Rec Poker Podcast

Hosted by Steve Fredlund

Steve is a recreational Texas Hold'em tournament player and regular at Running Aces Casino & Racetrack. Unable to find a podcast to improve his game that fit his learning style, he decided to start his own.  After playing with several different formats, he settled in to a weekly release leveraging the knowledge and insight from many of the best players in Minnesota.  The goal of the podcast is to improve the number and quality of players, with the added bonus of getting to know many of the players.  While the first round of interviews spends some time getting into backgrounds, the heart of the podcast will be to provide specific strategic information to help recreational players improve their game.
 
You are invited to engage further by following on Twitter @RecPoker or joining the Facebook group.  You are also welcome to contact Steve directly at stevefredlund@gmail.com.
 
Running Aces is excited to be the official sponsor of the Rec Poker podcast and we are both looking forward to a great partnership.

Episode 143: Andrew Brokos - Facing Limpers

Andrew Brooks is a professional poker player, author, blogger, coach, and host of the “Thinking Poker” podcast. He was on the RecPoker podcast episode #130 and is back by popular demand.  His recent book, “Play Optimal Poker” has received great reviews and we are honored to have him on our show. In this episode we chat about facing limpers, which is one of the most commonly raised questions too our podcast. We also talk a bit about having our own limping strategy and where that makes sense.
 
Check out everything Andrew has going on at thinkingpoker.net or Twitter @thinkingpoker.
 
Hosting this episode is Steve Fredlund, joined by three other RecPoker Core members: John Somsky, Rob Washam, and Jake Mason.
