  • Priceless advice for the rec player

    I’m a recreational player trying to improve my game, and the Rec.Poker podcast is just what I was looking for. My motivation to study increases with each episode.

    The episode with Gripsed is the best. He delivered an awesome combination of entertainment and education. Rec.Poker should put him on the Rec.ing Crew! I don’t play cash, but imma buying his book.

    Keep up the great work. Rec.Poker rules!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 758 - RecPoker Chats: Lea Anne Wolfe
Q: What does the industry need to do to be more welcoming and bring more people into the game?
Her perspective is it's a broad challenge that requires considering education, representation, and engaging formats; she emphasizes showing approachable, diverse players and reducing entry barriers.
EP 769 - RecPoker Strategy: Better Poker Thought Process
Q: What scenarios make you comfortable bluffing or making a big river decision, and when do you pull back?
I rely on the read that my opponent is capable of calling with hands that you'd expect them to have; if the table seems capable of folding to pressure, I'll pull the trigger, otherwise I'll fold to avoid unprofitable risks.
EP 769 - RecPoker Strategy: Better Poker Thought Process
Q: Chris, how do you decide when to get away from your go-to strategy and start to take advantage of opponent's mistakes?
I look for opponent tendencies, the flow of the table, and whether the player is overvaluing certain hands or ranges; if I see a repeatable leak, I adjust by varying sizing, shaping my CBAT/three-bet ranges, and sometimes taking more aggressive lines when the table dynamics support it.
EP 751 - RecPoker Chats: Kevin Mathers and the WSOP Schedule
Q: What would you say is the biggest change to this year's schedule compared to prior years?
I mean, I think they've settled in that they're going to do 100 bracelet events each year.
EP 749 - RecPoker Chats: Matt Matros - and Cohorts!
Q: How would you define your own role in the poker world today in your own words?
I am primarily a poker player and writer who does some coaching.
