AI Bots, superusers and scandals: The revamped Only Friends podcast jumps into it all.

You can read more on those stories here and here.

Doug Polk breaking down some top stories from the WSOP Main Event.

Doug always puts out good videos, and this one rounds up the action at the Main, including his own hand reviews of his run. However, Polk goes on to say that maybe one reason participation is down at this year’s Main Event is due to the fact that online gambling is now available in many states. This means people don’t need to travel to play live poker—they can do so from the comfort of home. Just to remind everyone, online poker is only legal in a handful of US states, notably (New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Michigan). Anything else is grey-market at best, and I doubt it has any bearing on WSOP Main Event participation levels.

Wow, this is a super transparent response from QQPK.

Pads is right, this is a really heartening response when some companies don’t even bother to comment.

First it was 724 bots. Now it might be over 12K.

These are insane numbers if true. Someone fire up an investigation already.

Calling from the small blind remains a problem.

It is often said that you should play your small blind as a raise or a fold. However, sometimes your odds are too good, and you want to see that flop. Yet, as Fitzgerald points out, the core issue remains, as you have to play the entire hand out of position, and good players won’t make it easy for you.
