Interview with Jeff Madsen
Everyone at the Rio was talking about Jeff Madsen during the WSOP after the just-turned 21-year-old became the youngest player to win a World Series bracelet – make that two of ‘em.

Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums?

Thanks.
Next time you interview a pro (or a new pro) can you ask about the agreement with the poker rooms?
i.e Does he get paid to play there, do they stake them at tournaments , what does he have to do etc...
Just curious.
Thanks
Danny
