Jennifer Shahade welcomes fellow PokerStars Ambassador Keith “Accidental Grenade” Becker to the GRID. Keith, who also goes by whoopsboom brings a hand from the PokerStars PA Winter Series, where he captured an event win in the final stretch.
In his GRID moment, Keith had king-ten offsuit, with no heart. In an iconic spot about 45 big blinds deep, Keith three bet a button open from the small blind. He explains his thought process on the board, which ran out 3h 6d Jh 7h 6h.
Keith and Jen use the hand as a portal to discuss how key it is for people with limited study time to focus on spots that recur frequently. Keith also reveals some of the challenges he faces in playing his best while streaming, and talks about his dual Thursday night streams with fellow PokerStars PA streamer, Naigo. He also imparts how important it is for him to make a difference in his content, from creating a friendlier community to advocating for LGBTQ+ rights.
