This week Jim Reid and the panel interview Matt Matros, poker player and author of several books on the subject. RecPoker conducted a Book Study on his primer The Game Plan last year, and we are excited to get into the details of Matt’s latest book entitled The Poker Brain. The group also discusses the process of writing, what Matt enjoys about poker, what surprised him about his research for the book, and a lot more! After the interview, the gang recaps some more details about the RecPoker Weekend at Running Aces and Jim’s run in the WSOP Main Event including some thoughts on the unique dynamic at play in that very special tournament and how it affects the ranges players will use both to 3-bet, and also to continue against 3-bets from other players.
