Here we are coming to you from Oceanside California. Carlos has flown over 3000 miles, I drove 4 hours in Los Angeles traffic, and Mike has walked down the street from his house. We are huddled in a little hotel room around a small coffee table, and a microphone with a sock over it; Mike and I have chairs, and Carlos is sitting on the corner of the bed.
We talk over prop bets, filming Mike's next series, and summing up the last 2 days of poker.

I talk about an in-flight emergency my wife and I had at our local airport. Then I go into a quick strategy hand I had where I was facing a 2/3 pot bet with Queen high on the river.

Mike comes back to fill us in on his latest project; POKER PRO: Year 1. You can watch it by clicking here.
Mike: "How hard is it to survive in poker? I'm not entirely sure...wish I had the answer before I quit my job, moved to California, and decided to become a professional poker player. Can I thrive and prosper? Will I be getting a minimum wage job soon or can I make it through the year, taking care of my son and meeting all my obligations, with poker profits alone? The stakes are high in Poker Pro: Year One as I fight to survive and make my dreams come true. Along the way I will interact with other pros with knowledge and love of the game of poker."
