They also talk about Elliott’s own journey from playing card games at his grandparent's house to online poker. The discussion also touches on the argument of poker being a game of skill rather than gambling, which is a theme explored during the film and has also featured in a number of court cases involving online poker, including the one that led to the shutdown of Pokerstars on ‘Black Friday’ 2011. To read more about what was discussed in today's episode, click on the following links:- Friday Night Flop - UK Jewish FilmHost: Steve HoareGuest: Elliott GernerProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James RossRemember to check out Optimove at https://hubs.la/Q02gLC5L0 or go to Optimove.com/sbc to get your first month free when buying the industry's leading customer-loyalty service.
