John “the Lawyer” makes a third appearance on the podcast to talk about why he’s dipping a few toes back into lawyering. We talk about Stud, the New England poker scene, why the games are getting less good, why prosecutors are the real heroes, where you can find great pop culture coverage of the American legal system, and more.
John previously appeared on Episode 64 and Episode 132. He’s also recommended a lot of great guests to use over the years, including Dick Carson.

Thumbs down to Nassim Taleb: his ideas shouldn’t be really ground breaking for a thoughtful poker player, and he tacks a world class level of self regard to them that I find very offputting.
I second the Nick Schulman suggestion. He has previously done interesting podcasts interviews where he is candid about topics that are not often discussed openly in the poker community (one example is mental health). Seems like a very articulate and introspective person.
