On this week's edition of my Lumiere Place Final Table radio show, Paul Harris and I talked with another Team PokerStars Pro, Chris Moneymaker, whose name became synonymous with the poker boom when he won the 2003 World Series Of Poker Main Event.



Chris filled us in on what he's been up to, why he doesn't play as many tournaments as he used to, and what his plans are for the 2009 WSOP. We also asked him about changes he's seen in the game as more young, aggressive online players come along — and the best strategy for playing against them.



Also on the show:


  • Paul and I discussed how Tom Dwan and Peter Eastgate fit in with the veterans on Sunday's season premiere of "High Stakes Poker";
  • The Poker Coach, Joe McGowan, answered an e-mail from a listener whose first cash game experience didn't go very well, provided tips on how to choose the live game that's right for you, and explained why too many players lose money in lower-limit games because of the rake the house takes;
  • Kat Kowal provided details on the Dream Team Poker event coming up at the end of March at Caesar's Palace (which Paul, Joe, and I will play in);
  • The Poker Lawyer, Josh Schindler, revealed what the law says about home poker games in Missouri and Illinois.

We do The Lumiere Place Final Table live from Lumiere's poker room every Tuesday at 6pm on KFNS/St. Louis (and KFNS.com everywhere).

[Note: if it sounds like this show was done over the telephone, that's because it was — we had technical difficulties with the broadcast feed, but felt the content was strong enough to continue anyway. We're confident that the problem won't recur in future weeks, and appreciate your understanding.]

Dennis' outstanding performance in the 2008 World Series of Poker -- third place in the main event -- has earned him a lot of fans, a lot of cash, and a lot of media attention. More importantly, it allowed him to bring awareness to several charities that are close to his heart. Dennis began playing poker in 2004, and he plays exclusively online at PokerStars.
