#589: Hidden Hands and Special Treatment
This week, Bart takes a non-hand call from a female poker player who received a little special treatment when a tablemate saved her hand as she was about to muck it. He also breaks down another caller’s hand without knowing the hole cards, putting himself in the hero’s shoes and playing the spot blind.
