Spraggy's SCOOP Top Tip #4: Build the Rig

Eliot Thomas

Here at PokerNews, we're in the fortunate position this month to share a few snippets of SCOOP wisdom from one of life's winners. Enter Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg.

Okay, sure, he hasn't won a SCOOP title yet. It's been *checks @SpraggyTracker* a mere 2,887 days and counting, but we still love you, Spragg. That title's coming one day. Maybe. Probably.

"You need a grindstation that looks like NASA meets a snack aisle," Spragg says.

"Three monitors minimum, mouse sensitivity turned to 'FPS gamer,' and snacks that can survive a 12-hour session. Your posture will suffer, your hydration will falter, but your vibe? Unmatched. If you're not surrounded by flickering tables and mild chaos, you’re not ready."

The Battle Royale prizes are as follows:

  • 1st Place: $10,300 Gold Power Pass
  • 2nd Place: $2,500 Silver Power Pass
  • 3rd–16th Place: $109 Bronze Power Passes
