Changes coming to our broadcast . . .

You will find tonight's broadcast in the usual spots . . . either on the broadcast page on this site or directly from the LaPokerNostra Twitch channel. But that will soon change, slightly.

Beginning next week (3.12.16) The Impromptu will be broadcast on its own Twitch channel. Circumstance created the opportunity, and I made the decision to launch a new channel just for our game. You will find us each week at Twitch.tv/TheImpromptu.

The broadcast page on this site will be updated following tonight's game, and will be carrying the new channel for the next game. So, as always, you can find the broadcast clicking the page tab above.

We extend our thanks to lapokernostra.net for hosting the show and look forward to the future, and hope you will come along for the ride!
