Episode 6: Gary Wise and Tyresias Return

Gary Wise was nice enough to be on the show again to answer fan mail left for him the last time he was on. Bit of a heater in terms tournaments, taking down 2 tournaments and a super turbo. Tyresias also returns talks HR2267, Sorel Mizzi's rule breaking, and the controversy overseas.

Good show lined up. Next up, Court Harrington and Ryan "g0lfa" D'Angelo!

Episode 4: Gary Wise of ESPN

On this week's show we have Gary Wise of ESPN.COM and The popular Poker Beat Radio show on Poker road.com

Gary Wise will talk about poker in politics, and poker in the media. He's head strong, that's for sure. Anyways, It was a great interview. Hopefully I can get Huff on to respond to some of the things said about him and BJ Nemeth.
No real HH this time around, but I did win a tournament this week.

The Pro-Log Episode 2: Interview with Barry Greenstein

noreply@blogger.com (The unicorn Lord) — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 04:38:00 +0000

Episode2: With Barry Greenstien

Wow, only 2 episodes in and I got one of the biggest names in poker: Barry "Bear" Greenstien on the show! It was amazing how much more details his thought process is compared to mine. I hope to get as good as poker as him someday, so his insights really helped out.
One thing though: He took up a whole hour! Not that I mind, but I didn't have any room for another segment. Oh well, less work for Uni, right? Just sit back and drink the knowledge from the Barry Fountain.

He did the Hand Analysis section. And these were the hands I gave him.
