I happened to catch him on the speed championship last night on CNBC, the other Irish guy to his left in the heat admitted that he was such a noob that he was still mixing up the hand rankings up to 2 weeks previously!

very good interview, Ollie. I'm curious about this quote:

"I've played sports at a high level in Ireland before and had been involved in sporting events on television before"

Well, you gonna tell us?

Sorry Lenny, I use to play co football & hurling and have a couple of Ulster medals, so thats what I meant there.

Was hoping nobody would find this interview, you cant do anything around here.

Ryan Turbidy is planning to do a discussion on his radio show on Thursday about Internet poker, dont have the full details yet, but will let you guys know more before hand. I might to be on the guest lists....? Not a defo yet.

Lenny. Im down in Limerick working but..... RTE put the show up on their site for a week after so you can listen when you get home and I'll record it it form that for posterity (*read - take the p1ss*)

Ollieboy

thanks Paul, I was really hoping nobody would find it...lol

Just a heads up, Tom and I will be on the Ryan Tubridy Show tomorrow morning to discuss online poker. I’m there to give my experience of online poker, so I’ll try to be positive about you guys. It should be on after 9, but I’m not 100% sure about that.

Thanks for the link. Did anyone catch the comment Ryan read out towards the end of the programme which essentially wound up as the last word on the matter. It was a comment stating that the online poker sites fix hands to increase the rake. Anyone not in the know would have taken this statement as fact.

jem

I know it was desperate one of the two lads should contact ryan to correct this asap.
the fact that they were on would give them more authority

mewso

I popped off an email to them and made my identity known as one of Tom's lackeys.

Well done lads - great interview. You did some good work in promoting the game and addressing the fears of Joe public while coming across very relaxed in a tight time frame and not getting too bogged down in details that people just wouldn't get. WP
