Actually might be a really interesting suggestion imo. You only had american / european players on the pod so far but after all asia is the most GTO place at the moment when it comes to poker. And Phua has a lot of videos on his youtube channel, not only with the old pros like Ivey and Dwan but also the new generation like Holz or Trueteller, so there definitely are some shareworthy stories to be had from him.
On his website he also states that he worked his way up "from a humble background" to the wealthy businessman he is today. These videos are so odd though and the biography on his site as well. Definitely believable that there's some shady stuff going on as the article you quoted suggested. Not sure he'd even be interested in being on the pod. The triad probably prefers to stay low profile
I'm glad Joey is talking about bots in a recent vid. It seems like bots are running rampant from what I'm hearing. Online poker is already a beaten dog and bots running amuck is just another HUGE reason for any new people to stay away.
