sorry, I think I missed the episodes back in the day when Limon was on but why is he so well-liked?
I think Bart mentioned that he disagrees with him on some fundamental things? Isn't Limon the one who puts up an act to get paid off but Bart arguing it only increases variance and puts him in more tough spots because he has to add a "playing against a perceived idiot" range and thus making structured hand analysis more complicated than it needs to be? Also, LA seems to have alot of games but even in AC the playerpool is somewhat smaller so not a big fan of the whole "putting on an act" thing.
I do like discussions on being a live pro and mainly sobering discussions about it as it makes my current job look more attractive and the BS I have to put up with everyday.

I don't think you understood what limon was saying in those episodes. it has nothing to do with "putting on an act" so as to skew your opponent's idea about your holdings and everything to do with picking villains who are likely to yield information verbally to you or be coerced into a decision that is favorable for hero given the right stimulus.

Hey Bart,
Have you had any interviews lately on the premium podcast?
I've been listening to the podcasts on and off for over a year now and am a huge fan (well not enough to subscribe but i hope to soon
). Any chance of getting Shane Rose on again? I just love all the interviews you've done. Love citizen james. Loved the old Paul Darden interview on cash plays. If it was up to me I'd have you interviewing ALL the commerce regs on a weekly basis, see where they're at with their NL game.

Ralph,
I did interview Limon again a few weeks ago and will be having John Little and probably Kasino Krime come on the show soon. Its pretty tough to get Commerce regs on the show to talk about their game and I havent seen Shane Rose in years.

Hi Bart
I finally got around to listening to your DPP show where you say you are going to be adding a PLO segment and asked for feedback. While I rarely play any Omaha (it's just not spread in my area), I enjoy the analysis. However, my personal preference would be to have each episode either hold'em or Omaha. Something like 3 hold'em shows and then a PLO show.
thanks for considering

there are too many NL Holdem players with no interest in PLO (for whatever reasons). PLO should be a separate segment than DPP in my opinion.
It seems that PLO is the game of the future - and always will be. Consider Bob Ciaffone wrote it was the up and coming game - in 1984!
Right now, I run into a PLO game so infrequently that tuning up with a crash course makes the most sense (for me) time-wise when I finally play in one.

Yeah, i think this too. The televised PLO games have been as boring as sin. That's not to say it isnt fun to play, it may be but isnt attracting the recreational player, and it isnt fun to learn either (its v v v complicated).
The only people who seem to play PLO are professional poker players. And the game looks from my pov to be so far from 'masterable' that I'm not even interested in learning the basic strategies when my time's more valuable elsewhere.

But that should make it more profitable
Kind of. But then, it comes back to what the OP was saying. There's few live PLO games about, and whether you call it variance or gamble, why play a game that's too big to analyse/master?
You might as well bet on the horses.
