Episode #377 - August 20th, 2015

Live from the Two Plus Two Studios - This week on the Pokercast: The boyz are back in the hood after a week off, they watched some movie about a rap crew and they are pretty pumped up about it. Adam proposes we start the Internet Poker Wall of Fame and Terrence will be back in the ring. This week in “In Case You Missed It”: Pokerstars is joining the daily fantasy sports market and we bring DFS expert Dustin Gouker on to explain the industry side of this move, Adam and Terrence update you on some new developments in the Brian Hastings scandal, Jungleman loses $5M, Hellmuth streams on twitch, the Borgata cheater is jailed and more! Zach Elwood then joins us, Zach has been studying poker tells for years and his book “Reading Poker Tells” has made players re-think the way they perceive tells at the table. Zach gives us some pointers and talks about his new forum on 2+2. After the second break the guys catch you up on a bit more news, Adam previews a new game for the show, some of Ross’ hands are reviewed in the Rossco report and the crew share some of their favourite things. The password to the Pokerstars Invitational is also included within the show!

1st!

the 2nd first!

Turd again

Extended podium...

In

Statistical tie for first.

It's possible I missed heard Phill because I didn't see any follow up anywhere but at one point the twitch chat asked about Lederer and Phil said something to the effect that we don't have all the facts, basically making excuses for him.

Damn it Terrence. Really disappointed with your passive take on vpning. Really sick of people shrugging that off like it's not a big deal. People literally have uprooted their families or moved away from their family and friends all to try making a living because they want to do it the right way. And you wanna get in a damn semantics argument with Adam about how it isn't cheating the actual player. Ugh.

get rid of the doug lee drop

do you know for a fact that Isai has played online poker?

I would love to hear an interview with the guy from Victoria.

Doug lee drop should be gone

Votes:

Doug Lee drop 2
Other one I can't remember right now - 0

I'm torn. I don't like the Doug Lee drop, but the Ivey drop is in the category of drops that are too long and interrupt the flow.

Can we request an edit? If the Ivey drop is edited down to "That's nasty," then I vote Doug Lee off the island. If the Ivey drop remains at its current length, then I vote Ivey off the island.

Get rid of Doug Lee

Good show boys, i think the new segments are awsome, and looking forward to hear more.

Adam, interesting to hear you will be in San Francisco soon, I am moving there myself in a few weeks, although I'v visited many times before, Im interested to hear a mini trip report form you when you return, and get your opinion on the city.

Yeah, good question. We know immediately that he hasn't played on PokerStars (or should not have) which means he would have had to play for a competitor. My guess is on no.

I think that's valid.

And I'm pretty sure Terrence can confirm Isai has played at least 1 hand of online poker... at least early on in testing or beta, on full tilt or now after he sold the company. I'd think it's nearly impossible for him not to have played online poker.

Or prior to Pokerstars...

On his smart phone during board meetings...

Hey guys what about inducting Pokercast game 3x winners from now on to the Wall of Fame. Should be easy keeping a record each week of the winner on a separate thread.

I thought that would be the only chance that he would have played, but still not guaranteed.

Still think that the question is worth asking

No surprise all the Stars reps were 'busy' this week....

Doug Lee has to go.

But I'm ok with editing the Ivey drop.
