In Bed With Kenna Cowboy James

synergy — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 05:53:54 +0000

We had the great pleasure of interviewing the following day of Marsha’s interview at the Crown Towers in Melbourne, Kenna James, very affable and with a great sense of humour to boot. If you last until the end you will hear us singing Abba’s “The Winner Takes It All”.

Talented columnist, poker player, commentator, tournament organiser and over 40 final tables under his belt and millions in prize money, Kenna is rightfully regarded as one of the top poker players in the world today.

Marsha Waggoner

synergy — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 10:06:37 +0000

I first met Marsha at the WSOP and must admit that until I met her I didn’t realise she was an expatriate Aussie, having moved to the US more than 30 years ago! To her credit she has retained a bit of her accent, us Aussies tend to lose them real fast!

We did this interview in her room at the Crown Towers and also had the pleasure of meeting husband Kenna James who will be interviewed in an upcoming podcast!

Billy The Croc Interview

synergy — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 02:59:11 +0000

Among the thronging crowd at the 2007 Aussie Millions a reptillian apparel adorned entity popped his head up and said a loud “G’day”…it was Billy. So, we dragged him off to a quietish (well, relevant to the surroundings anyway) corner for a quick interview!

Mark Pokerbok Vos

synergy — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 06:43:41 +0000

Pokerbok echoes Mark’s South African origins and will be a familar name to many, if not all, online players. His fearlessness is legendary and few achieve such a rapid rise to stardom. With an 8th place finish in the 2006 Aussie Millions Main Event followed quickly by some major cashes and capped by a WSOP bracelet in the $2000 NLHE event at the 2006 WSOP, Mark proved to one and all he was no flash in the pan.

Aussie Millions 2007 Main Event Day 1

synergy — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 00:32:59 +0000

I arrived at the Crown at 1am bleary eyed and for some reason they confused my surname with Elizabeth and I am convinced they were going to put me in Shannon’s room! I woke my wife Ellen up the next morning with a declaration of “Hey! Where’s Shannon Elizabeth and how in hell did you get here!”

I love living life on the edge.

The start of the main event was electric with huge crowds coming to see the celebrity players they had only ever seen on tv. We had dinner with Grinder’s big brother Robert and his lovely partner Elise and had some great laughs. Michael was unable to make the trip to OZ, too difficult with a young family. Look out for my interview with Robert!

Jack Effel Interview

synergy — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 05:46:39 +0000

Jack was recently appointed WSOP tourney director for an interesting chat on the future direction of the WSOP in this exclusive interview! Jack has, among other things, been poker room manager at the Horseshoe in Tunica and is now director of the World Series Circuit events and of Harrah’s poker operations as well as his new role. His enthusiasm for poker and it’s future are refreshingly insightful, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Max caught up with Bernard Lee, noted columnist and 13th place finisher at the 2005 WSOP Main Event for a very interesting interview! Aside from poker, Bernard also spent 3 years at Julliard tickling the ivories! I am sure 2007 will propel this great and dedicated player into the poker stratosphere.

Barbara has become a good friend of ours since meeting a couple of years ago. With a list of poker achievements as long as your arm she is very modest about them. One thing is in no doubt, she strikes fear into many pro’s hearts! We have her 3/4’s convinced to visit us Down Under and I can’t wait!

Vegas Revisited

synergy — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 14:53:19 +0000

Assorted audio bytes reminiscing on the WSOP trip to Vegas. You can do a lot in Vegas in 4 weeks, get run down By Doyle Brunson the F1 Gopher World Champion wannabe, listen to multiple bad beats in the bathroom and not get a decent cup of tea for a whole month. I got so upset over the tea I swore in this podcast earning myself an iTunes explicit tag for my efforts.

I mention Susie Isaacs’ 1001 Best Poker Strategies and Secrets in the podcast and it is available from Amazon for $10.36 and is a great read!

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

Waiter, This Bill Is Nonsense!

synergy — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 23:37:15 +0000

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.
