Episode 36: Two selections from special guest Ryan Laplante and a short board game discussion

Here at Just Hands Poker we're all about the in-depth hand analysis. So in the past when we've had interesting guests on and had some nice conversation not directly about poker or the hand we're discussing, we've typically cut that from the episode. For this week we tried something new - instead of cutting my discussion about the shared love of board games Ryan and I have, we've released it as a separate episode, 36b. So if you want just the hand in the spirit of the show, listen to just 36a. But for those of you who are curious about which board games Ryan and I are passionate about, we've got a short 10 minute mini-episode for you. This is something we're considering doing for all future guest episodes so we'd love to hear your feedback on what you think!
