Pokercast 452 - Alan Boston & Mason Malmuth - Page 2 - Two Plus Two Pokercast

I could listen to Alan Boston forever. What a great guy. So genuine and puts his whole heart into everything he does. Is he a little blind about Howard Lederer's role in the Full Tilt collapse? Sure, but at least he's showing great loyalty...

Loyality seems to be the only thing that counts today. Same with the other case he talked about. Defending someone with just "He is a great guy and he would not steal 30m because he does not need it." There have been so many greedy "great guys" who commited crimes for less money they needed even less.

I have been listening to the Pokercast for many many years and as far as I can tell, I have always listened to every episode from beginning to end. But between Alan Boston and the thing with Preet Bharara this is the first time I am noping out of an episode early.

^ Biggest movement so far this tournament

Who else screamed and jumped up and down after OK St drained that inconsequential buzzer 3? I remember Boston helped me hit one like that with OH St in 2009. Great feeling.

wow, some interviews seem easy but you definitely had your work cut out for you this week with both guests.

I also think it's hilarious that T pronounced Athanasios Polychronopoulos correctly immediately after mispronouncing Barry Greenstein's name

Just the tops .. down to earth, funny, lucid and he gets the tips right.

I make it 2 for 2 .. Bucknell + 14 .. lost by 6. (so a winner)
Rhode Island

hearty congrats .. maybe we can get a Boston Red T-shirt / with a pokercast logo ?

Am sure more than a few listeners would buy.

TIL expert poker players don't change their play during incredibly long sessions and losing 30+ buyins in a session.

Yet another awesome interview with King Alan Boston! Loved it and, Adam, always admire/love the way you just let him go..for the most part. Great stuff. I wish Alan had a handle on how much people love him and hearing him spout.

Mason...wow. Had a nice unplanned 30 min nap shortly after that interview started.

Great show again! Thanks to all of you - including Mason - for all you do to entertain us degens!

Some non NCAA basketball discussion of the show:

Daylight Savings #1: Arizona doesn't do that **** because we aren't idiots.

Daylight Savings #2: I've read many claims that the day after 'Spring Forward' has the most traffic accidents that aren't alcohol related.

Molly's Game: It is a really light easy read, I think I read it in 4-5 days total. I would really recommend it. If you compare it to Positively Fifth Street, it is so much easier and better to read through. PFS drags on and seems really dull, Molly's Game was a real page turner to me. Go for it prior to the movie!
