Glad to see the Invitational starts earlier than before and hopped right in. Wasn't it supposed to be PLO 6max? We are playing full ring PLH....

Select the Private tab.

Hm, I found the conversation (because it was more that than an interview) to be quite interesting, espicially since Shaun Deeb seemed *very* open (much more so than other interviewees and interviewers/hosts on other broadcasts or podcasts) about deal making at WSOP final tables, the amounts and people involved in the Hastings prop bets etc.

And because this was the case, very much +1 to the following:

I generally like Shaun Deeb's appearances on the show, but I did have a few problems with things he said in this episode.

His differentiation between him appraising Arieh and Grinder's play in one game and the anonymous pro talking about his game doesn't hold water. Their tactics *may* have been more obvious but not everyone pays that much attention.

He can't look after his son while his wife plays one tournament? Plus taking care of your own child isn't babysitting!

~44:44 Shaun Deeb: "He's asian, he knows Badugi."

Sounds a bit racist to me.

Yet another discriminatory comment that the hosts let slide because it was said by someone who didn't have the last name Brunson.

The false outrage being posted ITT is silly. Do you guys really give a **** if Deeb refers to looking after his kid as babysitting? And if he made an off colour joke? How is it racist? The anonymity of the Internet combined with the narcissism of modern people gives everyone the belief that it's their job to stand on a pedestal and scream their judgement on everything they see and hear. Get over yourselves.

Did anyone pick up on the fact that Ross 'forgot' to add Tchans twitter handle in on the add break? He said something like "ohhhh you joined the show two weeks after that".

Obviously Ross is a little bit jelly with the amount of followers Tchan has and is trying whatever he can to stop him getting more followers - pretty immature either way and just shows to go that ****s about to go down between ross and tchan.

"KICK HIM IN THE JUNK"

source: I am clued on to these type of things as I am on a different wave length due to smoking a lot of dank ass bud

OHHH before I forget... Anyone also remember a show maybe 2 weeks ago where they talk about the fight T had...? Terence wasn't in the studio so they called him up and the first thing he does is needle Ross by saying some remark about the 'hit him in the face' drop that's going to be played a heap.... and ross had to do a fake laugh but he was spewing inside raging from that Tchan needle... poor ross, gotta feel for the kid sometimes.... just wish these two would sort their fkn sh.it out already and get on with it

The people commenting on his use of the term babysitting are beyond moronic. They need a new word for how stupid you are.

You should probably cut the weed smoking down to like, 20 hours a day or so.

hahaha... I would if I didn't sleep for 12 hours each day!

I go for these 3 hour walks through out melbourne with a few pre rolled doobies, listening to the pokercast and am always cracking up laughing in the middle of no where when I hear all this stuff. If I only remembered everything I told myself to write in the thread on my walks, I could come up with a few more of these theories.

Anyway besides all that I really do love the show, all 3 of you do a great job and listening to the cast gets me through a lot of walks. I don't really think there's **** about to go down between ross and T but I do like a bit of drama and controversy so I hope sh*t is about to go down.......


PS - what's it like hanging out with ross in vegas when he doesn't drink? is he able to still have fun with everyone and join in on the shenanigans? I don't imagine him to be like 'that one guy' who doesn't drink but goes out on the town, yet hates hanging around loud friendly drunk people. Maybe ross likes to smoke weed hence the no drinking??

I don't think that Terence is a big drinker either.

It's just Adam and MJ

Confirmed.

I love that term "false outrage," and it's everywhere, not just in this thread.

Earlier this month, Seinfeld made a bunch of headlines about not appearing on college campuses anymore because of exactly that trend (which I can attest to, as a university employee). Adam Carolla more or less corroborated the sentiment in another interview, further saying that the PC police don't really care about these causes, but that by acting outraged by a comment, they get to prop themselves up as a societal hero.

If you go to any outlet that reported this, check out the comments section — nothing but false outrage. So the comments slamming Seinfeld for his statement further supports his statement. That's comedy.

Which brings me to...

I would be astonished if there was one Asian listener who took offense to this*. It was a joke. Maybe it was infused with a little commentary on our own tendencies to stereotype, but still a joke. Nothing more, and no intelligent listener of the Pokercast should interpret it otherwise.

If Deeb had said something like, "He's Asian, so we shouldn't care what he thinks" or "he's Asian, so he shouldn't even have been allowed in the building" — AND was serious about it — then we can cry foul about discrimination/racism.



Now, with that said, in before all people named Brunson fill this thread with complaints that someone would make such a discriminatory comment about their name.

Every time I take a political compass test I come out at the extreme end of the liberal scale yet the idea of trigger warnings has to be the single dumbest idea ever conceived.

TChan and Idema going strong in the $10k LHE!!! GO GO GO!!!! Pokercast karma!!

Looking forward to this weeks pokercast.
Hope we get to hear about T´s fight with the mighty Huck Seed.

When's the next episode coming out?

Later today

Just finished listening

everyone that had complaints I disagree with

Shaun Deeb was on great form, is not a bad parent, is not racist and he was, as he always is, very interesting.

I did notice however that he can speak without taking a breath and without a verbal tick as far as I can tell. Pretty impressive.

Sound quality was not perfect but hey it was explained in the show why this was the case and it was no where near as bad as people were making out.

Are you twitching it? If so, what time does it start?

Thanks dude, you're awesome. Love the show.

Patiently refreshing

Thanks for reading out my question. Agree with both TChan and Adam. I think I will be realistic and game select well in NLHE and maybe take the time to learn PLO as well.

Yeah, Shaun's the racist, not Todd.
