MaREC Madness 2024 Predictions and Discussion
Posted by pokergeekmn on February 19, 2024 at 8:49 pmHello everyone!
It’s time for the Fourth Annual MaREC Madness brought to you by our own Taylor Maas. This year we are continuing with a 16 player bracket and we can all make our own predictions. Watch the matches Tuesdays on Twitch.
Watch the matches unfold every Tuesday night in March at 8:00pm CT at twitch.tv/recpoker. Hole cards will be shown and RECing Crew members (and perhaps some special guests) will be commentating LIVE on the play.
Our upcoming MaREC Madness schedule is:
Tuesday, March 5: 8:00 pm CST — 4 first round matchups
Tuesday, March 12: 8:00 pm CST — 4 second round matchups
Tuesday, March 26: 8:00 pm CST — 2 semi-final matchups
Tuesday, April 2: 8:00 pm CST — Best of 3 Finals

Hey John. Are you officially not allowing my revision after gfhawk dropped out?
-
No, because some of the matches had already been played.
-
I think I posted the request an hour before the first match as soon as I found out my pick wasn’t playing. Up to you.
-
I didn’t see that. I’ll update your picks.
