Ask Alex Episode 203 “Work Ethic & Poker Ethics”

In this episode we catch up for the first time in 2019. We also talk about work ethic, the good, the bad & the ugly.

We announce the 3 winners of Alex’s latest book Exploitative Play In Live Poker.

We also discuss an interesting subject sent in by a listener, it’s all about the ethics & morality of poker. Should you feel guilty or bad for winning money from someone who can’t afford to lose it? Are the morals and ethical decisions we face different in cash games than they are in tournament poker?

A nice light subject for us to start 2019!
