Ep 543 - Chats: Brian Winter on Golden Blazers and Playing Like A Pro

This week Joe Kulas and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview Brian Winter! Brian talks about his lead in the RunGood Player of the Year competition, traveling as a pro with his amazing photographer wife Rachel, the top four WORST places to finish in a tournament, the problem of finishing final tables in the wee hours of the morning, one way that many recreational players can improve their game immediately, and the importance of PB&J fundamentals. He also plays “Stake, Study, Stack” with Jerod Smith, Tana Karn, and Ryan Laplante, and we Close The Action with our speed round. Plus of course we give away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat. Join us LIVE on YouTube next Monday at 7:30 ET for free to ask our guests questions in real time, and you can win too!
