Great new show with no echo! Another great episode of the Poker Donkeys Podcast! This time we did it on Skype and the echo was gone. So you could now hear our mindless conversation clearly...yea!  We talk about everything from sci-fi to tech and oh yeah poker. So check out the episode and let us know what you think by commenting on this post. Until next week keep going all in with the A-7 unsuited donkeys!

No new show tonight.

Sorry folks there won't be a new show this week. Slade and I are going to lock ourselves in a dark closet and shoot each other in the butt with steroids so we can bring you a bigger,stronger and faster show next week! We might even hit a couple homeruns! So don't worry we will be back next week probably Friday. Keep on subscribing and keep going all in the the 7-2 suited! Later DONKEYS!

Steve “gboro780″ Gross Wins CardPlayer Online Player of the Year

As 2009 came to a close, popular poker publication CardPlayer announced its Online Player of the Year (OPOY) award. The winner was New Jersey pro Steve "gboro780" Gross, who became the third honoree of the prestigious award, joining Alex "AJKHoosier1" Kamberis (2008) and Isaac "westmenloAA" Baron (2007).
Gross earned $1,216,413 playing online across the major sites in 2009 to accrue 10,188 points, the highest total since the CardPlayer OPOY rankings began in 2007. He started the year off strong, with a second-place finish in a $500 event on Full Tilt for $126,506 on January 18. In February, Gross won a $300 Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) event for $275,000.
Then in April, during the first-ever PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP), Gross found himself heads up in the $3,000 Mixed Hold’em event with Aussie superstar James "Andy McLeod" Obst. The confrontation was one of the most memorable of 2009, with McLeod coming out on top to claim the $184,000 first prize; Gross walked away with $128,000 for his runner-up finish.
Gross won 21 tournaments in 2009, but it was a fourth-place finish on Wednesday, December 30 that clinched the OPOY award. The result came in the $100 rebuy on Full Tilt, earning him more than $12,000 in his final cash of the year. Without any qualifying tournaments left on the schedule for the rest of the field to catch him, Gross wrapped up the title.

EPISODE58 - A New Show For A New Year!

I can't really explain this show. You're just going to have to listen. We did talk about poker but then we got into Slade's love life and....yuck. Lot's of special guests on this the first episode of Poker Donkeys the Podcast this year. Enjoy.  PS: I have no idea where the echo is coming from. If you have any suggestions or know of a better and free place to podcast let me  know:   pokerking72@msn.com. Thanks.

Phil Ivey is Getting Divorced!

According to TMZ.com Phil Ivey and his former wife Luciaetta have filed for and received a divorce.
The article says that "Ivey and Luciaetta filed the joint petition in a Nevada court on December 22", and that the divorce was finalized earlier today.
No word as to the reasons cited for the divorce or how any assets will be split.
2009 has definitely been one of the most interesting years of Phil Ivey's life. He went on an incredible run at the World Series of Poker, winning two bracelets and making the final table of the main event.
Ivey's final table appearance thrust the normally reclusive player into the spotlight, and now he finds himself there again just a few months later, thanks to this divorce announcement.
Luciaetta and Phil were high-school sweethearts and had been married for a number of years.

I think Phil Ivey is taking this "Tiger Woods" of poker title a little too far.
