This week Jim Reid welcomes RECing Crew member and WSOP Social Media Czar Kevin Mathers back on the show to talk about the 2024 WSOP! Kevin dives right into outlining his own schedule for the series, what he looks forward to each year, the chances he gets to actually play poker while there, some great tips on how to avoid mistakes when it comes to registration and getting your chips in play, how to move your money around, and a lot more!
We also play Stake/Study Stack with Sean Deeb, Chris Brewer, and Ian Matakis 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!
