Gambling with an Edge --- July 12

#1

This
Thursday our guest will be Ed Miller, author of Playing the Player, a
poker book dedicated to identifying different styles of players who play low
limit No Limit Hold'Em --- and how to exploit these players' tendencies.

  My normal
co-host, Michael Shackleford, will be climbing Mt. Whitney this Thursday and
refuses to carry a satellite phone so he can co-host the show remotely. My guest
co-host will be gaming expert Arnold Snyder. As far as substitutes go, this is pretty
cool. Snyder's books deal with tournament players and Miller's book deal with
live-game players. I'm going to be asking questions designed to illustrate the
differences in reading players in these two different poker formats.

  There is a
chance that Ed Miller won't show up --- which will actually be good news for
him. He entered the $10,000 main event at the World Series of Poker and
Thursday will be Day 3. Prior to entering he figured he had a 20% chance to
last that long. If he does miss the broadcast (as a friend I'm rooting for him
--- it'll be no problem re-scheduling him for a later date) I have plenty of
questions to ask Arnold Snyder. He has been a guest recently and we didn't get
through all of the questions we had already prepared for him. Either way, it
should be an interesting show.

  GWAE may be
heard live Thursday evenings from 7-8 in Las Vegas on 1230 AM or from www.klav1230am.comfrom
anywhere. The shows are archived the next day on bobdancer.com. You may
subscribe for free from iTunes to get the podcasts delivered automatically to
your device. Bob

It's a win-win situation. We either get Ed or Arnold. I've read a couple of Ed's poker books and was highly impressed. The guy is just a great teacher. Were I back in Las Vegas I would mostly be sitting in the small blind no-limit games (described as $1-$2 and $2-$5 blinds). And you can bet Ed's books would be on my nightstand.

I pulled up Ed's wiki and discovered he is part owner and a poker teacher online at Stoxpoker. I now have an online site to recommend to kid's today who ask me how they can learn no-limit holdem.

Thanks for the kind words!

Stoxpoker is defunct, and nearly all my videos there disappeared with it.
I'm now with Cardrunners, but I've only made a single video for them so
far, though I plan to make more.

Chance of being on GWAE this week has dropped a bit as I had a solid day 1
and am up to 84k chips from the starting 30k.

Bob-
I love the show and have listened to every second of it since the debut.
But you are risking having to re-name it "Poker With an Edge". Too much live poker and not enough on other games and facets of the gambling world. Just my opinion.

  Thanks for your input. We've actually had more blackjack guests than poker guests. Although I understand that each listener has his/her own preferences as to which guests are best, but I think overall we've had a pretty impressive guest list. In some ways it's easier to have poker guests because there are 20 times as many poker authors out there than blackjack authors. We haven't had many video poker guests because there are both so few authors out there and Shack and I basically talk a little about that game every week. I wouldn't mind having Mickey Crimm back on. In the pipeline for future guests we have table-game tournament specialists and a famous backgammon pro --- in addition to more blackjack and poker guests. We are constantly looking for informative, interesting guests. If you have any specific suggestions as to who to have on --- and a way to contact them --- feel free to mention them. BTW, I'm tickled pink that Ed Miller might miss being a guest on the show this week because he's still in the Main Event. Go Ed! Bob

Okay, I'll recommend Cardrunners. Good luck in the Main Event, Ed. I think a lot of us are following it online.
