How to Intro a Radio Guest
(Make’em Feel Good!)

Over the years, I’ve found that a good way to break the ice before an interview, especially with a guest you are not personally familiar with, is to BLOW SMOKE up their ass. Don’t lie, of course, but certainly ‘play’ to their attributes. What I like to call ‘Resume Rundown’. List their feats and minimize their defeats. I like to think I’m quite good at it this art….what do you think? Here are two examples of Intro’s I’ve ‘sprung’ on my unsuspecting guests:

Greg Mueller – 2-time bracelet winner at WSOP

Alright High Rollers, our next guest is unbelievable! He’s the kind of poker player you’d like to be, the kind of player I’d like to be. A guy who wins day in, day out, competitive by nature, a former professional hockey player - he suits up and shows up, and when he shows up folks you better be at a different table because your money is what he’s after!

He’s a two-time bracelet winner! Won his first in 09, the $10,000 world championship of limit hold’em,. Eleven days later, captured his 2nd in a $1500 dollar limit hold’em shoot-out. He finished runner-up once in a mixed hold’em event and has a 4th place on the WPT on his resume as well.

He’s also been to a WSOP 7-card stud World Championship final table. Oh…and he kills the cash games…a Canadian folks…Greg “FBT” Mueller.
(All true…and he was smiling before Q&A began!)


Tom Schneider – 2-time bracelet winner at WSOP/Author
Tom Schneider…joins us now…simply put…he’s one of the best poker players on the planet folks! Began his career in 2002, poker career that is, and since then he’s banked close to $2-million, about a million of that coming from the vaunted World Series of Poker. This guy can get it done when it matters…he’s got what the English call ‘bottle’ – he can hold his nerve.

And if you mention the year 2007, he’ll smile from ear to ear and why not? Won two gold bracelets, pot imit Omaha 7-card stud hi-low, 7 card stud hi-low, he also reached the final table of the $50,000 dollar HORSE event, and was named WSOP ‘Player of the Year.’

You catch my drift? This guy can play. Well-rounded too…Certified public accountant, author, podcaster, columnist, and now a friend of High Roller Radio.
Tom welcome to the show…
(Tom said, ‘I like it, nice intro!’)

“Straight Flush Baby!” - Hand of the Century?
Chris Tryba is the kind of guy that likes to do things in dramatic fashion. That’s just how he rolls. Well, in a style befitting the World Series of Poker, Tryba pulled off the unlikely, the improbable, and the unbelievable! True drama.

Yes, it’ll go down in World Series of Poker lore as being the perfect ending. What a finish. What a way to end a poker tournament. Chris Tryba today in our High Rollin’ “Hand of the Century!”

It’s rare…a hand that good..so rare! At a time like that? WOW! To win a gold bracelet is highly improbable, with fields so big and players so talented and a luck factor that can go anyway at any time. Even more unlikely? The way Chris Tryba put an end to things after navigating his way through a 393 player mine field that was the $2500 mixed hold’em event - half limit/half no-limit. Heads-up against a cagey and crafty Canadian in Eric Cajaleis, a French Canadian who owns his own poker club in Montreal and a guy with tattoos and big muscles, and I might add, a veteran at the tender age of 30. Cajaleis already owns 2 bracelets of his own.

Heads-up against that guy, Tryba managed to get his opponent all in holding a King-high straight, while he was holding a straight flush. SF, you’re kidding?

Tryba slammed his cards down face-up, unable to contain his emotion anymore, I mean, it won him the tournament and more than $200,000. As he slammed them down he yelled, “I call! Straight FLUSH Baby!!!!”

RAW EMOTION! That’s how it feels to hold the”Hand of the Century”….that’s how it feels to be a High Roller.
