from The Rec Poker Podcast · host RecPoker: Play. Learn. Belong.
This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview DGAF about his poker journey and his famous Sessions podcast series. Billy talks about his various roles in the poker industry and what it takes to succeed in the ‘soft hustle’ of the poker environment. They discuss whales, assholes, and what kind of behaviour will ensure you are NEVER invited to a home game or stream - and DGAF even shares some great strategy notes about overbetting, plus some tips for less experienced players who find themselves at the cash tables and want to avoid getting picked on. But that’s not all! We also play Stake/Study/Stack with Bill Klein, Eric Persson and Andy Stacks and we “Close the Action” with our speed round - and of course we give away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat.
