Welcome everybody to debt poker podcast episode 130.

My name is Hay Schwartz and I am joined by producer extraordinaire. Rosopi Coltrane.

Hey, how are you? Mr. Terrence Chan.

Welcome, welcome. In honor of the passing of Her Majesty, we are observing a day of folding

pocket queens pre-flop, right?

MJ would be very good at that. I've seen him do it several times. All our flags are at half masks as we are Canadians. We, yeah, it's a sort of a somber day. Another Canadian who lives

in the U.S. is Daniel on the ground or Daniel. Welcome to the podcast once again, sir. Thanks for having me, gentlemen. It's been a while since we've all gotten together. I feel like August for the first time for me was a real genuine break from poker. I have not played a single hand since the World Series, which was grueling, but I'm starting to get the itch up on my screen now. I'm looking at a little bit of the Triton poker stuff going on,

and I'm hearing up for Poker Master, super high roller bowl. And we've also got the WSOP.com series coming, which unfortunately I'm not going to get to play very many of, because I'm also filming high stakes poker as well. So poker's going to start up. I have done absolutely zero study. My study has been on whether or not Yager Furkis or

Isaac Howard is the pick at number 27 in my, you know, NHL fantasy draft. I've spent a ton of hours

as I typically do in August and I'm super excited for that. But yeah, eventually I got to get back

to the poker tables and it seems like it's coming soon.

I did see some guy asked you. Sorry, I want to segue with that because not the hockey stuff, but the poker stuff. I saw somebody ask you on Twitter whether you were playing Triton and you're like, no, Triton's not in Las Vegas. And it got me to thinking, you used to be a guy who traveled for poker a lot. and, you know, other than Rosbadov chasing the player of the year, I don't remember the last time you went on like a multiple,

you had a year where you went on multiple poker trips. Like you used to when you had your

Stars deal, obviously, like they had you all over Europe and Asia and all that stuff. But

you basically don't leave Las Vegas now, it seems.

You're absolutely right. Now, when I was with stars before, and this is part of the reason, you know, part of the reason why we ended up set up splitting ways is because I was getting married and I didn't want to travel anymore and all that kind of stuff. And I used to, because I used to be, it was contractual. I would be at the PCA every year in January, and I would be at Monte Carlo and typically Barcelona.

So those are three trips. I would be at the PCA every year in January, and I would be at Monte Carlo and typically Barcelona.

So those are three trips that I would be leaving, you know, home. These days, I mean, and I really do love the Triton series, and I really wish, and I understand why it can't be done here because a lot of the predominant figures on the Triton can't even come to Las Vegas and play poker, which is ridiculous, but it's true. So I, and plus, there's

plenty of events here where I don't feel the need to travel. Having said that, there's nothing on the scale of Triton. Triton has a major advantage over, like, for example, the Poker Go events because the Poker Go events, again, we lose the Asian contingent who can't come. We also lose the Canadian contingent.

Don't come because of, you know, tax issues. So, you know, the Greenwoods and the whatever else there are, the Devoris is and, you know, the, the, Christa Foxen maybe, yeah. Well, yeah, she's going to, she's working on that. There's another guy. That's why I don't play. But anyway, so that, but then again, you know, everywhere you go in different pockets the world, you have regular players. Like, we have regulars that are not professional that, you know, we'll play in poker go, but not go over there. But there's a whole bunch of, like, random guys over there that, you know, I've never even played with. But I do enjoy the Triton series.

I think most people who watch it think it is like the premier stream live stuff. And they do a great job with it. And then, you know, again, I have FOMO. Every time I watch it, I feel so stupid. I'm like, why am I not there? And I've never been to one. Shot clock's every handheld a lot too. I mean, that's, it's like fast-pitch viewing. We do that at a program for studio, too.

Same exactly.
