This week for episode number 747 of the RecPoker Podcast Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew welcome John Barrows from Running Aces back to the show! We talk about the industry side of running a poker room, the importance of game security, how to give the players what they want, local poker variants, how stakes and structures are chosen, and a lot more!

We also Open The Action with our speed round, and we play Stake/Study Stack with Andrew Feist, Steve Fredlund and Dan Kennedy! 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 9:00 ET for free to ask our guests questions in real time, and you can win too!
