Tournament Poker Edge

If you're looking for strategy, this is it. Four guys talking poker. Carlos Welch is back, coming on last minute to fill in for Mike during the first 10 minutes. Mike played and bagged chips in a WPT Main Event the night before, and slept through his alarm. He comes on shortly after starting the show, and goes over his Day 1 play. KK Cornish is an avid listener of the show, and we bring him on to talk about a couple spots that had him puzzled in a recent MTT.

Carlos will be on the road this month, and twitching from the Nit Mobile. If you would like to watch Carlos grinding, you can do so M W F at 11am EST, at http://www.twitch.tv/carloswelch
