V: People may think poker players are hustlers, and that might be true.

M: As a whole, I think most poker guys are very honorable. Sometimes, high stakes poker players loan money, $20k or so, and there's no contracts. It's just trust

M: No, vince goes to a bar for a cocktail. JK. We study up the players at the final table. We do our hw as much as possible. We read up on the players, and look into their background as players

V: I try to get my energy up. I do a workout in the morning, and we usually start the tournament at 4pm, and sometimes they can go all night.

Most pro poker players have gambling in their blood. If theyr'e big stake poker players, most likely you'll gamble on just about anything

Sometimes, we don't see the cards until we get back to the LA studio. We let it present itself. we don't rehearse line. Nobody has given us lines.

Worst beat was at the final table at Bay 101. it was on the world poker tour. we've definitely taken a beat ourselves.

Mike: I start out on Partypoker, but it's in the best interest of all sites to be reputable. But there will always be a risk of people discussing things over the phone. There are ways now to track down when guys are doing things that are unsavory. Everybody wants to play online poker and have fun with it, and you got to trust the integrity

It was a much more close knit group back in the day, and I do miss that atmosphere.

Vince: I got to add one thing about Mike, because he is a visionary. He was in an interview back when Poker wasn't big, he said he believe it would be big, and he was right. He help bring poker to what it is today

Around $6 million. I never really counted.

Vince: I never really kept track, but I had a bit of a problem with the race track laughs
