The Grid 044 ft. Mandy Baker– Jack-Five Offsuit


Listen Later

Professional poker player and yoga instructor Mandy Baker throws us all the way back to 2005, where she played her first 10K at the World Poker Tour in Foxwoods. Mandy thought she detected an excellent squeeze spot before even looking down at her cards: Jack-Five Offsuit. Mandy explained to Jen how this dramatic hand had ripple effects in the tournament and even in the years ahead.

Mandy also gives some insight into poker strategy from back in those early days of the Poker Boom and her journaling and yoga habits.

Previous GRID guest Nick Schulman, who took an adjacent hand, won the event to become the youngest ever WPT champ at 21-years-old. Mandy talks about a hand she played against Nick, and how she felt after he won the event. Mandy, who satellited into the event, described literally rolling around in hundred dollar bills after her mincash.

Mandy and Jennifer go on to discuss Mandy’s list of “the most talented poker players”, the perils and blessings of call-out culture, and implicit bias. Mandy has had an incredible record at the World Series of Poker Ladies Event, and she talked to Jen about why she enjoys that event so much.

You can follow Mandy on her website https://www.amandabakeryoga.com/, on twitch on https://www.twitch.tv/RosalinaSky and twitter @Mandy22Baker. https://twitter.com/mandy22baker
