Joey was briefly on the show about 2 years ago, but I got him when he was at a loud cardroom and really distracted, so we didn't get much out of the segment.
This week, we will have the first real segment with Chicago Joey as guest, just talking about things in general.
Love him or hate him, Joey has become one of the most influential people in poker in the late 2010s. Even Andrew Yang has agreed to come on his show at some point. His wide reach and general respect in the poker world allowed him to really blow up the Mike Postle situation, which quickly went from low-energy Twitter theorizing to a full blown, high-profile scandal.
I respected the hard work he put in regarding the Postle scandal. Sure, it got him more notoriety and views, but he could have achieved the same with about 10% of the effort. He spent an insane number of hours reviewing hands on his own, and then spent 6 hours per night presenting them to the public. By the time he was done, everyone was sure that Postle was cheating.
I also respected his exposure of the abusive "WSOP hallway cell phone case guys", who spent years hassling players and sexually harassing women. While I had complained about them in a prior year and got a temporary fix to the situation, Joey's huge expose on the matter really changed the rules the WSOP placed upon these guys.
Anyway, if you have any questions for Joey, post them in this thread, and I may ask them.
