PokerRoad.com



PokerRoad is a site that has a number of great radio shows that come as podcasts, video content, player blogs, a forum and its own poker league.

The podcast that I tend to listen to is the POKERROADRADIO show that has a revolving number of guest host as well as a number of regulars.  Currently BJ Nemeth and Court Harrington are the regulars with guests like Jimmy Fricke joining in.  They follow all the large live poker events and interview all the top players about all topics poker related.  This podcast is available on itunes or can be listened to on their webpage.  Unfortunately there has been no show posted since May 2nd, so I hope that Black Friday hasn't hurt them too bad, and that the show will go on...

There are 6 other shows that are hosted by PokerRoad, including Cash Plays which was last published on June 6th.

I've poked around the site from time to time and there are some interesting finds, including some past content by Phil Ivey who is good friends with one of the site's owner's Barry Greenstein (who has a couple podcasts of his own).

Joe Seebok is Barry Greenstein's son and is also a particle owner of the site.  Despite harsh criticism from some in the poker world he joined the team of Ultimate Bet as it tried to re-establish it's credibility following a major cheating scandal back in 2008.  If you'd like to read his take on Black Friday, he has blogged about it here -  'Black Friday' Fallout/My Final UB Statement.

An interesting spin off of previous PokerRoadRadio shows is "ShirtRoad" which is hosted here ShirtRoad.  This goes back to when Ali Nejad was host and teamed up with Gavin Smith to drive Seebok nuts by continuing to promote this fake site, that ended up becoming an actual site.  You can get all sorts of cool gear there, a lot of which are a result of the on-going jokes within the various podcasts.

Poker Road Dumpster Fire

If you happen to be on the computer and want to listen to some good poker content as you pay your bills, or post on our blog, I do recommend PokerRoad Radio.

The year we drove to Vegas, we listened to pokerroad podcasts all the way down. That's a significant number of podcasts saturated into the mind.

I guess the proof is in the pudding. It didn't seem to help some of the guy's results, but it sure was entertaining!
