Ep 487 - Chats: Merv Harvey on Postlop Poker and...Bingo?!?

This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview Merv Harvey, longtime co-host of the excellent Postflop Poker Podcast (or PPP to its friends). On this week’s show, if you can make it through the first 10 minutes about Merv’s “Bingo Mindset strategy tips”, you’ll be in for a treat as they talk about his experiences in the poker world as a reporter, host, player, and more. Merv shares some details about lessons he’s learned from the game, common mistakes recreational players make, the value of having a community of peers, the peaks he has yet to summit, and more! Plus, normally we would give away a free prize at the end for folks in the YouTube chat, but YouTube was being naughty this week and we couldn’t stream the show live like we usually do. But 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!
