This Week on DAT
Poker Podcast: After a ton of requests… It’s the first
iteration of the DAT Poker Podcast Alan Boston March Madness
preview show! On Adam and Terrence’s former show, Alan came on once
a year and gave out a bet for a game that has NEVER LOST, for 10 or
11 straight years. Alan is a professional college basketball
handicapper and poker player, formerly a Full Tilt pro. He’s a wild
interview too and not for the faint of heart. Love him or hate him,
he has provided winners for our listeners for a decade.
To begin: We are without Daniel Negreanu for the first time
because he is playing the high stakes PokerGo cash game. Adam and
Terrence break down one interesting hand that has been circulating
on social media from the game and we very much look forwards to
getting some hand reviews from Daniel himself when he returns next
week! The guys also talk about some more of the GPI Poker Award
nominations and some controversy from last episode before we get to
the interview.
(24:30) Alan joins us from his home near Foxwoods and we begin
talking about how his year has been and the poker he has been
playing. He tells us about his beginnings as a gambler, moving to
Vegas and favourite moments from past NCAA tournaments. He also
talks about his gripes with the selection process for March Madness
and who he thinks got shafted, as well as his general opinion of
todays game. We also get some stories from poker’s glory days,
playing on an episode of Poker After Dark. (1:33:15) Alan
eventually gets talking about different first round games and
matchups that he likes. The show is capped off with the information
everyone wants, Alan’s lock of the year!
