    The Lock-In 77 - Ari Engel

    The Lock-In 77 - Ari Engel

    This week, we are locked in with Ari Engel, a man who has more rings than he does fingers.

    Dara gives his best health advice while Ari talks about his struggle to maintain good eating habits on the road (bust out ice-cream and celebratory ice-cream).

    There is a brief chat on the Spanish tax worries as they pertain to EPT Barcelona which segues to more advice-giving - this time on how best to weather live downswings.

    The lads discuss the upcoming three-way clash between WPT, EPT and WSOP. David and Dara wax lyrical on their preference for the Wynn while Ari admits to never planning more than two days ahead ever.

    The conversation ends with a very modest Ari talking about his back-to-back nights 14th and 15th circuit ring wins. In light of all the fanfare that came with these results, he discusses the value of having invested in a crack marketing team.

    Before he signs off, David reminds the audience about the extensive list of upcoming live events that are sponsored by Unibet Poker and can be qualified for on the online client right now.

For strategy, Dara and David look at a hand played by Dara at the WSOP in which he deviated to an exploitative line with the flopped nuts. Bo Jin stops by to discuss poker in Asia. Plus, Barry Carter takes a funny look at the week's news!

    The Lock-In - Merit Western Series 2023

    The Lock-In - Merit Western Series 2023

    This week, we are locked into the commentary booth at the Merit Poker Retro Series in North Cyprus.

    Dara and David analyse the action in the $2200 Warm-Up and $5300 Highroller events as well as two wild high-stakes cash games.

    The big topic under discussion is the Spanish tax situation and the way that it may affect EPT/Estrellas Barcelona. There are a few reasons to believe that overseas players may not be chased for tax on winnings but no clear cut assurances either so David and Dara explain the logic behind their decision to just play Estrellas week and forgo the higher buy-in tournaments.

    There is also a discussion of the upcoming week-long Unibet Summer Knockout Festival (Aug 27-Sep 3) which spins into a chat about how the games on Unibet Poker are noticeably bigger than ever before. Obviously, David claims that it is because of his raw sex appeal but, sensibly, Dara offers other reasons.
