	Description:		Benjamin Reason began playing the violin at the age of 4. It wasn’t so long after that that he discovered poker, and although the latter eventually subsumed the former, he remains a music aficionado (“a recovering music snob”, as he puts it). We talk poker, coaching, staking, traveling, Buddhism, literature, teaching music, and listening to music. You can follow Benjamin on Twitter @Reasons14 and watch his instructional videos at Tournament Poker Edge. He recommends reading Sapiens and The Four Hour Work Week and listening to Sigur Rós, Denali, Portishead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Radiohead. Timestamps 0:30 – hello and welcome 4:33 – PLO8 strategy 28:12 – benjamin reason Strategy Three-handed $10/$25/$50 PLO8. Villain raises from the SB to $175 announcing that he “almost never does this”. I pause, question him, and he states that he raised blind. I don’t know him well enough to know if this is always the truth. I raise to 550 with A2QQshhd. Button folds and villain makes it 1650. I called and the flop was K85 rainbow. He quickly bets the pot of $3350 leaving $7000 effective behind.
