The Rec Poker Podcast RecPoker: Play. Learn. Belong.

This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview circuit grinder Dan Lowery! While he hesitates to call himself a pro player, Dan has more WSOP circuit rings than anyone, and he certainly knows his way around the felt! Dan gets right into what he loves about his time with the RunGood tours, the lifestyle of a travelling player, the priority of his family life, playing cash games versus tournaments, and his thoughts on re-entry tournament structures. Dan also shares some personal details about his own results and profitability, the importance of eliminating life leaks, being a ‘closer’ at the tables, what the WSOP is doing wrong this year, some tips for less-experienced players, and a LOT more!



We also play Stake/Study Stack with Josh Reichard, Ari Engel and Maurice Hawkins 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!

This week, Jim Reid and and the panel are joined by some exciting guests to kick off a year of Mixed Games podcast episodes, featuring the “Mixed Game of the Month” in our free home game club! This month, we are practicing Limit Omaha 8 or Better - and the first practice game is tomorrow night! The panel start with a basic explainer about the mechanics of the game, and then we are joined by several mixed game enthusiasts and experts. Get some advice and tips from Chad McVean, Chris ‘Fox’ Wallace, Kathy Chang, Louie Hillman, Mike 08Grinder Serrano, Mike Patrick, Norman Chad, Robbie Strazynski, and Shannon Van Den Berg on how to get the most out of each game we feature.



If you are curious about how to play Limit Omaha 8 or Better, then this is the episode for you! And if you are more of a holdem player and don't really get into mixed games, we heartily recommend that you give them a try - maybe you’ll feel more comfortable about dipping a toe in once you’ve heard from our panel about how to avoid some beginner’s mistakes.
