Really you should probably tune in every week … but especially this week, as yours truly takes his talking head to a new level — joining the dudes from Wicked Chops, the PPA\’s John Pappas, and Annie Duke. (I\’m pretty sure I\’m the Skype video-chat guy with Annie in studio.)

HR 2267 will be the topic du jour … looking forward to it for sure! Say what you will about Annie Duke (I generally do, both good or bad), but she\’s one of the few big-wig pros with whom I can engage in an intelligent conversation about hefty and heady matters. The others tend to either be so caught up in their own world it\’s at best a 1.25-way convo, or they say little more than what their keepers (or kept) are putting out in press releases. You don\’t have time for that!
More info about today\’s show here … which is also where you can pass on the questions you\’d like Annie or the WCPs to theoretically address. (I\’m telling you now, it\’s hit or miss with me today, as I likely won\’t be listening so much as I\’ll be tending to my hair in the little Skype video chat square.)
Also making her debut on the show will be Jess Welman, my very favorite Poker Beat cohort who happens to be a 20something red-headed female.
Uh, hairy times … not just because Wicked Chops is making a big leap in confronting their their long-held follicular prejudices — I guess we all were a little inspired by Chesea Clinton\’s wedding — but also because there\’s a lot to discuss about poker, politics, online gambling, and a shifting mutibillion-dollar industry … all the stuff that matters occasionally at the very bottom of a mainstream news budget.
Should lead to some top-quality discourse and debate. Or if we\’re lucky, one of us will start throwing chairs.
