Episode 197 – 05/11/2020 – Matthew Dicks

James and Joe are back on Twitch and YouTube with more #EPTRetro streams, covering Season 7 of the European Poker Tour. They discuss some of the 10 year-old tournaments they've been revisiting, and look ahead to the first ever #EPTOnline series – which is also going to be streamed. This week's guest is author and multi-award winning storyteller Matthew Dicks, who was commissioned by the PokerStars Blog to write an article about how to tell a GOOD bad beat story (https://www.pokerstarsblog.com/en/news/how-to-tell-a-good-bad-beat-story-by-a-master-story-teller/67209/). Joe is badly in need of help on this topic, so has plenty of questions for Matthew, who's no slouch when it comes to Hold'em, having paid for his honeymoon with poker winnings! Finally, prepare to learn about Greek and Roman Mythology, as podcast listener Tom Quinlan competes for a #SundayMillion ticket and a T-shirt in 'Superfan vs Stapes'.

Om Podcasten

Every week, the hosts of PokerStars TV (James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton) bring you a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like being two regular folks on the international poker circuit. Told from the perspective of a cranky British dad (Hartigan) and an undateable American bachelor (Stapes), Poker in the Ears is a mostly uncensored take on the world of professional poker. The hosts also regularly call in favours, in the form of guest spots from their big-shot celebrity poker-playing friends. And they routinely hold on-air competitions, providing chances for listeners to join them on tour.
