Male Speaker 1:
[0:00] You might remember Jimmy from his TV appearance a couple of years ago when he took second place at the Aussie Millions at the age of 19. Since then, Jimmy has gone on to have some more tournament success - winning an event at the Bellagio last fall being his biggest score - but he is also playing the cash games. And I am excited to have him on the show to talk about those cash games because he is one of the people who not only plays at a high level but can describe his thinking and the logic behind the actions he is taking also at a high level. And so we are going to primarily talk about the difference between saying "all-in" when you have got a monster hand and how to bet to extract value from your opponent or get them to make a really bad decision, but we are going to cover a lot of bases as well and answer some e-mails and break down a couple of hands from the forums. But last weekend saw a nice little [1:00] reunion of sorts for all of the Poker Road crew, as everyone was in town for the "Dream Team Poker Tournament" and I have the - well, I am not exactly sure how to say it so I am just going to put it out there. I was eliminated from the event by team Two Jacks member Joe Stapleton. Yes, the king of Italian harry comedy did knock me out of the tournament. I - there is just nothing else to say. Why he would be gunning for me, you know, another Poker Road member, I do not know. But my ace eight went down in flames to his kings when I pushed from the button as a short stack and that was all she wrote for me. Unfortunately - no one else from Poker Road was able to cash. Came really close on a few occasions. I know that the contest winner from team Two Jacks in the Hole bubbled, unfortunately. But [2:00] it was a lot of fun. It was a blast playing in that tournament and normally I won't be talking about tournaments on here but I just thought it was a good spot to just acknowledge the poker prowess...
