Khan, Negreanu and Gowen on radio this week
Sorry to brag, but the timing of my story on Poker Talk America couldn't have been better -- if you like to hear pros.
The show, which airs at 4 p.m. from West Palm Beach station WBZT-1230 AM, has three of the more compelling pros the next three days:
On Tuesday, Hevad Khan, who became renown for being so obnoxious during last year's World Series of Poker.
On Wednesday, Daniel Negreanu, one of my favorites, talks with pro Lisa Adams.
And Thursday, Clonie Gowen, who has been a teacher at the World Poker Tour Boot Camp, is the guest.
Poker Talk America host Frank Greentree always cautions the guests are tentative -- hey, if you had a hot run at the tables would you go do some radio show? -- but they're pretty good sports about showing up, he says.
NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
