Hey Joey, can you / anyone who has it, post or link the positive person vs negative person picture you had up during your stream a day or two ago.

I've tried to find it, but can't find the one you had.

Joey would just loan him the roll lol

Joey i'v sent a FB message to you. Your 2+2 inbox is full.

Taylor Caby would be interesting if possible

Can you get DN on the show to talk about the rapeback changes ?

Big fan of the podcast, pads was great. Would be great for him to come back on sometime. Christoph vogelsang would be great and dan colman would be cool too. An interesting story would be alex trevallion (alextrev) hsnl player who shot up the stakes pretty quickly post black friday. Love the work, keep it up.

def +1 Alextrev

There is a pretty clear gap between the people who are legit smart and interesting (Rast, Haralabob etc), these people that have lived, in a way that have made their lives interesting and getting on some MSNL guy or some SNG guy.

I really hope Joey continues to get the top guests on and doesn't just churn out a bunch with SNG guys who sat for 200 hours a month playing the shear excitement that is 10-20bb poker.

Cliffs: Internet poker nerds, particularly those of the SNG variety, aren't interesting 👍🏻

FYP^

It's not a strat podcast so what does the number of BBs a format plays matter?

The idea behind 'poker life' for a podcast, one would think, would be that it provides an all encompassing theme.

You're just assuming that because a player has a shallow stacked grind that they aren't interesting as people.

If you're gonna have guests who have success in MTTs you gotta have people who have success in sngs. Especially because some of the sng guys are up more $ than most "successful" regs lifetime.

I'm always amazed at how little credit sng grinders get. I feel like so many people just assume they could beat sngs just because they win at cash. I think people who have no experience would fail at finding the edges, discipline, work ethic it takes to grind sngs.

Fwiw I play cash.

i think chances are equal if theyre interesting or not whether a guy play cash, sng, or solitare. wtf man.

+2

+3

If I were a motorbike operator in the far East, I would probably pedal really fast at a gang of poker players while shouting in an incomprehensible language.

get alex donato on for some PUA strat plz

Kanu7
Andy Moseley
Sam Trickett

^Kanu is the only shot, the other 2 would be close to 0% to go on.

Fwiw I made the same remark about getting mid stake grinder cash players, obviously I'd have the same view on guys who grind $40-250 MTTs.

I just think as the podcast grows it's good to have the calibre of guest grow.

A lot of us can somewhat relate to a succesfull midstakes grinder who is doing very well etc... and are interested in how they work. Those people aren't necessarily boring nerds. I'm sure there's a lot of interesting things they have to say both about poker and life. I don't see why someone like alextrev or some guy crushing midstakes in 2015 wouldn't be a good guest. It would bring some variety. I don't know how much time Joey has and how many people he can get on but unless he's already got a ton of more interesting people lined up it can't hurt to have some of those guys on.

Doing a double dose of pods today

4pm EST talking nba, dfs nba and adventures from the WSOP this summer with my friend Michael McNeil aka potodds3 on Twitter. He is probably more well known to the older school players but he loves NBA and playing ball more than I do and we wanted a reason to do a pod together.

Also tonight at 9pm EST with the very polarizing Limon I had Limon on before when we did a dual-cast together and the reviews on him were pretty mixed. This time it will be him joining me on mine only so it might be a bit less chaotic than the first time. I always enjoy talking with him.

'internet poker nerds' lol

#liveregs

I think he said already that he's not really into gay stuff.

WP, sir!

lol madness


Also lined up we have


This Friday 3pm EST with b4dger1 on 2p2 aka baadger on Pokerstars. Badger is a 2/5+ PLO player from Finland who is on his way to SNE for this year. Will be fun to get to know another PLO regular.

Next Weds at 4pm EST with Ben Wilinofsky aka NeverScaredB

I asked TC a long time back when I first started but might not have been big time enough then to be bothered with it. Will have to revisit the idea with him. Would love to get him on.


We might have this happening but will have to wait and see what happens on DNs side of things.


Alextrev would be GTO to get on. As would the other guys. Glad you enjoyed the Padscast. Will def get him back on in the future


One of the biggest things I enjoy about having the pod is the ability to have on people from various parts of the poker world and have that discussion be interesting in some type of way. I haven't really had to many MSNL/SNG online guys on the podcast but if I was to have more on, I would think they would be interesting in there own way. With someone like Tyler Forrester who is a longtime MSNL player, I found him super interesting to talk with. I'm sure the SNG world has its own cast of characters that are interesting in how they might live life or volume they have put it or the success/lack thereof they have had from it. I know someone like JDawg lives one of the most entertaining day-day lives right now of almost any poker player I know.

