We’re back! After the recent unpleasantness caused by Matt’s car accident, we are pleased to return for our 75th episode with two fresh new hands.

Unfortunately, no main podcast this week, but we wanted to put out a brief clip explaining why. Bottom line: Matt was in a very bad car accident this week and has been recovering. We hope to be back at it next week, provided we can get enough hands to cover in what will be another […]

Tracey is away on a business trip, so it’s a double dose of Matt this week. The first hand features a very unusual flop play from his opponent and an action packed turn card. The second hand (starting at 28:45) is a spot we’ve never covered before on the podcast: a bomb pot!

In Matt’s hand, at the start of the episode, he must decide how wide to defend after capping his range with a check-call. In Tracey’s hand, starting at 32:00, she considers when to go on offense with a draw when facing a donk lead.
