This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview Max Havlish and Wesley Cannon from the Suited Kings Poker podcast! To start, Max shares some details about his own poker journey, and why he and Wes are good friends and partners. If you want to learn more about Wes’s poker story, check out episode 469 from earlier this year.
The group discusses cash vs. tournament play, competing with respect, when being ‘balanced’ matters most, and good hands to limp or call with. We also learn ways pros can tell if you are less experienced, about staking, swapping, selling action – and a lot more! Plus we play Stake/Study Stack with Matt Hamilton, Kou Vang and Robbie WazWaz, we Close The Action with Wes and Max, and give away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat. Join us LIVE on YouTube next Monday at 7:30 ET for free to ask our guests questions in real-time, and you can win too!
