This week for episode number 719 of the RecPoker Podcast Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview Sara O’Connor! Sara talks about her two poker books, “A New Queen's Guide to Poker” and “Shuffle Up and Deal With It: Tales from Dealers Worldwide” as well as what it’s like to write shortform pieces for Pokerati, her experiences researching the dealers' perspective of the game we all love so much, what it’s like being bipolar as a poker player, how she improves as a player, and a lot more!

We also Open The Action with our speed round, and we play Stake/Study Stack with Lance Bradley, “PokerFace” Ashley Frank, and Chris Moneymaker! 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!
