Great 47 minute segment. Cleared up a lot of mystery about slots, video poker and BJ. The tips on Netflix shows was also very informative!
Michael is an exceptional guest, a man of great intelligence, and helpful to all players. His video poker calculator is extremely helpful for those that take video poker seriously.
