Episode #457 - April 27th, 2017

Live from the Two Plus Two Studios - This week on the Pokercast: Sam Grafton aka squid poker of Run It Once joins us to teach us more about MTT’s! To begin: the show is going on the road to Montreal, our Canucks get a cooler coach than your team, The Bellagio goes live on twitch and more. In the news this week: Online poker shelved in Cali, PLO Spin & Go’s, Party Poker Million Nottingham has a female champ and WPT Beijing. Sam Grafton joins us after a break to talk about that tournament in Nottingham, travelling as a poker pro and some more in depth tournament strategy. Then the owner of 2+2 Mason Malmuth joins us again on a special day for the company, the 30th anniversary! We chat with Mason about the beginnings, from self publishing a book 3 decades ago to becoming the largest poker forum on the web. We’ve also got some 140 or less, some Mailbag including some Voicemail and a couple of hands in the Ross Report.

Feels like it has been so long. Love the new Sklansky drop.

Just in time! I was having withdrawal headaches.

Thirsty Third.

Also, "30 yrs of 2+2 with Mason Malmuth." Or, as Negreanu would call it, 29 too many.

Missed it

Skalansky Minutes! Well, that will make me happy, but it is amazing how upset people get over something that can be skipped so easily.

Yesssssssss

Missed you guys!

What's the name of this Chinese poker site?

I don't know if you guys understand how much I have anticipated Matthew Janda's new book "Applications of No-Limit Hold em".

Is it out yet?

It is! Mike from professionalpoker.com can tell you all about it. They take credit cards, paypal and even neteller!

You know the criminal thing about the Spin and PLOs?

Very good interview with Sam. His viewpoint on how the poker landscape might form in the coming years is definitely very interesting.

A minor point for TC, autophagy derives from ancient Greek and not Latin.

Don't mess with the Spartans!

Stop saying PIN number! Tilts me to no end, along with ATM machine and NIC card. Other than that, good ep

No idea what a NIC card is, but what are we supposed to call PIN's and ATM's?

1). The grammar nits will soon admonish you for incorrect usage of apostrophes
2). NIC = National Insurance Card
3). Here's an example sentence: "If you tell me your PIN, I will get you some money from the ATM."

I meant a Network Interface Card, but the results are the same. And yes, xander has it correct.

In more 457 news- while I feel for Ross, it is comforting to hear that good poker players have the same astonishingly awful run-bads and feelings about them (expecting every hand to go sideways) as us regular plebes.

1) "Notting-um" not "Notting-ham"
2) I would listen to Sam Grafton talk for 20 minutes about what he had for breakfast.

Enjoyed Sam Grafton as well. I would rather have Sklansky and Mason on to discuss their past and old poker stories then on any new theories they have about tilt.
