Episode 171: HCL Week

Mike gears up for his trip to LA, previewing a Meetup Game at Hustler Casino on Sunday, March 2nd, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM, followed by streaming sessions next week (Monday and Thursday confirmed, Tuesday TBD). Fresh off an IV treatment that banished his pain, Mike’s feeling optimistic after clawing back $80K of a $98K Super Bowl week loss, sharing key hands and his strategy to keep the comeback rolling.

Beyond poker, Mike marvels at the Lakers’ defensive surge despite AD’s absence, with LeBron playing like he’s 25 again—hinting at a Clippers upset tonight. He also dives into the explosive Trump-Zelensky Oval Office clash, relaying insider Ukrainian perspectives from friend Eugene Katchalov, who slammed Zelensky’s antics while praising Trump’s push to end the war. Plus, callers spark debates on poker scandals (10-7 setup? Jack-4 cheating?), Keating’s epic 7-9 bluff, and Mike’s wild past—from Full Tilt millions to a near-fatal fentanyl scare.
