Customer Reviews
Look forward to this every week!!
If you are casual poker fan or a high stakes crusher it doesn’t matter tune in and you won’t be disappointed by this podcast. The hosts have striked the balance perfectly with this pod, it is both informative and interesting whilst being hilarious in equal measure. David has the ability to get max value from the guests. You get an insight to their poker background whilst getting their opinion on the latest poker news, be it a trend, scandal, or even a success story and non poker related stuff like crypto and politics. David will often come to Dara throughout who through his own experiences always has something valuable to add to the conversation. Aside from the guests I can’t finish without mentioning the strategy segment. Which gives the listener a chance to listen to Dara’s thoughts on a specific hand usually accompanied by one of the high level players involved. Definitely gets the brain ticking over and will leave you eager to hit the poker streets.
