This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview longtime friend of the show and new RECing Crew member Rob Gardner! Rob shares some details about his work with various poker learning communities over the years, and what he hopes for the future of RecPoker. They talk about the process of transitioning from a recreational player to a pro player, what's involved in streaming as an ambassador, the best ways to learn in a community, whether Jim or Mrs. BLUFFSTORINI is right about nostalgia, and a lot more!

We also play Stake/Study Stack with Lori-Ann Persinger, Justin Arnwine and Alex Loveless 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!

Rob is active on Twitter as https://x.com/RobGardnerLive and you can find him on all the other socials at the same handle!
