There's a bunch of Baja Fresh's here in the Portland, OR area. According to Google maps, they are sprinkled in a few different places across the US. Looks like your closest is down in Everett, WA.

Buffer easily represents the simple fact that we are not all created equal. Strong, smart, articulate, easy to listen to and even good at poker. No need for personal admissions here, as my point's easily apparent. (Dammit)

Baja Fresh have been all over Portland, Or and Vancouver, WA for a few years. Very good.

This was a really good show. The live setting vibe is coming across really good.

Bruce Buffer was surprisingly entertaining. I would really pay a good amount to see him having a drunk Chuck Liddel's back while he's knocking people out cold in the street. You should improv more often.

My mother and sister were in the car during "Favorite Things" and were very amused by your fascination with Baja Fresh.

Uber and Lyft definitely caused a stir in many large metropolitan areas because, at least at the beginning, they were basically facilitating a taxi service without complying with basic things like....being licensed as a taxi service. The traditional taxi companies did not like that at all.

Great show as always team.

I'd like to thank you guys from a couple weeks ago when Brian was on. You mentioned the weekly shootouts, and about an hour prior to the deadline I hopped on and earned 30 VPPs about ten minutes short of the deadline. I logged in today and found my account with $500 more dollars in it! Sick heater right now. #pokercastkarma

Mike & Adam,

Is there any way you two can fix the "How much ya got" segments? It is kind of ridiculous that you both put in guesses. How about one person set a line, and the other guess over/under. Then each time switch up who sets the line and who guesses.

Another option is to just write down their guesses and reveal to each other.

Keep playing the game though--it's fun.

Pokercast karma in full effect. Mimi Luu is at the final table of WPT *ROLLING THUNDER* after being mentioned in the pokercast, along with one of the two tournament directors from bay101(who both cashed) who is the massive chip leader going into the final 6

Also, Adam has been getting killed for years. This just gives him a chance to win once in a while, and fail horribly when he thinks he has tricked Mike into going one way and whiffs.
