This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview longtime player, pro, and industry professional Rob Perelman! Sometimes, when you are sitting at the poker table, good things happen when you start asking your neighbours about whether or not a hotdog is a sandwich: Jim and Rob met over the summer playing at the same table in a WSOP event, one conversation led to another and here we are! Rob brings a lot of stories from his various roles and experiences in the poker world, and shares some of his favourites with the gang, PLUS we dive into some Bomb Pot strategy, some tips for recs, and Joe Kulas also has a really cool offer for poker fans around the world to support a local food bank and win some AWESOME prizes in his silent auction coming up next month!

We also play Stake/Study Stack with Matt Savage, Jack Effel, and a 100-year-old-Binions-dealer 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!
