This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview RECing Crew member Gareth James about his new book The Final Table! Gareth gets right into the details about what it’s like to right a book by himself, having co-authored before, and what led him to work on this subject for his next book. They go over some of the strategic elements of different phases of the final table, how to write for different audiences, and a lot more! 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!
