About the Show
Hello guys, I am Václav "Lemon" Dušek and have been doing online live shows for close to 9 years now on the PokerStrategy platform. I had folks like Jared Tendler, Benjamin Rolle, Wiktor Malinowski, Tommy Angelo and many others on the online format over the years.
.
I come from Starcraft/Liquid Poker and have actually been studying with folks like LLinusLLove and Wiktor all the way back when they were at NL25/NL50, sweating each other and going over hands, and have worked with Peter "Marshall28" who's been really my best friend in the community. But unlike these crushers, I never progressed as they did and the highest I played was NL400, with my main stake being NL100 and mostly coaching micro stakes and focusing on the entertainment side. In the past year, I have dabbled into politics, being part of Czech presidential campaigns back end, and doing research for EU and government institutions in the field alongside poker. And now I have decided to combine my skillset and experience to start doing live interviews.

Eric de Solo
In the first live format, I caught up with a Polish entrepreneur Eric de Solo at the Polish Poker Championships in Bratislava. With literally zero experience but a lot of enthusiasm, he decided to use most of his poker bankroll to jump into poker publishing/translations. It took him two years to get the rights, translate and publish his first book, Moorman's Book of Poker in Poland. Since then his publishing house Player has translated and published many books from big poker names, and his next one will be one about PLO from Jnandez. Check it out as we talk about poker books, battles for poker legislation and other topics, and let me know your feedback!

Well, this one will be for niche old-school folks out there. If nothing else, enjoy the fast-cut intro! There is now an all-but-dead site Liquid Poker, an offshoot of TeamLiquid, at first Starcraft:Broodwar only clan and forum.

Players like Elky, Joeingram or the legendary WSOP Bulldozer Hevad Khan originate from there. I sat down with Rick "PuertoRican" Sanchez in vegas who never made it big in poker but has a lot of knowledge about the old-school former Starcraft legends who switched to this great game.

Maybe you guys know Barry Carter - he co-wrote a lot of books on poker, and he gave my noob ass a rundown on how to run tourney satties, take a look:




P.S. I am still looking for Limon's contact info, PM if you have his email etc :]

Oh boy, I had a little bit too much fun with this review of Beyond GTO:

My job now is to read the entirety of
I am a literal legend of gambling, ask me anything.

So I am ready for Limon! We will probably try to do a live stream with chat on YouTube and then release a cut video so nobody misses out - Limon read your Discord dammit :P


And I tried something different in my Vlog: fewer cuts, more poker, and more commenting while I walk around the local sights:

sweet.

TwoPlusTwo icon Limon, UNCENSORED!
When? Saturday 30 March 8PM PDT - LA Time (11PM EDT)
Where? Live on YouTube! Join us in the chat!


Let's hear what Limon will have to say about his recent ban, his AMA thread and why WSOP isn't real poker!


I am waking up at 3 AM to talk to this absolute legend. For the European Audience, don't worry - there will be a recording, a highlight video and a Spotify version.

he's got a much older thread that's worth perusing to source questions

Post here anything you want me to look at besides AMA and the legendary former stickied post about how to play

Let's go! On soon

Lemon & Limon? I'm waiting

Lol, I mentioned your AMA getting fewer views right off the bat and there you were - thanks for coming! The Black Gary story was indeed epic

18+ Full recording - but don't worry if you missed it, we will have the podcast, clips coming over next weeks

Limon is a damn legend for coming in!

was fun. thanks buddy.

Thanks for
A) Coming on
B) Honestly the most fun I ever had doing research on someone

This is a ****ing golden timeless classic:




The edited version will come next week - I need to level out the sounds, and will probably do some clips too, stay tuned guys - the raw version will stay on youtube

We getting some traction boys- I even got very accurately roasted

Limon processed pod with level sound, clips of the Luminary's work and 2p2 posts embedded will probably take a couple weeks still, sorry guys - I've been really busy and want to make it good


I feel like when Limon says he has that **** you money, I have that **** you level of subscribers now - I've been doing socials for under half year now and get to really experiment with random stuff, see what sticks, fail a lot - Basically I realize I'm in the good old days I will look back at fondly one day - thank you all who go on the wild all over the place cringe ride with me on my channel
