Great podcast. Loved the tactical section about position, interesting and educational for a relative novice like myself. Thanks.

I thought Matt Parvis had a great presence. It’s interesting to have just audio on the podcast, so I could sense his general ease and honesty without need of defensiveness. I didn’t see the video interview with Lederer, but generally the body language is so telling and we rely on that in forming opinions and responses. It was interesting how Matt explained that his strategy included not coming on too strong to have Lederer get cold feet and cancel the interview all together. The long hot day could lead to both letting down defenses, as well as other factors Matt would have changed if he could have. Considering I know very litte of poker strategy, I did sense that Matt probably gained more information than if he had tried to force issues. There is a time for ruthlessness and a time for yielding. Another stellar guest and interview for your podcast- thanks.

Best sound quality yet. Score one for Frankenstorm.
Good of you to introduce a broader audience to Matt Parvis. I can’t say he nailed the Lederer interview, but I enjoyed his interview with you guys. He came across as genuine, and worth following.
Thanks.
