This week Jim Reid and the panel interview Andrew Brokos from the Thinking Poker Podcast and we get right into Andrew’s plans for the summer, what its like podcasting without Nate Meyvis, and how Carlos Welch has brought a new energy to their show. We also discuss how Andrew works on his poker game, tips and techniques for less experienced players, the importance of community, and how the poker world needs to start treating women more inclusively. Finally, we talk about the pros and cons of registering on Day 2 of the WSOP main event, Andrew’s new book Essential Poker Concepts Volume 2 – and more!
