PokerNews Podcast: Ana Marquez
It's Sarah Herring coming at you from Bucharest with a brand new episode of the PokerNews Podcast.
She flies solo on this one for a minute ([Removed:139] is probably firing some nightly tournament somewhere in Vegas), but then gets some help from 888poker ambassador Ana Marquez.
The two dive into a wide-ranging conversation at the 888poker LIVE event in Bucharest, discussing bankroll management, vloggers, tournament strategy, and more!
Plus, Sarah takes a look at the top stories in the poker world.
This week's sponsor: Natural8!

23:00 | Should poker rooms be accommodating towards vloggers? "I think it's a good idea, I think vlogging is really cool, it's attracting more attention to the game." |
27:20 | Do women get treated differently at the poker table in different countries? "Everywhere is kinda the same, I don't see it so much, I don't notice it so much." |
33:00 | GTO conversation: "I think there's more talk than actually what's going on. Everyone talks about GTO, how many people are actually implementing it right?" |
37:30 | Are a lot of young players still coming into the game? "Maybe it has to do with the high roller scene. When the young kids came when I started playing poker and everything, there was no high roller scene. It was easier for all of us to jump into high stakes...it was easier to make money back then." |
42:00 | Goals for 2019: "I'm trying to learn to have small goals. I'm trying to do things little by little. I always have too many big goals and too much expectations." |
45:40 | Turning into a tournament grinder: "Everything you do before tournaments builds how your game is going to be. Sit-n-go players are pretty good with short stack in tournaments, cash game players are good playing deep...I'm a firm believer if you want to be an elite poker player, you have to dig in all the varieties." |
54:50 | Next week: Jeff will take over hosting duties while Sarah travels back...he'll be joined by 2017 WSOP Main Event Champion Scott Blumstein! |
