19 - Jonathan Little
Jonathan Little, 2-time WPT champion, author, and one of the most prolific poker creators of all time, shares how he’s able to break down processes in a way beginners can understand. He gives valuable advice for players who want to improve and recommends a path to take to get better quickly and without losing a ton of money. Jonathan and Jamie chat about why he thinks cash games are “a mess” and what radical changes he thinks need to be made in order for the game to become more sustainable. Listen in to hear Jonathan’s practical opinion on re-entries, the privatization of poker tournaments, and Coronavirus – and discover why he recommends to either adjust to what there is or create what you want.
