Featuring between level commentary on hands played and interviews with World Series of Poker players--well-known and not--Phil Gordon's podcasts are entertaining and informative. It's way better than waiting till ESPN broadcasts portions in September.

Really, poker is the opium of the masses... who frickin' cares?

Very cool. Also, for poker fans, Paul Phillips livejournal (thanks to Wil Wheaton for that one.) On preview: Isn't religion the opium of the masses, R. Mutt.? Just how many opiates are there? You seem to be anointed enough to pass judgement, so please enlighten the rest of us...

Ooh, can I be next to piss on a thread that's clearly labeled as being about a subject that I have no interest in so I can prove how superior I am to those that do have said interest?

Thanks for this. I've been ignoring the whole podcast thing - it seemed about as interesting to me as poker seems to be to some mefites. BTW - I went from $100 to $1000 last night, in my local $2-5NL game. That would explain the attraction to poker, for me at least.

I was listening to this on the weekend. In the first one I listened to he was recording during the breaks between hands, there was a really funny segment that went something like: "I just need to double up once, and I'll be in a good position, but I'm not doing too well" [break] "Well, I just did great, I [numbers numbers hands numbers numbers players hands numbers] and the euphoria is just indescribable" [break] "Well, the euphoria was short lived..."
