This week, Bart breaks down when small bluffs make sense in live cash games. He also introduces semi-bluff protection, a concept focused on semi-bluffing earlier in the hand to prevent opponents from realizing equity or bluffing you off the best hand on later streets.

Jeff Gross sits down with Garrett Adelstein, one of the most recognizable and respected high-stakes cash game players in the world, just two weeks before the release of his debut memoir, Beneath the Cards, out September 1st. Garrett explains what it actually took to write it: more than three years of drafts, therapy sessions that turned into pages, and a story far bigger than the headline he is best known for. He opens up about how the controversial Jack4 hand at Hustler Casino Live became the unexpected catalyst for the whole project, why he still doesn't feel he has every answer, and how he reads the public perception of that night today. From there the two go back to the beginning: grinding online as a college freshman in 2004, running his bankroll to nearly a million dollars by graduation, then losing almost all of it in six months. Garrett gets candid about the on-and-off mental health cycles that peaked on his 30th birthday, the harmony-not-balance philosophy he uses to raise two young kids while still chasing big goals, why he believes it is harder than ever to build a poker career today, and why the game deserves far more credit for the real-world skills it teaches.
