## Resource

I know technically last week was Ep. 49 1/2, so we should be at Ep. 50 — but in order to keep things on track with when we actually started putting the podcast out, I made this week’s episode Ep. 51. We’re kicking off the new year with a brand-new intro for the show! You’ll hear a version of it here, and if you want to check out the full intro, head over to our Patreon page. Elle and I are around the table for Table Talk, breaking down some of the poker action kicking off the new year and discussing Bryn Kenney becoming the first player ever to surpass $80 million in live tournament cashes. In Call the Floor, Elliott rules on a situation where a player failed to make their larger denomination chips visible — a reminder that you need to keep those visible at all times. Patrick and I battle it out in Hand of the Week, playing A♠ J♠ from middle position, and talking through the decisions that come with it. I wrap things up with Joe’s One Outer, focusing on the decision we all face this time of year — what to carry forward into the New Year and what’s better left behind.
