Max interviewed Nolan at the 2006 WSOP and talks about some of the logistics involved in the biggest poker event ever and about his book One Of A Kind, considered by many including myself, to be the definitive work on the life of Stuey Unger. I had the pleasure of meeting Nolan and witnessing first hand the amount of work involved in just the media management at the WSOP. You can get a copy of One Of A Kind here for only $16.50 via Amazon

If only it were a restaurant bill. Unfortunately the move to introduce the Internet Gambling Bill has gathered some momentum and so affects every online poker player and many have yet to realise it.
While still at the WSOP I talked to several pro players who refused to comment on the issue. Why? They are scared and off the record I was told by several that they had emptied online poker accounts. I had not anticipated this level of fear and ignorance and this was the most difficult podcast I have produced to date.
I managed to get interviews with Annie Duke, Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer and Poker Players Alliance President Michael Bolcerek to try and put some perspective on the issue. I admire their courage enormously.
In Australia we already have had a Bill in place for years now, making online play illegal and US legislators have looked closely at it. We got suckered mightily and the Aussie public is still almost completely ignorant of it’s existence.
This is my small attempt at reducing apathy and public ignorance on an important issue. Please let others know about this podcast.
