Ep 583 - Chats: Justin Arnwine on Moving From Cash To Tournaments

This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview live tournament crusher Justine Arnwine! Amid several technical podcast streaming difficulties, Justin shares some personal stories about his life as a cash game player, and how a car accident caused him to transition to tournaments instead. He talks about some differences between the two disciplines, what common mistakes he looks for in less experienced players, how poker is like working at a law firm, the impact Alicia Keys has had on his patient grinding, Hello Kitty, how to stay off the ‘no action list’ and a lot more!

We also play Stake/Study Stack with Caitlyn Arnwine, Landon Tice, and Jeremy Becker and we Close The Action with our speed round! 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 a prize just for showing up!
