This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview Poker.Org’s editor-in-chief Brad Willis! Brad talks about baseball, music, and other ways he and his family enjoy their time together. He also tells some fun stories about his new position at Poker.Org and what he loves about working there. The group discusses some of the surprises Brad wasn’t expecting from the poker industry, some lessons he’s learned there, and Brad shares some details about his own personal experiences while working at PokerStars through Black Friday and the organizational changes that followed.
We also play Stake/Study Stack with Sarah Herring, Lee Jones, and TJ Reid and we Close The Action with our speed round! Plus we 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!
