Welcome back to another edition of This Week in Poker Podcasts. It has been a little while, and I hope everyone was able to catch some of the great content that was produced in my absence. Regardless, I am back from my hiatus and ready to take an inside look at the Poker Podcast Directory.
This week there were three podcasts that were recommended to me by users of the directory. So let’s check those shows out and see what they have to offer.
Of the three, the one that came with the most amount of praise was Thinking Poker featuring Steve Day from PokerStars.
Steve is no stranger to podcast audiences, so many listeners will find his style familiar. He was very comfortable chatting with Andrew and Nate on a variety of PokerStars topics: One of the more interesting for me was on the decision-making process for new features in the client. He stressed that 2013 would be the year PokerStars focuses on features for the recreational player.
The interview starts around the 1 hour mark, but its worth listening to the full podcast if you have time: there’s a very interesting discussion earlier on about the usefulness of “must move” tables in live casinos.
Another podcast that came recommended this week is Rabbit Hunt. Matt takes the audience through his experience at the iGaming North America conference, in particular a “players speak!” session on which Matt sat on the panel.
If you are interested in the development of the online gaming industry and you were unable to attend the conference, definitely give this episode a listen to get an idea of the types of topics that were discussed.
Under the Gun – Tourney Tracks was the other poker podcast that came recommended this week. Chris takes the audience through the recent release of the WSOP schedule and the happenings on the Minnesota poker scene.
Though Adam wasn’t around to host the show, he did prerecord an interview with Robbie Strazynski, the owner of the brand new app Poker Notes Live. This handy app allows players at a live poker table to easily take notes on their opponents while at the table. The app organizes your notes into preflop and postflop categories and allows you to assign style tags to players for easy recognition.
That’s all for this week. As usual, feel free to leave your own reviews, rip on mine, or suggest other poker podcasts for my listening pleasure.
