Wicked Chops Podcast: Discussing and Debating The Walking Dead


The Walking Dead: best drama on TV or overhyped crap? We debate and dicuss...and give T-Dogg his due.

Just getting Part II of our podcast up. No poker here. 100% discussing and debating The Walking Dead.

We’re joined by an esteemed panel, including Jason Newitt, Dave “F-Train” Behr, Jeff Holsey, and Entities Chops and Colin.

If you were a fan of the show, you’ll like the debate. We discuss problems with the show, the differences between the show and the comic, and the unfortunate underdevelopment of everyone’s favorite character, T-Dogg.

Wicked Chops Podcast: Breaking Down Tilt-Tapie, MGM-Bwin.Party, Industry Action


You'll like our latest podcast almost as much as our guest Dave Behr likes Asians. Almost.

New Wicked Chops Podcast is now up on iTunes and embedded in this post.

We’re joined by Dave “F-Train” Behr. After a quick look at the 2011 WSOP final table and Poker Hall of Fame voting, we breakdown the bevy of industry deals the past few weeks. Some highlights:

  • Why the Tilt acquisition actually makes some economic sense for Groupe Bernard Tapie.
  • Why Boyd Gaming might be involved in the MGM-Bwin.party partnership.
  • Why Fertitta Interactive went for a change in direction by acquiring Cyberarts.
F-Train always makes a good guest, and there’s a lot of information packed in under an hour. As F-Train would say, “Pop pop!”

Wicked Chops Podcast: Terrible Tuesday


Ray Bitar and Howard Lederer rolled the dice that Full Tilt would recover from its payment processing issues--and lost.

On the latest Wicked Chops Podcast, we’re joined by poker lawyer/”journalist” Dave “F-Train” Behr to discuss the amended civil charges issued Tuesday against Full Tilt Poker Board of Director members Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Ray Bitar, and Rafe Furst.

Key discussion points include:

  • What exactly the amendment means–and why it was issued as a civil complaint versus criminal charges.
  • Why the other FTP shareholders were NOT named (yet).
  • Why Terrible TuesdayTM feels dirtier than The Events of 4/15TM.
  • Did someone flipping lead to Tuesday’s amendment?
  • Why the mainstream media is mislabeling the charges as a “ponzi scheme” instead of what Tilt really is–a poorly company that shouldn’t have issued dividend payments after facing payment processing issues.
  • Is this the end of Tilt?
