One of the most interesting episodes, fascinating to listen to the info from the conference in Las Vegas this past week.

Why not interview Marco from Quad Jacks as he really has the most up to date info regarding internet gambling.

Thanks again Guys, great episode

That was fun to listen too. 2nd best of year. Previous poster obviously forgot about the Phil Ivey episode which so far is the best of the year.

Big fan of Joe, enjoyed his old podcast. Hopefully he has slowed down on the wine since then. His sense of humor didn't come thru as much on this interview, but always enjoyed his style and humor.

Only thing that bothered me was when talking about how everyone has their piece in the online horse racing. If I remember correctly the huge rake for the betting was mentioned in relation to this (I think 18% was mentioned) and it was not seen as a problem. We'll if it's unbeatable and people are still playing is that an issue? I think so as it hurts the long term sustainability. Just concerned about translating that to future online poker rake in American online poker. Hopefully competition takes care of this but hope their is a focus on making the game beatable for those who work at it.

And Adam, seriously you had to mention that story of drinking the 'juice'. His girlfriend is cool as hell for not running away after that.

No. Just water free.

Loved the show. Thought Farah was a fun twist.

You guys tried to talk Barry G into putting his girlfriend on once but she wouldn't go for it.

a Bellatrix sighting...always a pleasant addition to this forum

As for Joe Tall...hmmm....I like Joe but once a year is definitely enough. How many times did I hear MJ dozing during Joe's various wanderings???

I'm still reeling from the revelation that Joe Tall isn't called Joe Tall

far far the best show of the year, i really liked the guests during the whole show!

I have and thanks!

You will not have to worry about poker, the horse racing industry carries extreme overhead costs and as you can imagine, this is quite different than online poker.

My point was more that there is a 3.5 billion/yr online wagering industry, regulated, legal, paying taxes, with many groups very happy, in the US, across state lines, and no one knows or ever hears about it.

So not only can regulation work for iGaming, specifically iPoker, its already happening.

My segment was last and I had about 4 beers by then! I did have to lean to my computer and check my notes a few times, I'm not about to quote anything without the facts in front of me. Hope you enjoyed it other wise.

Take care,
Joe

Well if it helps, my friends call my wife Mrs Tall. So, while its not the name on my passport, its pretty much been my name since I was 6'5" at age 16.

But there are fundamental differences in the types of bets and the games being wagered on.

Horse racing has the live component of the event that you are wagering on. A company takes the wager and pays out on the results of the race run.

Online poker [and other games] rely first and foremost on random number generators which can easily be flawed by accident or on purpose. Then you have the game itself, poker, being played between competitors. There are multiple ways that players can collude outside of the software itself. You have to consider the security of the software. The owners/admins of sites have multiple potential ways to cheat. The communication between the user and site. Then we have to trust the sites to pay out and to pay out promptly. Then we have to enforce age limits for the players. How do you prove that Bob's account is being played by Bob and not his under age child who 'borrowed' the ID and credit card to set up the account (or even when Bob allows his child to play)? This is something that B&M locations still can't do 100% of the time. Or that someone isn't buying identities to create account(s) and creating a pool of players?

We've seen regulated companies fail at most of these things at one time or another already.

All these challenges exist (to an extent) and have been overcome by the ADW (Advance Deposit Wagering) industry.

Farrah for co-host... Female voice would be a strong add...

Just my opinion...

Great episode! I found the discussion on Sheldon Adelson very interesting. I actually saw a story on fridays MSNBC Rachel Maddow show about Adelson. It was a good piece about Adelson and his anti internet gaming stances. Some main stream media cover this but not enough. I hope those two bills in congress get squashed!

Help a brotha out. I can't find the "Bump" thread in low limit PLO by Skervjoy?

Great show guys, really ejoyed it! It would be hard to go wrong with such great guests and having them in studio made it even better!

You 're on a hot streak!

Saw this post and it made me think of the pokercast

In Canada, even the robbers are polite.

It says file not found when I try to listen to this through 2+2 and won't let me download it separately either.

Fantastic show guys.

Great guests, great format.

Enjoyed every minute....apart from Adam's piss drinking incident.

Just finished listening. It's depressing to hear the state of poker in the US.

Funniest moment. Finally a female in the studio, Adam confesses to world he took a swig from the pee bottle.

Great show & guests.
