Greg Pincombe

Greg Pincombe is an American professional poker player who has made a name for himself both at the live tournament tables and in the online poker content creation space. While details of his early life remain private, his journey into poker took a notable turn during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period when many people sought new career paths. Before poker, Pincombe was an actor, having graduated from theater school in 2019. He appeared in a bit of Netflix content, commercials, and a lot of regional theater. He never imagined he would end up in the poker world, but the pandemic provided an unexpected opportunity for a career change.

Pincombe's live tournament career has been marked by consistent results rather than a single breakout victory. With total career earnings of $947,948, he has demonstrated a remarkable ability to cash in a variety of events. His world ranking of #3342 reflects his steady accumulation of points and prize money over time. While specific tournament wins are not publicly documented, his earnings place him among the more successful grinders on the live circuit. He is known for his disciplined approach, favoring deep-stacked tournaments where his patient style can thrive.

In December 2020, Pincombe launched his YouTube channel 'Greg Goes All In,' which quickly gained attention for its humorous short videos parodying poker players. The channel, which has over 21,000 subscribers, became a serious gig and led to a sponsorship deal with GGPoker. As a GGPoker Ambassador, Pincombe committed to growing the channel and promoting the brand. His on-camera persona is a self-described 'donkey,' a character that is not too far off from his real self, though he insists he isn't a complete donkey. The vlogs are a collaboration with his girlfriend, Courtney Binnie, who assists in production and appears on camera. Binnie, a Toronto, Canada resident, studied theater behind the scenes and brings her expertise to the creative process. Pincombe jokingly calls her the boss, while she praises his creativity and scriptwriting.

Pincombe plays low-stakes cash games, mostly $1/$3 and $1/$2, and is focused on improving his game to move beyond being a break-even player. His style is conservative, with an emphasis on hand selection and positional awareness. He prefers to control the pot size through careful betting and reading opponents, avoiding unnecessary risks. This approach has served him well in live tournaments, where patience and discipline are key. He is also mindful of bankroll management and the importance of health and mindset, having once postponed a tournament due to illness before returning to the felt with renewed focus.

Pincombe's personal life is closely tied to his poker career, especially through his relationship with Courtney Binnie. Binnie is an accomplished poker player in her own right, with a Hendon Mob listing. She finished 50th in Event #20: $1,000 FLIP & GO No-Limit Hold'em at the 2021 World Series of Poker, earning $3,755. Notably, she was the top Canadian in that event, finishing ahead of Daniel Negreanu, who busted in 124th place for $2,155. Pincombe proudly boasts about her achievement, highlighting the competitive nature of their household. The couple works together on the vlogs, with Binnie playing a key role both in front of and behind the camera.

As of late 2021, Pincombe was focused on growing his YouTube channel and improving his poker skills. He joked that his goal was to be a break-even player, but he is actively working to become more than that. With a three-year GGPoker contract, he has a clear timeline for his content creation and sponsorship commitments. His live tournament earnings continue to climb, and he remains a recognizable figure in the poker community, both for his steady play and his entertaining online presence.
