This week’s Podcast features interviews with Kill Phil author and professional poker player Blair Rodman, and National Council on Problem Gambling Executive Director Keith Whyte.
Blair Rodman has been involved in the game of poker for decades. Going back to the days when Texas Holdem wasn’t near as popular as Omaha and Stud games, Blair recounts moments throughout his career when he played against some of the greatest players to ever grace the felt.
We’ll also talk to Blair about his book: Kill Phil: The Fast Track to Success in No Limit Hold 'em Poker Tournaments, as well as discuss strategy on a new game that is catching fire online, Elimination BlackJack. Our listeners won’t want to miss this interview with a valued member of the poker community and all-around nice guy.
Our second guest this week is Keith Whyte, Executive Director of the National Council on Problem Gambling (www.ncpgambling.org). As the Christmas holidays approach, many men and women become more vulnerable to problems associated with compulsive gambling. Keith discusses the issue with our team, and provides warning signs of problem gambling that players should be aware of. You can contact the NCPG at any time by dialing toll-free 1-800-522-4700.
