“We need to EXPAND the poker industry!!” – Norman Chad
Ever wonder what poker’s iconic voice, Norman Chad, really thinks about the biggest controversies shaking the game? Well, I sat down with the legend himself to unravel exactly that. Norman, famed for his razor-sharp wit and signature humor, opens up about the shadowy corners of poker, including his brutally honest take on online poker scandals, the fine line between justice and vengeance, and why integrity in the game is not just crucial—it’s absolutely necessary.Norman shares some deeply personal stories and reveals his own struggles with morality at the poker table, including a confession he’s carried for years: “Taking justice into my own hands—I’ve regretted it ever since.” We dive into ghosting, Full Tilt, and edge-sorting—discussing how easy it is to flirt with ethical lines, and why the poker community urgently needs its own “untouchables” to uphold integrity.But it’s not all doom and gloom. We also explore how poker can become more than just winning or losing—how the game, at its core, has the power to shape character, teach critical life lessons, and potentially even serve a greater good. Norman’s insights and brutal honesty are not just entertaining—they’re vital. Tune in, and let’s shine a little light into poker’s murky depths.

Embattled Poker Pro Brad Booth Vows to Make Amends
Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level. In the 25th episode, Connor speaks with embattled poker pro Brad Booth about learning poker from his grandfather, climbing up stakes in Canada, living at the Bellagio and playing in Bobby’s Room, bluffing Phil Ivey and getting cheated on Ultimate Bet. Booth, who the poker community hasn’t heard from for several years, opened up about his absence and going missing in 2020, as well as his gambling addiction and various poker debts to players like Doug Polk that he says he plans to make right. “I got caught up in all of it and all I can try and do is make right now,” he told PokerNews of his poker debts.

Why Some Poker Decisions Don’t Matter (And The Ones That Do) · S7E5
Poker isn’t always black and white, but too many players treat it that way. In this episode of the Red Chip Poker Podcast, we dive deep into one of the biggest mindset shifts that separates winning players from the rest: understanding which decisions actually impact your win rate and which ones you can stop overanalyzing. You’ve probably heard debates at the table: Should you always c-bet second pair? Should you always call in a given spot? The truth is, many hands are played with mixed strategies, meaning there’s no single correct line—and getting lost in solver outputs won’t make you a better player. Instead, the biggest leaks in most players’ games come from clear, black-and-white mistakes—things like failing to defend the big blind, missing profitable river value bets, or calling without the right odds.
