game grinder, competing at six-figure buy-in online games under the handle "Chicago Joey" during the boom years. He was a genuine high-stakes player before pivoting to content creation, which gives his commentary on the game a credibility that many pure creators lack.
His transition to poker journalism and content creation led him to become one of the game's most important voices for accountability. Ingram's investigative coverage of poker cheating scandals — most notably involving RTA (real-time assistance) software and collusion in online games — helped expose wrongdoing and force the industry to take integrity issues more seriously.
His long-form interview content with poker legends, combined with his willingness to take controversial positions and ask difficult questions, have established him as a uniquely valuable presence in the poker ecosystem — part journalist, part entertainer, part watchdog.
