In the first ever PPP double poser episode, we then all offer an avalanche of advice to anyone wanting to play a live event for the first time. The stratchat hand is from ...

Postflop Poker Podcast - Episode 55 - Facing A Donk Bet
Following the orange theme of Carroters in E54, Merv promises some red colour in the near future, but what could he mean?
