Hey guys,

In our final episode before the grand final, we will have a jam packed show for you guys, including 2 interviews with pub poker guns, Mike "bionicmike" Raines and James "mitchymitch" Mitchell.


We are primarily going to talk to mike about grand final preparation, and generally what the experience is like, given that he has several very deep runs.

we are then going to talk some strategy with mitchymitch. as you guys might know from his videos, he is great at talking strategy, so we are going to ask him about deep stacked play, and the transition from pub poker to a grand final structure.
Mitchy plays pretty much full time now, so if you have any questions about that, feel free to ask.

Here is a bit of a background on him

Background:
Started playing poker about 4 yrs ago, we had a weekly tournament on myt first deployment with the navy and thats where i learnt about the game, started to learn more about it and then found out about an online training site and found out the potential money to be made on online poker. i started off grinding 25nl cash and couldnt beat the game (looking back now, i has some massive leakslol) so i decided to get coaching, i then switched to grinding 15 tables of sngs but got board of it very quick, so then i switched to mtts, i made about 50 - 80k playing them and tehn i won the the first online champs ME and got a 14k package to the aussie mills main event, didnt win obv. i decided to give the MTTS a rest because the hours are so bad and it was affecting my health, so i switched to HUsngs and with some mentoring i now grind 100 and 200 HUsngs, i started at 10's and worked my way up from there and the rest is history




It is your show, so we would love for you guys to get involved. You can ask anything you like of our guests, what its like going deep in tournaments, tips and strategies, general questions.

A really good question would definitely put you in the running for the mistress poker t-shirt, which will be given away on this show.

Fire away guys!

How do you prepare for the 888pl GF vs say, a $200 tournament at Crown/online.

An honest answer here would be much appreciated.
