This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview pro player and coach Matt Affleck! We talk about the best ways to study, the importance of opportunity cost, tips for recreational players, what Matt loves about playing and coaching poker, different coaching styles for different clients, GTO vs. exploitative play, and a lot more!
We also play Stake/Study Stack with Lexy Gavin, Jordan Drummond and Jonathan Little, and we Close The Action with our speed round. Plus of course 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!
