The Lock-In ~ Dublin Poker Festival: Irish Poker Lionesses, WSOP Prep & The Mark-Up Police

This week, we are locked in and cranking out a show in the tiny gap between live events.

Dara and David are back from the Dublin Poker Festival which came right on the heels of the Malta Poker Festival which came right on the heels of umpteen other live festivals. To say the lads are exhausted after months of live poker would be an understatement but that doesn’t mean any relent from their content output.

The pair chat about the unique deep-stack and extra levels in the structure of the European Deepstacks. They tip their caps to Willow Connolly, Triona Sheeran and Annette O’Carroll who enjoyed big results at the festival.

The conversation then switches to the question of how to attract more women to the game and why The Malta Poker Festival succeeds in getting a big female turnout.

With the WSOP on the horizon, Dara talks about his preparation and the lads discuss the thorny subject of mark-ups, before the episode wraps up with the announcement of the Unibet Open’s return to Malta in September.
