Twitter Q&A With Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier
On Thursday night, Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier paused his open-face Chinese poker games for a moment to talk with his fans.
He tweeted out to this more than 70,000 followers, saying that he would be fielding questions for 30 minutes. Mercier's only caveat was that they had to be reasonable and he wouldn't answer questions regarding poker strategy.
