Ep 589 - Chats: Mikha Richards on Mentorship in the Poker World

This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview pro player Mikha Richards! Mikha shares about her experience moving from recreational player to pro, finding her ‘crew’ at Team 100K, her role in the new mentorship program at Pocket Queens, what she’s doing on the felt to be a better poker player, how she blows off steam, some tips for less experienced players, and a lot more!

We also play Stake/Study Stack with Rob Gardner, Xiuan Liu and LoriAnn Persinger and we Close The Action with our speed round! Plus of course we raffle away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat, to help support a local food bank. 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!
