Live from the Two Plus Two Studios, September 18th 2012 - Lederer Interview Analysis plus Matt Salsberg - This week on the Two Plus Two PokerCast Mike and Adam analyze the first two parts of the interview Full Tilt Poker co-founder Howard Lederer did with PokerNews. They connect with Noah Stephens-Davidowitz & Brian Horton formally of SubjectPoker.com to get their take on this highly anticipated release from Lederer.

Matt joins the guys to talk about his win at the WPT Paris Grand Prix, his deep run at last years' Main Event and his work on the hit television series Weeds.

WPT Final Table!

And I'm definitely looking forward to this discussion.

Mike,

It's not the Colonel Klink, it's the Sergeant Schultz.

Bah, only an hour into Episode 237. At least I am not as tardy as the banner ad that is still advertising epsidoe 236.

Wow, am I Billy Kopp again?

Hopefully pokernews got the room for free that they did the interview in since they are clearly doing free marketing for Venetian.

Part 4 just came out. of the 130 million in phatom deposits, only 10m remained in the accounts of the people who actually deposited the funds.

The huge difference produced by the backlog probably suggests that some people really took advantage, either by playing extremely recklessly or by essentially dumping chips and cashing out the phantom deposit.

I really think that in the next year we'll start to see some case examples where this happened.

Looking forward to the Salsberg interview. Played many a tournament and cash game with him in LA. One of the nice guys in poker.

Howard's memory looks to me exactly like the recall capacity of a person who's spread too thin. There's no additional free memory space to be flexible and recall details that aren't readily available.

I would imagine if we were ever to find out who 'actually took advantage', and to what extent, the names on that list, and the amounts, might raise an eyebrow or two.

But I'm guessing those are deep dark secrets never to be discovered.

(just starting to listen to show, only the opening Howard joke so far, keeping an ear out for Colonel Klink/Sergeant Schultz ref)

Part 4 of the Pokernews interview was much more conversational. I think its gradually just getting better.

I actually hoped for a very long time that this interview would happen. We needed someone to sit down and basically ask "what happened". Online poker is still a young industry in some respects. There are some big lessons to learn.

I just make the pretty pictures your holiness...not nearly responsible enough to have server access.

FYP

I listen to 24 episodes of the pokercast a time

This

and this

Just a minute in, but Bunner saying "Bonjourrr" at the beginning just made my day.

I don't know how to describe it, it's heartwarming and hilarious at the same time.

Thanks man!

Can we get a LC thread in pokercast?

I want to discuss this with people, but don't know where would be right, and I always value your opinions.


Is this a major faux-pas by Sam Trickett?
