This week Jim Reid and Chris Jones interview Jonathan Levy and Grant Denison – otherwise known as The Poker Guys from the popular podcast The Breakdown! They talk about their own working chemistry, other fun projects they’ve tinkered with, and the process of breaking down a listener hand. They also discuss how they would study poker these days, how recreational players can avoid some common mistakes, the future of poker both live and online, and a lot more! Plus we give away a copy of their book “How Can He Fold?” to a lucky YouTube viewer in our weekly contest – join us every week Monday night at 6:30 CT for your chance to win!
