I am going live shortly with Michael Josem.

Michael is a former Pokerstars security team expert, current Coin Poker head of security & the man who helped uncover the old AB/UB cheating!!

Interesting show.

(I have approached several gaming regulators and the prospects for getting a crypto-based, even blockchain-driven gambling site licensed are actually encouraging .... not for the US market but certainly in significant parts of the ROW.)

ICO money grab. People will buy their tokens to play. These tokens have no intrinsic value and Coin Poker doesn't guarantee any sort of price floor for these tokens. If site is doing well and getting more depositors (especially during initial promo periods), they can just issue more tokens. If site is doing poorly, new customers don't need these tokens, market for these tokens evaporates, and your tokens will be worthless.

Joey: "Can US players play?"

Head of security: "That's a super good question. I don't know off the top of my head."

He is literally in charge of security and doesn't know (as per his words) if US players (world's biggest poker market) are allowed on the site. Pretty much sums up his knowledge on security overall

What makes it even worse is that he was in charge of this specific thing as one of his roles in Stars

I don't see it addressed on the website at all, maybe it's something they aren't publicly addressing?? I will follow up with Josem about it.

I'm going to have David Peters on the podcast tonight at 6pm EST. David is one of the best tournament players in the world right now and someone I don't know much about but have always wanted to.

This is the answer that the CoinPoker rep has posted a few times in their thread in IP:

Seems to be a don't ask, don't tell type of thing

Along with what you asked him yesterday, it would be great if you asked him if he was aware (before it was sent) regarding the email that CoinPoker sent to the TonyBet database announcing CoinPoker. Also what his thoughts on it were, and if he tried to stop it being sent (if he knew before)

Players' data not being secure and CoinPoker using data sourced from 3rd parties is a pretty poor start to an online poker site in 2017/2018.

Also, their own site terms & conditions make no mentions of bots, collusion, multi-accounting, fraud, abuse etc:

David Peters has a hilarious avatar on pokerstars (monkey from Family guy who lives in Chris' closet). Please ask him what other tv shows he likes, especially comedies.

Does he play any live cash/ the great game?

get bigblindbets on the pod

Joey, not sure what your schedule is for these pods or if you're just kinda winging it, but I have a few recommendations for who to have on next (especially since you're trying to grind two a week)

In no particular order:

1. Chris Kruk (RunItOnce Coach & MTT Crusher)
2. Haralabob (Listening to your first one with him & it's awesome)
3. Elky (since leaving PokerStars)
4. Scott Seiver
5. Ben Lamb

Reach Guests:
1. Durrr
2. Isludur
3. Gus Hansen
4. Ivey
5. Antonios
6. Doyle
7. Barry Greinstein
8. Eli Elezra
9. Viffer (again pls)

Also, another fun idea - you should potentially get a person from the 2+2 Forums on a pod once a month. Maybe ask for an interesting story, or some other anecdote that would make a good pod.

Cheers!

Get mmasherdog on, he’ll probably want audio only, which is fine with me

Will be live in about 30 mins w/ Sam Simmons. Sam is the Vice President of Content for PokerCentral & Poker Go.

Bobby Sura seems like an obvious pick to be on the Pod considering you get a guy to cover your nba prop bet but he also plays poker, including a few times on PAD.

Perhaps he can recommend or get you in touch with a few other nba players in the process who would be willing to do the pod.

Arlie Shaban joins me on the podcast today. Arlie just completed 125 days straight streaming poker on Twitch and now has the longest streak in poker. He is an up and coming tournament poker player with an insane work ethic and great attitude. He was also on Big Brother Canada.

When abouts are you going to stream with globalpoker ceo?

. . .

Joey just a thought, maybe You could run a prop bet to see who You can have on the show, I'll wager on Your side first bet, . . .

Will be live Tuesday aka Today at 1pm EST with Jason Mo

I was playing against the bots, GTO to play against bots that are crushing at microstakes w/ high rakeback.

Joey i cant pm you because your inbox is full.

i'm sure you'll read up on the recent botting investigations on globalpoker, should be interesting to hear you ask them about that.

Cross posting so Joey sees as I'm sure he has played with this guy at some point.
