just listened to it,  i have no idea about australian pub poker but its a good listen, you guys did a great job

just miss some kinda strategytalk, thats what i like most when listening to pokerpodcasts

keep it up

 

btw it downloads a lil slow

thanks for the feedback. it was our first ever podcast, so we were easing into it a bit. (hence why you hear me go um and ah a lot)

we have lots more segments planned for future episodes, including some strategy. but it definitely won't be like the TPE strategy podcast because the TPE guys actually know what they are talking about!

but we will have some strategy, mostly simple stuff, as 99% of pub poker players are loose passive droolers. so i think i am knowledgable enough to give some basic strategy but not a huge amount more. 

with regards to download speeds, its probably because it is hosted here in australia at the moment. we are currently working on hosting it at podbean which should be better. therail.podbean.com

thanks a lot for the feedback guys, i really appreciate it. 

Thanks a lot for the feedback. 

Episode 2 is now live!

Even if you dont ever want to listen to it, if would be awesome if everyone subscribed in iTunes

We have been getting a pretty decent response to this, so hopefully we can keep going

Thanks!

The first one wasn't scripted enough, the second one is a bit too scripted but has a lot more content, so the third one should be awesome. 

Our goal is to sound 1/10th as good as the TPE podcast 😀

haha thanks pete! It has been recorded, and we are now in the process of editing. 

Episode 4 is out, part of a 3 part series where we are recording literally beside the feature table at crown casino.

Dont forget to subscribe in itunes – even if you never listen to it, it would help us out a lot if you subscribe.

Great to hear Swanky's appraisal of other pub leagues. Very nicely done! I don't know if it was at my end, but there appeared to be two glitches, one during the intro where KB's TPE advert seemed to be caught in a loop and another around 49min when Scotty murrin was talking. 

I've never played in the Aussie pub league, largely due to my pre-conceived assumption that it didn't appear to be good value for money.  Your podcast, however, has definitely piqued my interest.

Well done Benny, keep it up… also it seems like your game has significantly improved over the past 6 months.

Hey mike, thanks a lot for listening

yeah there are two glitches which for some reason occured when i was uploading the podcast to the hosting site. not sure why they are there. 

in terms of the pub leagues, they are certainly not value for money – you are spending 20-30 to win a $50 meal voucher most times. It is a good fun night out with the mates, but if you wanted a good poker experience i would definitely not go. BUT if you can qualify for their main tourneys, thats where the money is to be had – i.e i have qualified for their big tourney in feb called the “main event” which is a $1200 buyin qualification only tournament, 500k gtd prize pool. and their previous big tourney was a $500 buyin 150k gtd which is what i final tabled recently. so in terms of field softness, you have no idea. you guys would just laugh. 

thanks for listening though mike, maybe shoot me a pm one day if you wanna come out and play some pub donk poker and we can have a beer

Episode 9 is out!

On this episode of The Rail, we chat to pub poker guns Pat Dillon and Chris Whitmee about their recent success at the JHDS and APPT, Scotty Murrin returns for some discussion on the WSOP November Nine, and we introduce two new segments, “Strategy 101 with Benny” and “My Local”. All this and much, much more, on Australia’s only pub poker podcast, The Rail
