“So JK Rowling who wrote Harry Potter and, you know, billionaire author, right?”
“Of course, my masterclass does a good job of compartmentalizing how to attack the game on a deeper level. You wrote a book, I think about 10 years ago, called 'Power Hold 'Em Strategy.' It's interesting to think how much of the material in that book still applies and how much doesn't.”
