Show notes
This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview Jon Rand, aka Slow Poker! Jon shares some stories about transitioning from life as a playwright to being a poker content creator, what he loves about the game, some challenges he faces in his new role, what success looks like, balancing work and a family, and the virtues of taking bathroom breaks before podcasts!
We also play Stake/Study Stack with Marle Spragg, Greg Goes All In, and Caitlyn Comesky 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!
