This year, RecPoker has created a 16-person, heads-up No Limit Hold ’em tournament as our answer to March Madness… we call it MaREC Madness!
Sixteen members of the RecPoker core team and community will be facing off in a heads-up bracket to determine this year’s Heads-Up Champion of RecPoker. The winners earn a shout out on the RecPoker podcast and some serious bragging rights.
Watch on Twitch Tuesdays
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 first round matchups
Tuesday, March 26: 8:00 pm CST — 4 second round matchups
