Carlos Welch is a poker player, coach and writer for PokerNews and Tournament Poker Edge. He’s known as the “man in a van”, as he travels from stop to stop in pursuit of stretching his poker success with both skillful play and frugality.

Carlos talks to Jen Shahade on the GRID about a hand against “Phil Laak” in an online WSOP bracelet hand with king-queen offsuit. In this hand, Welch tried to play a more theoretical or “GTO” style than he is used to from his bread and butter games.

They discuss typical life leaks of poker professionals, and tips for saving money. Carlos also talks about his work and friendship with Andrew Brokos of the thinking poker podcast, including their joint strategy videos on single table satellites.

Welch goes by HipHop101Trivia on twitter and he reveals to Jennifer his favorite hip-hop songs to grind poker to, as well as the hip-hop artist he thinks would be most fearsome at the poker table. Find Carlos on twitter or his coaching website, Medicore Poker at https://www.facebook.com/mediocrepoker.
