Episode 4 released this week! The 2006 WSOP Main Event; The First (and last) Gold Dynasty.

For anyone on the fence about checking out yet another poker podcast; here are a few of the things that set us apart from all the other podcasts out there:

-No politics discussed EVER
-No ads, no product placement, no lame "2 minute canned commercials in the middle of an episode"
-No ego, we call it how it is with poker, we know we aren't pros but we know what's good and bad poker
-We appreciate every single view/comment/response
-And of course, there is not a single podcast out there that discusses the Main Event from an episodic perspective!

"And speaking of protecting your hand... NordVPN!"
"That's what you get for not listening to the TD. And you're gonna listen to anything, you might as well go with Raycon earbuds..."
"Haxton was just hoping for a clean flop... just like you get from Manscaped!"


You get the idea.

Next episode covers the 2007 WSOP main event; the start of the 2nd half of the "classic WSOP" era; new changes to the episodes; graphics, style of coverage, greater emphasis on the poker.

All requests/questions will be covered in the upcoming podcast!

And if you're highlighted in the coverage, let us know and we'd be happy to have you guest star in the show!
