Call in number: (775) FRAUD-55 or (775) 372-8355. Make sure to show your caller ID, or the phone system will not let you through (you will probably get a busy signal)!

We have a freeroll tonight, plus a $10 contest.

This includes donations that you made to future freerolls/contests that never got used. Currently we have $59.

$10 Contest Details
At some point during the show, we will announce that we will take calls for contestants. The 5h and 6th callers to get through will be the night's contestants.

Tonight's game: What Does Ken Scalir Think?

Prize: $10

Please only attempt to win this prize if you actually want it. This prize will NOT be allowed to be "regifted" to someone else.

Also, please ONLY call in if you have heard Ken Scalir on previous broadcasts. If you don't know who he is or are unfamiliar with his personality, please do NOT play.

When Ken Scalir calls the show, we will immediately hold the game. We will take TWO callers, and I will ask five questions to Ken. Before he answers, each player will state what they think his answer will be. I will put Ken on hold during the contestants giving their answers, so Ken can't hear. Ken will then answer the question live, and the closer one (as determined by the hosts) will win that question. The contestant that wins at least 3 of the 5 questions will win the $10.

If we do not hear from Ken Scalir, the segment will be postponed to next week.


*** IMPORTANT ***

To qualify for the freeroll and/or contest, you need to have registered on PokerFraudAlert by May 21, 2012 at 5:30pm PDT.

If you are a lurker and still want to play, you must PM me or e-mail me beforehand and explain how long you've been listening/lurking, and tell me some of your favorite anecdotes from the forum (either here or DD) or the radio show. If you fail to do this before the tournament, or if you send me some generic bullshit like, "I think the show is funny. I like the show", you will NOT qualify for the freeroll, and your prize will be given to the next qualifying finisher.

I am doing this in order to prevent freeroll-hunting leeches from using our site for our freeroll money and then disappearing.



Agenda for tonight:

- Intro & freeroll discussion

- Pokerstars Buys Full Tilt -- Dan Druff's Analysis. This will be a long segment. Druff will explain the deal, will discuss how it affects players, will talk about the money distribution issues, will analyze the legal issues surrounding it, and will give his opinion on the tax implications for US players. Druff will also take questons and phone calls about the matter. The other co-hosts will also take part in this discussion. This is HUGE news in poker, and I would actually be having a separate show about it if this didn't happen to occur on the same day as radio.

- Government about to liquidate Absolute Poker and give proceeds to players?

- $10 "What Does Ken Scalir Think?" contest

- Another update regarding TheTemplar scamming situation, and our plan to refund victims

- Bellagio "pepper spray" thief from May pleads guilty

- Yet another reported nightmare from the Rio cash section, involving a deck with duplicate cards

- Ask Vwls segment

- Whatever else we feel like discussing

- Please suggest other good topics if you don't see them here!

- We take your phone calls at (775) FRAUD-55 or (775) 372-8355

[Crowe Diddly]

I got third 2 weeks ago for $15. Put that toward 1st place, or whatever. Distribute as necessary.

[Steve-O]

Did you ever use that $10 I sent you two weeks ago?

[Jasep]

I also cashed for $9.00 a few weeks ago, not sure if the money was every redistributed... but you can go ahead and do that if it hasn't been done yet

[pikachar]

Damn someone is going to take down a $2K freeroll one of these days with all these "send it back to the prize pool" replies

[lewfather]

Snap crackle pop yall

[JimmyG_415]

Druff, I cashed out minus $ 10, 3 weeks ago, please add that $ 10 to the prize pool.

[Bootsy Collins]

I got 3rd last week and I am not sure what the amount was but please add it to the Templar scam relief fund.

[Dan Druff]

At the moment, I am counting $44 of unused freeroll rollovers:

Crowe $15
Steve-O $10
Jasep $9
JimmyG $10

It's possible I have already used some of these, but I will just assume I didn't and that these have not been re-awarded.

Unless more gets added, it will be a $44 freeroll with the following prizes:

1st: $27
2nd: $12
3rd: $5

[BUBBLES]

What happened to Slim T's $200?

I will throw in $5 if someone can trade Lock funds for Paypal.

What happened to Slim T's $200?

I will throw in $5 if someone can trade Lock funds for Paypal.

Slim T first said that he wanted it for the freeroll, but then said he wanted it to repay Templar victims.

I don't want to use it until I know which one, or at least until we determine the final Templar amount needed, and see how much is left for the freeroll.

[Rollo Tomasi]

use my $25 Templar scammament refund $ for a freeroll

[rickastley]

think i won some $ 3 weeks ago, chuck that in also

[Dan Druff]

use my $25 Templar scammament refund $ for a freeroll

Sorry, can't do that yet. I will be making a thread later tonight regarding the Templar refund process. Very generous of you to offer, though, and if you would like, you can do this in the future with the $25.

think i won some $ 3 weeks ago, chuck that in also

I see you won $5. I will now up the freeroll to $49.

Places will now be:

1st: $30
2nd: $14
3rd: $5

[Dan Druff]

Also be aware that I will NOT be on radio next week.

It will either go on without me, or we will simply skip a week. Stay tuned.

[hotshott74]
