Today I’m delighted to be joined by dual guests… the exceptionally talented father/daughter duo who finished 3rd in the Tag Team Event at the 2021 Fall WSOP… Amanda and David Botfeld.

Amanda is a multiple time guest on CPG who has been published in the Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, & the Los Angeles Times and is the author of “A Girl’s Guide to Poker”.

David Botfeld has seemingly been successful at most things he’s tried his hand at… including grinding cards in California back in the legendary 60’s & 70’s.

When Amanda first approached me about having her and her dad on the podcast my first reaction was, “Well, what’s the worst that could happen?”
Ahh.. always priming myself for the downside.

Instead of realizing the downside, instead the conversation you’re about to listen to was exceptionally valuable to myself as a human being.

David is a very generous human being chalk full of wisdom he’s happy to share with you, his daughter is a chip off the old block, and it’s very easy for me to understand why their family has had such outsized success in whatever venture they undertake.

Now, without any further ado, I bring to you the Daddy/Daughter Tag Team of Amanda & David Botfeld.

This week Brad Wilson and Duncan Palamourdas have a discussion on spirituality, consciousness and self-awareness.

Today’s guest on CPG needs no introduction but he’s gonna get one anyway…

Jonathan Little has amassed $7.4 million in lifetime live MTT cashes (Including 2 WPT titles & the season 6 WPT Player of the Year award), has built an audience of more than 127,000 on YouTube, and runs one of the largest poker training platforms on the market PokerCoaching.com.

He’s also a collector… which makes a lot of sense considering his background in Magic: The Gathering & the sheer coaching talent he’s put together (Including yours truly) over at PokerCoaching.com.

And because of his unquenchable appetite for collecting all the things, he’s also recently launched an NFT project with *SHOCKER* actual real-world utility called “Deck of Degeneracy”.

The premise is simple enough that it makes sense even to an NFT noob like myself :

JL & his crew minted 50 decks of 54 playing cards (a whopping 2,700 total NFTs designed by artist Wes Henry) and, by owning an NFTs, you get access to a membership club.

Once you’re in, JL & his team have come up with fun challenges (like collecting a Royal Flush) so that you can earn additional perks like a 1% freeroll in the $50k Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open that’s worth ~$500.

If you’d like to learn more outside of this podcast episode, you can also head to DeckofDegeneracy.com.

Now, without any further ado, I bring to you the founder of PokerCoaching.com and great friend of the CPG podcast… the one and only Jonathan Little.

On this week’s episode, Coach Brad and Jon go over two hands where Jon gets dealt pocket kings. Tune in to learn how Coach Brad thinks Jon should have played them.

Join Brad Wilson and Duncan Palamourdas in their conversation on arguably one of the most mysterious traits of poker players, intuition. Crediting the villager George for his excellent suggestion, the philosophical duo tries to define the concept, argue for its necessity, discuss its applicability to poker and ultimately investigate how it can be cultivated to improve win rates.
