#693: Live Tells, Close River Check Backs and Playing Against Occasionals
This week's episode is the second of two special Saturday releases where Bart changes his schedule to play on some of the best days of the year (after holidays). He discusses the different style of play that he saw when the table was full of mostly recreational, "occasional" players and also went through his thought process in changing some of his in hand decision making due to live tells.
