Tune in for some inside information and check out the video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM6GN1BWxjU&amp;t=10s" target="_blank">here</a>. Our poser today (22:15) is whether to make a hero call in a hand Dean plays where a villain with a wide bluffing range bets big at a river. The strat-chat hand (53:45) from patron Brannen Hough has us squirming on a river, wondering whether a hero fold might indeed be the right way to go. Minor audio quality issues were experienced during the opening 12 minutes only.
