The Norm MacDonald of Poker
LAS VEGAS–Norm MacDonald popped into the media center last night (at 4:20 am, almost on the dot) when I was all by my lonesome, and we talked a little single-table strategy. Though he’s no pro, the former SNL Newscaster apparently is no slouch at the tables — at least not at those in the sit-n-go section.
Click below to hear what he’s got to say about shifting gears and chopping pots.

Also interesting that he gives credit to my new corporate gigsters at PartyPoker … and yet today there was a special mingling at the PokerStars suite. Either he’s not sure who’s buying him into all these tournaments or it doesn’t really matter because he’s better than James Woods.

Can you people hear this? At first it was too loud … now it seems too quiet. I’m still figuring out this audio/podcast thing … so let me know what works and doesn’t work for you.
