Will Rounders 2 do Erik Seidel a solid, and, you know, show he had the way better career than Johnny Chan the master?
No This Week in Poker yesterday, so instead we did a very TWiP-ish episode of our Wicked Chops Podcast.
Joining us (and taking your q’s) on the podcast is the man who is absolutely knocking 2011 upside the head, Erik Seidel. He talks music, Rounders 2, and of course, the $3.5M-ish he’s won over the past 30 days.
Jess Welman covers poker headlines and bashes Norm MacDonald. Sorry Jess, he’s no Paula Poundstone.
The latest ep of This Week in Poker is up. Watch above or on YouTube here, or download/subscribe on iTunes.
Our first show of 2011 was a packed one. Joining us in the studio was newly signed Team UB pro Prahlad Friedman, who addresses whether he sold out by signing with the poker site that once stole millions from him, the response to his signing from Daniel Negreanu and who else he’d like to see on Team UB.
Later in the show Vanessa Selbst, joined us live from the PCA to talk about being named Wicked Chops Poker Player of the Year and answer viewer questions. And finally, Forbes writer Nathan Vardi skyped in to talk about the seizure of online funds by the Feds in Washington state.
All that plus Jess Welman delivers the Poker Headlines for the week.
Prahlad Friedman will take your questions on today's This Week in Poker.
