Ep 613 - Chats: Jay “Venom” Carrafiello Finds His Crew
Manage episode 434572611 series 1257834
This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview poker pro Jay “Venom” Carrafiello. Jay talks about coming up in the cash game streets playing PLO and learning lessons, dipping into heads-up play for a while, and settling on MTTs as his format of choice. The discussion finds a few rabbit-holes, covering the difference between cash and tournament play, different variants of poker, the importance of finding people to learn with, taking notes at the table, solvers, poker goals, one of Jay’s recent tourney wins, live reads tat the table and a lot more! We also play Stake/Study/Stack with Craig Savage, Rob Gardner and Scott Beckom 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!
