Hero shoves, tank folds, monster coolers, tilting regs, and needling dealers
I surely cannot wait for this year to be over. But, at least I'm back into feeling like I'm gonna be grinding the Wynn 2/5 consistently. It's been a real slog these last few months. And poker has been draining blood from me like a vampire.

Insomniac overnight sessions with crotchety Bellagio regs
During a week where I couldn't sleep, I put some hours in back to back days in the wee hours of the morning at the Bellagio. These are the hand histories and asinine behavioral stories that were of course accompanied by the typical crappy reg company you can always count on.

Moodily trying to irritate 1/3 players whenever possible
Occasionally I like to drop in on 1/3 games for an hour or two as they make for lots of hilarious hand histories and/or child-like behavior. If you've ever played 1/3, then you should know it's like daycare. And if you've ever dealt it, then you should know it's like babysitting. For most of these times though, I just wanted to be as big a smartass as often as I could without crossing any lines since that defeats the whole purpose. Some hand history analysis as well.

Throwback tales of me being a huge prick
I talk shit about everybody on this podcast practically every show, but today we delve into some old anecdotes of when it was me who went out of his way to be a huge fucking asshole to people at the table--although in some cases it was certainly warranted. But either way, as a person who is 40 years old, here are some of the behavioral choices at the poker table I made when I was merely half that age. And some others whilst still in my 20s.

Honorary guest new age cash game poker pro John Arndt speaks on being newly arrived to the high stakes scene
In this new era of poker, there are a whole lot less cash game pros in their 20s grinding the high limit scene than there once was. Many of them have moved on, or, like me, have just grown older. But John Arndt is among the few younger pro players that are here now. As he and Dan go back and forth on varying war stories and poker ideas, John discusses how it all came to be for him, and advises other aspiring players on how to move up in stakes.

Dealer knocks out a player in 3rd place at by misreading his hand, what to do when your neighbor accidentally exposes his hand to you, and a massive leveling war
At a WSOPC tournament in Florida, a dealer misread the player's hands at showdown during a huge all-in, and that player, who also didn't know what he had, was incorrectly eliminated in 3rd place instead of doubling up. So how did this happen? But it reminded me of other situations when players do a poor job of protecting their hand. And lastly, a wild wonky hand history against a recent nemesis, followed by some revelations...
