Matt Petry thought he was being scammed when he got a message on FanDuel about being a finalist for Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski's Gold Pass giveaway on the sports betting platform.
But the 30-year-old firefighter from West Virginia's skepticism faded when he learned that he had in fact won a $10,300 Gold Pass Package to PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas.
PokerNewscaught up with Petry to talk about his poker background and how he plans to make the most of his first-ever trip to Sin City.

Poker Roots
Petry has been around poker since the Moneymaker Boom when his dad's firefighter buddies "got into poker heavy."
"They would have home games and I started playing with them," Petry said. "They'd let me play. So that kind of got me into it."
Petry remembers playing on PokerStars for play money as a teenager before his interest dwindled. He stopped playing poker for years before seeing some intriguing YouTube content during the pandemic that reignited his passion for the game.
"And then started grinding after that and actually learned how to play."
Nowadays, Petry plays online poker regularly and occasionally makes the two-hour drive to Maryland to play live poker.
"I play quite a good bit online," he said. "Probably just like an average buy-in of $11. I play a lot of MTTs. I've probably played like 800 this year."

First Time in Vegas
Petry was at his local VA fire station when he learned that he had won Gronkowski's Gold Pass giveaway.
"I was at work that day," he said. "And I'm telling all the guys at work that I just won a Gold Pass to Vegas."
Not only is the $5,300 buy-in NAPT Main Event "50 times bigger than anything I've ever played," it will mark the southerner's first trip to Las Vegas.
"It's exciting. I'm excited to get out there and try it. I've never been to Vegas, so this will be a first for me, too."
Petry added that he was excited to audition for The Big Game on Tour, one of many perks of the $10,300 Gold Pass package.
"It seems like a ton of stuff for a Gold Pass. Like, I'm getting emails daily about different things and activities."
There have been other notable Gold Pass giveaways, including one through the PokerNewsPodcast and Life Outside Pokerthat saw Luis Rivera winning a seat into his second-ever live tournament.

- Opportunities may come from luck, but in competitive situations, skillful play ultimately decides the winner. As players gain more rummy experience, they frequently look for sophisticated strategies that will improve their gameplay even more. Creating blockers by holding onto particular cards that stop opponents from forming their melds is one such tactic. For instance, if you see that your opponent is gathering cards from a specific suit, you can force them into less advantageous plays by keeping high-ranking cards from that suit. 25-01-04
- In order to minimize the number of points you have left in your hand at the end of the game, you must merge your cards into these combinations. Two or more players can play the game, & the rules might change slightly depending on which version is being used. It is essential for any player who wants to succeed at rummy to comprehend these fundamental ideas. A standard deck of cards is usually used to deal a predetermined number of cards to each player at the start of the game. To begin the discard pile, the top card is positioned face-up, and the remaining cards form a draw pile. 25-01-04

- If high-point cards don't fit into any possible melds, it's a good idea to discard them. This reduces the possibility of scoring points in the event that a player leaves the game before you do. Also, keep an eye on the cards your opponents are selecting from the discard pile; if they appear interested in particular suits or ranks, it might be prudent to refrain from discarding those cards to avoid facilitating their advancement. You can keep control of the game and improve your chances of winning by becoming an expert at strategically discarding. 25-01-04
