- Leisure
This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview PokerStars Ambassador Georgina James about her last several years of streaming from home and traveling the world for fun and profit! GJ gets right into her beginnings as a Twitch streamer and how a DM in a rugby pub changed her life forever. She shares with our panel what it was like to get ‘patched up’ by PokerStars, what was expected of her as an ambassador, balancing a poker life with a day job, what she loves about streaming, adjusting to live play, the fun of traveling the world as a player, tips for recs and a lot more!
We also play Stake/Study Stack with Fintan Hand, Parker Talbot and Spraggy and we Close The Action with our speed round! Plus of course we raffle away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat, to help support a local food bank. 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!
