Evan “Gripsed” Jarvis has been sharing his knowledge of poker with recreational poker players for a long time, and this week he joins the panel to talk about his life in poker, and what he loves about the game. Evan recalls getting his feet wet in the business of poker, some different strategies you might employ in cash games vs. tournaments, what it’s like to write a poker book, where he likes to play live, the state of online poker in Ontario, when to buy in for the max, and more! You can find Evan pretty much anywhere by typing “Gripsed” into a search box, and you can check out his new book “Mastering Small Stakes Cash Games” here.
We also go over this week’s home game results and discuss these topics:
