    I took the upswing poker courses and have become so much better at rivering flushes. Unfortunately, I only seem to do so on double paired boards... so it has become a tad expensive.

    I think the last* session for hands between 12,000-12,500 should be streamed by both with hole cards and a delay of course. If there is a second 12,500 round, only then Daniel will be able to learn from that, but a small sample size. But you will also learn a little how he plays and already up 2 million by that point haha.
