Zero Buy-In. Sit and Go. We love these names. On Friday night, July 22, at 9:00 pm EST, Open Source, courtesy of PokerStars.com, is holding a zero buy-in, sit-and-go poker tournament.
Bernard Lee will be playing, and I’ll bet he’s better at poker than you are. (On Thursday, Chris is talking to Bernard on Open Source.) The pot is $100, and PokerStars is paying everyone’s ante.
This is the greatest job in the world.
I am very bad at poker. I’m twitchy, easily bored and not hard to read, traits that have made me equally miserable as a poker player and a lacrosse goalie. But perhaps you’re good at it, just good enough to beat everyone but Bernard and take the second-place $30 prize.
Perhaps you think you can take him.

I am a young gun. I am 22 years old with a fast, aggressive style. I am always the best player at a table and I want to prove it.
Hi Brendan,
Wish I could have participated; I’m actually in West Africa for the next week. I brought along a digital audio recorder with me and I’m getting some fairly good stuff; I spent Wed. afternoon at a Liberian refugee camp, learning about IT training programs and adult literacy initiatives there. I plan to post a compressed MP3 version of some of my interviews there later today, if I can get enough bandwidth to post it. I’m also posting video blogs from here, apparently a first for Ghana.
ps- I tried emailing this to you but it bounced back. -andy
I’m new to this site, but have listened to some of your streamed shows.
I would love you play in this Poker Tournament against a world class player.
I’ve been addicted to poker since it hit the bigtime (when the NHL went on hold), and I would like to see where my skill level sits with someone like Bernard Lee.
Maybe if I win some cash, I will start trying to use that to make it to the next WSOP.
would like to knockout bernard lee
“Perhaps you think you can take him”
oh i will
I took great interest in the conversation last night… pure chance (gambling) vs. cognitive perception, weekend-warriors vs. seasoned professionals, gambling away the family jewels vs. “seven-figure” incomes. I would like to help Bernard explore the former of each of these experiences, first hand…
