Ep 631 – Chats: Barry Carter and Dara O’Kearney Stop The Presses!

This week Jim Reid and the RecPoker RECing Crew interview long-time friend of the show and RECing Crew member Dara O’Kearny and his fantastic perennial co-writer Barry Carter! This dynamic duo shares some exciting news about their new video platform for training materials, what makes creating videos different from writing books, things they don’t love about their jobs, the strategic difference between bounty tournaments and progressive knockouts, and a lot more!

We also play Stake/Study Stack with Barney Boatman, David Lappin and Andy Black and we Close The Action with our speed round! 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!
