Episode 1: Small Stakes Grinders

Whew! First show finished. It was a lot of work but it was fun learning the new programs I'll be using. Small Stakes Grinder Podcast host Spartan comes on and talks to me about his podcast and beginner mistakes (after the interview, he pointed out a few I made, too) . His blog can be found at http://spartanfox.com

Tyresias was the guest on Hand Analysis today, reviewing these hands from my down fall session at 5nlh.
