PartTimePoker.com Podcast

Abe Limon joins our hosts for a no-holds barred discussion of scummy behaviour in the poker world and elsewhere.

Special guest Miikka Antonen

Two guests showed up for this longer-than-usual episode of the PartTimePoker Podcast: Short stack specialist and rookie PTP writer Lorin Yelle, and renowned staring expert Mike “Timex” McDonald. The focus for the episode was originally meant to be the latest Man vs. Machine poker contest, but although that topic does get covered, the bulk of the episode is a long and fascinating conversation with Mike, covering a wide range of topics related to his new business Pokershares. For the strategy segment, Lorin discusses his history with short-stacking, and offers the hosts some pointers.

Feats of strength are impossible to perform over the internet, but Alex, Andrew and guest Kat Arnsby indulge in the other great Festivus tradition, the airing of grievances. The list of things the trio have to complain about includes the changes PokerStars has announced for 2017, Marty Derbyshire and his firing from PokerNews, President-Elect Trump, and being put in a gross turn spot with bottom set on a wet board.

With guest Adam Small of PocketFives, Andrew and Alex discuss the outcome of this year’s WSOP Main Event final table, the unpredictable and entertaining style of its champion Qui Nguyen, the poor turnout for the PokerStars Festival New Jersey, and the US election, the results of which were not known at the time of recording. For strategy, it’s back to the November Nine, and a hand played between Kenny Hallaert and Michael Ruane during the first day.
