All In With Randy Lew
To many poker players, PokerStars Team Pro Online member Randy "Nanonoko" Lew is one of the top minds in the game, especially when it comes to online ring games where he earned over $1 million in profits since November 2009 while rarely playing higher than $5/$10 no-limit hold'em.
Last Sunday, Lew gave his fans an unique opportunity to pick his mind, when, according to the PokerStars Blog post All In with Nanonoko, he answered questions in real time on any poker-related topic on the PokerSchoolOnline Twitch channel.
There were two ways you were able to interact with Lew in hopes he answers your poker-related questions. First, you were able to post your question ahead of time in this thread on the PokerSchoolOnline poker forum. If you preferred asking in real-time, you were able to do so while Lew is broadcasting via Twitter by including #AskNanonoko in your social media post.
*Edit: The event took place Sunday Apr. 26 and not on May 3, as initially stated. *
Discover on the PokerStars Blog how you can get any poker-related question answered by Lew this Sunday.
