Thank you so much for drinking those beers on this podcast. two of my absolute favorites. also fantastic podcast, love the storytelling.

[@CrushEatRepeat]

Thank you 2 for caring enough about the old times of poker to have amazing people like Lee Jones on your pod! I absolutely love hearing these stories and passing down these stories of up and coming poker tales to us next generation who truly cares about it! You guys have one of my favorite poker podcasts because of how unique but just simple it is, like sitting down and talking with an old friend.

[@CrushEatRepeat]

One guy who I think would have some amazing stories from back in the day, would be Cowboy Wolford. He used to play back in the 50s and 60s in Texas playing the old home games where Doyle played too. He has a book out that is the best thing I've ever read about poker history.

[@tedjam]

best poker pod. this is like discovering rogan b4 he went mainstream

[@Table1Vegas]

They need us ring-side at all the FTs 🥳

[@stevek5064]

I 100% agree, best poker pod out atm. Could you guys please ask each guest more Ivey stories.

[@tommyfu9271]

People who werent around back then have no idea the party they missed with online poker. Amazing times.

Was a great time to be in poker that's for sure

[@robertwarneck6464]

Awesome interview as always. I was not aware that Lee Jones sniffles so much.

[@Table1Vegas]

🤧 From all those years of sniffing out +EV Spots

[@murstyle]

OMG He is the real Mike McDermott from rounders. His Jonny Moss Story is basicly the Jonny Chan Story from Rounders.

[@Table1Vegas]

You put a F*cking move on Moss. Son of a bitch.

[@ryandrest2056]

They play Stud at Lucky Chances , just south of San Francisco.

[@Table1Vegas]

Hey Justin Young - Where'd you get that shirt - I want to copy/paste! Thanks for all ya'll are doing - don't stop!

[@VanPeeples-sh5wp]

I do respect isai and his work but people forget it was all for Business PokerStars not for poker. He broke many laws with online laws and yes does not belong in HOF for just being a business operator WTF Muppets!!

[@tommyfu9271]

Who cares if he broke some bullshit laws. Nobody said they were a charity but they treated players great.
