Ep 467 - Chats: Tom Bower on RFID Streams, Tells, Training, and Fun!

This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview Tom Bower from Lights Camera Action Poker! The group gets right into Tom’s history as a player and professional in the poker industry, and they discuss many aspects of broadcasting final table streams throughout Australia - from game security to player analysis to the value of learning by watching. Tom also shares some stories about his time spent in the world of body language and poker tells, and some of the difficulties of applying those lessons in real time at the tables. Plus of course we give away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat. Join us on YouTube next Monday at 7:30 ET for free to ask our guests questions in real time, and you can win too!
