About Minnesota's Poker Podcast

A recreational Texas Hold'em tournament player, Steve Fredlund is a frequent visitor and good friend of Running Aces Casino & Racetrack. In his search to find a quality poker podcast to improve his game and fit his learning style, Steve had decided it was time to deal his own hand and begin his very first podcast. In the early stages of production, Steve played with multiple formats to help inspire fellow poker players to listen in. After a few tweaks to the program, he settled into a weekly episode series leveraging the knowledge and experience of some of the best poker players in Minnesota. The primary goal of the podcast is to help improve the number and quality of players by learning from the pros about what it takes to partake in poker tournaments. The added bonus is Steve gets to meet and hang out with many of these players himself.
 
Listen in to hear all-star interviews as you spend some time learning from the pros about how to improve your recreational game skills and maybe try your hand at Texas Hold'em, 3 or 4-card poker, or other popular card games available in our poker room and win your first Minnesota poker tournament.
 
As the official sponsor of Rec Poker Podcast, Running Aces’ Minneapolis casino invites you to check our website each week, so you never miss an episode! Be sure to follow Steve on Twitter @RecPoker or join his Facebook group to stay connected with fellow players and fans. Have questions for Steve? Feel free to email him directly at stevefredlund@gmail.com.
