    Enjoy Jake, Nate not so much
    Big fan of Jake and his poker knowledge. Nate groveling for backers, free places to stay and inviting himself to poker players houses is embarrassing. Also, Nate’s poker results do not match his bravado.

    Meh.
    It’s more entertainment value than anything. Don’t expect ground break analysis. Jake and Mitzy are great and add value. Nate, not so much….I’d lobby to remove him entirely. It’s a bit comical that the other hosts hardly ever agree with him on any of his views. 3/5.

    The best
    Nate and Jake started something great and then got canceled. Came back stronger w/ smitty and mintzy.

    Not a Real Poker Podcast
    90% of the show is spent on unrelated topics. The show also has no structure. The Host Nate doesn’t keep up with current tournaments and events in Poker, so it doesn’t report real Poker news. Their best assets are co-hosts Jake Toole and Mintzy, but they both consistently don’t make the show. It then becomes a 1-hour convo about Nate and Smitty personal lives. If you’re trying to get into poker, you are better off listening to Solve 4 Y podcast “Only Friends”. They actually have a planned out show on a daily basis.

    Portnoy
    Podcast is the equivalent of the owner of the business: crusty, outdated, and short. But don’t take my word for it. Look up Portnnoying’s height and it says 5’10” but many have confirmed he’s more like 5’6”. Call his bluff and he will fold. So in sum, the podcast is awful and so is Portnnoying.

    Best Poker Podcast
    I heard about smitty and Nate’s deep run in the main on poker go’s podcast coverage of the main. I tuned into them and it is my new favorite podcast. They have great guest, good strategy, and keep poker fun. It gives me hope that a fish like me may become a profitable player at some point in my life lol. Keep up the great work and push for a barstool sports poker tour!

    Good pod. Good dudes. Average poker players interviewing great ones.
  • Hagsvur
    One of the best
    This podcast has a great mix of the fun and lighthearted attitude that comes with playing poker and the in depth strategy side of the game as well. The guests that come on rarely disappoint.
  • Bryant Halsey
    Balanced and entertaining
    Quickly has become my favorite podcast to listen to. The boys offer a good balance between all the fun poker has to offer with good interviews and quality poker content as well. Keep up the great work.

  • RobMora45
    Guest are good but host is not
    The regulars are a real tough listen
  • Ty Fritz
    Good show with bad rating
    This is actually a good show.
  • kyle rig
    Great dynamic
    Very fun podcast, a good mix of poker and all the things that come with it

    5 stars
    Love it!
  • E.Dodson
    Great guest, hosts make it unlistenable
    I’ve tried multiple times whenever they get a guest I want to listen to but I can never get to the end of the episodes. The hosts don’t know how to interview and it is straight up a tough listen
  • xgrahamx
    Need a new host
    Main dude is unlistenable, which is a bummer because great guests and other guys are great.
  • Drew Irvin
    Great podcast
    Awesome podcast for the average poker player. Amazing Guess on the show. Makes you feel like you’re one of the guys hanging out talking after a session.

    Had no idea there was 2 different feeds. King Mintzy!
  • Uptown Aussie
    Awesome Pod, Great Personalities
    Love the podcast, great stories and fun laughs. Poker guests are awesome. Time for a Barstool poker event!
  • Joemommanugga
    Pull the plug
    It’s long overdue
  • Lue Campbell
    Amateurs that Know Poker slang
    They just aren’t very good at poker. I heard Mintz is okay but he is offset by the rest of them
  • BigMac865
    Great personality, great show
    Great barstool content, it’s nice to be able to hear some poker talk and strategies while enjoying some humor. Also, smitty has a huge dong, Nate is not balding, mintz is the king of Mississippi ( even tho he is late to shows cause he’s “ popular “ )
  • Rollrowbeacingtonalabama
    Piss poor
    Nate consistently showing why he’s the most insufferable person at Barstool. Would rather listen to, quite literally, anything else.
  • duke4214
    Good before barstool take over
    Was great with just Nate and Jake talking poker but now it’s 90% barstool drama stories. Not sure this should be a poker podcast anymore but it was a good run.
  • KOP Mike
    Royal Flush of Poker Podcasts
    Highly entertaining group of guys. They always get top tier interviews lined up. I do wish they would revisit poker strategy like they do in some of the earlier episodes.
  • RhettDabbington
    Fun listen
    Jake is such a hidden gem, really smart and even-keeled dude that makes for a great listen. Have learned a lot from him. Nate adds some wildcard value and spices things up, although I could do without all the angsty depressed talk. Mintz and Smitty great additions and they land stellar interviews. Overall a great pod.
  • got kirk in a collar
    3 Chi should bail
    All I have to say is Smitty needs to go, which is saying a lot when the Nate dog is involved
  • lovesmykimmy
    Wish these were more frequent,
    Great personality contrast. Usually funny. It’s a hang, they’re not comedians. My only negative criticism is that they can roll through poker hands using vocabulary that is hard to follow if they are in the background. It’s not like they’re speaking another language, but it can be a tough short hand if you’re not paying attention.
  • Gary Withers
    Very Torn
    Love poker, everyone else is good, but add me to the list that just can’t stand Nate. I’m not sure I’ve ever listened to someone less self aware, it’s just brutal
  • Big_bad_wolf97
    Love these guys
    From someone who loves the game and has been playing for 12 years, 5 stars easy. You guys are a fun balance of poker theory and hysterical stories, keep It up!
  • Zackdel
    Nate has a tiny weiner
    Smitty has a big weiner

    November 8, 2021 I’m done
    Listening to Nate defend his horrific play at the World Series, to have him be involved in anything related to poker again- I can’t. If he was removed from this show- I would pay $20 a month subscription for this show. If he stays I wouldn’t recommend this show to anyone. Done

  • Bardstown King
    Horrible
    Waste of time. Listen to the Kirk Minihane Show instead.
  • L@kisAA
    Great
    Haters gonna hate but this show takes the serious out of poker talk at the table.
  • Bigcbbfan333
    Best podcast ever!!!
    The only poker podcast I listen to. Great insight and entertainment. Feels like I’m one of the guys! Nate is only a 7.5/10 looks wise though. Not even an 8
  • Fjdjsjdjdj
    Not for me. Bad mix.
    This show would be awesome just smitty and mitzy. Nate is just awful and insufferable. I gave it my best and honest shot. Maybe next time around fellas!
  • Jeffmerp
    Long time listener
    I’m a 26 year old amateur and absolutely love this show, I don’t understand why Nate is being hated on so much, I think he gives a hilarious and honest perspective of the amateur and Jake is so humbly fricken sick. Keep the pod going boys we’re rooting for you!!!
  • PauWau6969696
