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 Tuesday Nights
Watch the matches unfold every Tuesday night in March at 8:00pm CT on our YouTube channel. Hole cards will be shown and RECing Crew members (and perhaps some special guests) will be commentating LIVE on the play.
