4th (thanks Ross and Team)

This is getting ridic now

For an insight as to why the WSOP was so messed up this year and why there was so much sensitivity to the suggestion of a Player's Advisory Committee, one needs only to understand the tremendous pressures Mr. Effel, Ty Stewart, and Seth Palansky are under due to the bankruptcy. Fortune magazine writer William D. Cohan penned a major article on Caesar's bankruptcy last month.

When you read Mr. Cohan's piece, it becomes clear as to why there is so much penny pinching and operational missteps like the Modiano cards. The Caesar's/WSOP executives, (i.e. Mr. Stewart, Mr. Effel, Mr. Palansky, and Mitch Garber), are under tremendous pressure to cut costs to the bone and try to make as much money as possible from the WSOP. The bankruptcy - and all the problems that has created - is the key to all the missteps and shabby treatment of players. Any idea or suggestion (from players) that will cost a dollar is likely to be both resented and rejected.

7up (hi pope)

Great show as ever, y'all. Can someone put me out of my misery for that 9993 plo problem. Ive been thinking all afternoon and i need to get some work done!

'It seems to be synergistic with their verticals.' - TChan

Buzzword bingo.

took me quite some time with the PLO riddle. But ended up getting it! Last one took some time to figure out.

Next topic for Pokercast Madness: Pokercast Madness topics.

Matt and Kim is really solid..Thanks Ross!

I actually said it incorrectly, the hand is supposed to be 9333. Which is actually much tougher than 9993.

Answer below, but DO NOT CLICK until you've really given up on figuring it out! Trust me, it's very gratifying to get the third way, once you've racked your brain and could only come up with two for the longest time.

question for next weeks show see how many of the three get it and dont look up the answer
Thirty cows in a field, twenty eight chickens. How many didn't?

Can someone post the 9993 riddle here? I'm several episodes behind...

Name the three types of boards that the Omaha hand 9333 can make the nuts

??? I could name a lot more than that.

Are there any conditions?

Nope, knock your self out posting all the solutions (in spoiler tags ofc)

What are the conditions xander?

I really suck at this.

The last couple of weeks Adam's been quicker to interrupt guests. It's a pretty tough spot because many people think they have more to say but they are just going to reiterate.

I can't help but think M.J. must have given some advice. M.J. was very clever about doing this, he would cut the guy off very quickly after a last syllable and ask a question in a way that seemed like he was picking up on a point the guest made, where Adam is coming in just a fraction later when the guest has already formulated a sentence.

Query about possible additional hand(s)

Great show, really enjoyed the interview and the random talk ofcourse (as always)!

Thanks for the music Ross!

Also, keep the drops coming but wise choice not to use them during interviews. I don't mind the lenghty ones personally.