This is definitely one of the goals I have with the podcast.


That might get them pretty heated, I've done well on not making them upset


I think the midstakes grinders are really relatable for a lot of professional poker players right now and is something that many people out there playing poker strive to be one day. I'm sure everyone would love to be endboss status and playing the highest stakes but I think a good number of poker players realize that if they get to midstakes at some point in there lives or can rise from Micro/Small stakes to beating midstakes that they will have really made it in poker. I know I get a good number of the higher stakes guys from the online and live part of the poker world watching the podcast and I've always really set out to make most of my content appeal to them. I've talked about this a bit over time but one of the few main reasons I started doing the podcast was because I wanted to make content that someone like me would enjoy. There really isn't much out there for high stakes players to enjoy as most of what is being created right now is presented at recreational/low level poker players because that is the large majority of the poker audience. Most of these type of people aren't very interested in MSNL grinders for the most part. I also don't know have relationships with MSNL grinders these days like I have with PLO players so I don't really know who are the crushers or the super interesting people in the community. I usually have people in my head for awhile that I want to get on and at some point I decide to ask the person or it will come up in general conversation with us. That really never happens with MSNL or SNG guys because I don't them much. Even with the higher stakes NL guys right now I don't really think about them that much because I'm not very focused on that side of the online world right now. I went off on a bit of a ramble right now but maybe someone will take something out of this lol

I've actually had her on for 2 in studio, 2 regular and 1 sex only podcast Agree they are pretty funny when I watch them back, I think we have pretty good chemistry together.



Will make this happen sooner than later


Also on the shorter version of the list for the near future


Thanks for the posts ITT octopus, you've taken the time out to put some thoughts into multiple posts so I will do the same.

Do you have any examples of this papito? I have a few ideas on why that might be if so. With some of the female guests I've had on, my relationship with them is sometimes a bit different outside of the podcast than some of my male guests. That might lead me to be more inclined to interrupt something they might be saying. I think my general approach to having conversation with women greatly differs from with men so it might actually be something I do way more often then I realize in and out of the podcast so I will have to pay more attention to that. In some of the instances you might be noticing, I could see something like that happening if the topic was focused on something that was a more advanced poker idea with a couple of the guests who aren't very big poker players. I might just talk over certain types of guests male/female sometimes without realizing it as well but I don't think it would be specific only to women.


I think this would be more of a consideration for me if I wasn't doing the podcasts mainly for fun. I really dislike having to worry about not staying on a subject too long that I might think is funny because some people out there listening might not. If i find something funny, I want to talk about it for 30 minutes sometimes, the people listening must suffer or turn it off or never listen again. I think I would rather not worry about it on the rare occasion it does happen and lose some people listening than knowingly worry about it or similar things to it to retain some people but enjoy it less myself doing it.


You REALLY need to consider some of the SNG guys out there for your podcasts. A lot of them have stronger results and more interesting lives than the vast majority of cash and MTT players.


We should be getting Jdawg on sooner than later and with the other 2 I would imagine we could see them on one day. I really do want to have a SNG guy on the podcast.


That is a very interesting read by you Frankie, I was one of the two of those but I've been on adderall for probably 80% of the podcasts so that isn't out of the ordinary. I did just get out of bed about 10 mins prior to starting the episode without much sleep so that is probably what you were noticing.

I did think Kristin was a really interesting person but I wanted to keep the conversation mainly focused on her poker business and general topics pertaining to poker. I didn't want the entire conversation to be focused on her in general which is why in the first part I didn't follow up with much of the things she said pertaining to getting crazy stories out of her. I wanted to set up a bit about who she was outside of her business for people listening but mainly focus more on the specifics of what she does.


haha, what?


I think this is probably the case because you have a decent idea who most of the guests are therefore you are more interested when they talk about those things. I know I get that way sometimes when somebody I know or respect is talking about something I will pay more attention to what they say and put more stock into it. But when someone I don't know anything about is talking about the same thing, I sometimes don't have a reason to put much value into it and I will get bored and find it uninteresting.




Will Message him

Gracias!

Hoping to get one of those guys on before the year ends



lolol


For a number of reasons I do not think this will happen

I reached out to Kara about a year ago to get her on but it was a no go, will try again


I am not sure I am ready to be a moderator in a heated debate but it sure would be entertaining. I would rather watch something like this happen instead of being in the middle of it
