Ryan Laplante is the founder of Learn Pro Poker and a great friend of the show for many years. He joins Chris Jones to talk about living in Vegas and the live poker scene there these days, and chasing Blake Bohn on the all-time Minnesota money list. They also discuss combating Real Time Assistance in the world of online poker, ICM studies at LPP with RECing Crew member Dara O’Kearney, and they engage in a strategy session over a hand Chris played against an aggro villain recently.
