The latest poker to be found on screen is in a brand-new series devised and hosted by Robbie Strazynski, founder of Cardplayer Lifestyle, a website dedicated to the game we all know and love. 

We’ll start by crediting Strazynski for managing to get the personalities around the same virtual table, which can’t have been easy, no matter how captive a cast poker is during a global pandemic where players are no longer hopping on a plane every fortnight. These days, players are hopping online instead, and the discussion in Episode 4 is between Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker ambassador, Phil Galfond, Run It Once supremo, Rob Yong, unofficial saviour of partypoker and Alex Scott, who has 15 years’ experience in the poker industry.  

This episode touches on some very interesting topics, including whether online poker is at a saturation point and while it’s interesting hearing each personality’s point of view, what makes it even better is seeing what the others think of each speaker while they’re talking.  

It’s exactly why round table discussions are so important – an open forum for poker topics is virtually neverending, the game changes so quickly and this niche of the show is what makes it such compelling viewing. That two of the game’s greats are in the fourth episode is a bonus – Daniel Negreanu and Phil Galfond don’t give out too many interviews, so to have them on same bill is quite impressive – and the subjects naturally lend themselves to friendly debate.
