Poker professional, “Raising the Nuts” vlogger and podcast host Trevor Savage enters the GRID to talk about a 2013 cash game hand in which Trevor held Six-Nine Suited. Trevor is a New Jersey based online pro, but he’s recently been crossing the bridge to play on PokerStars PA, so Trevor and Jennifer recorded this episode live in Philly.

Trevor related a hilarious hand history ending in an epic call (in practice!), that illustrates his philosophy toward poker at the time. He and Jen discuss how his approach to poker has changed since, a mental health breakdown he had later in 2013 and the fun behind his “meet-up” games, where he plays almost every hand on the GRID. Trevor explained to Jen that proceeds from a recent meet-up game in Maryland Live benefited Strong Minds, one of the charities featured in previous GRID guest Dan Smith’s “Double Up Drive”, a matching charity initiative.

Trevor also discusses what parenting and poker have in common, and how his meditation practice helps him distinguish between emotion and intuition.

Follow Trevor on twitter, Instagram and raisingthenuts.com. You can also find his vlogs on Raising the Nuts, and his eponymous podcast on parenting, nutrition and mental health with his wife Jody Savage.

Now that Trevor has discussed six-nine suited on the GRID, there are 145 combos remaining on thepokergrid.com.
