About this podcast
We've been there. Starting from local dailies to playing professionally, we have a lot of wisdom to share from our experiences. Our two completely different upbringings in poker create a unique combination of viewpoints to discuss when talking strategy. We look forward to helping you not only improve your technical and mental poker game but also your bank accounts.
