Summary
Welcome back! For the 3rd episode in a row we are joined by an OG in the poker world, this week it's Adam Levy, better known as Roothlus, often remembered as the man on the receiving end of Phil Hellmuth's "he called my raise with the queen ten hunny!" rant. He told us about playing with Phil and JRB, learning how to play poker with the legend lilholdem (RIP), what he's up to now, how poker can really mess with your head sometimes, some tips and advice, and more. Was a great, chill convo about poker and life. We think everyone will love this one, so enjoy!
