The first in a series of guests from Australia, Shannon is the founder of the Mixed Games Academy. He gets right into talking all about his favorite mixed games and the different events going on in Australia this year that you can visit to join in the fun! Whether it’s to get an edge on the future of poker, to take a break from No Limit Texas Hold’em, or to give your brain a new perspective on poker generally, there’s WAY more fun to be had in the mixed game arena. Listen along to learn some tips for newbies and why some games are easier to master than others.
Plus we give away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat. Join us on YouTube next Monday at 7:30 ET for free to ask our guests questions in real-time, and you can win too!
