Note to self: don’t open-rip the button with A8s and 22 bigs on the unofficial final table bubble

<2 hrs into sesh, so far I’ve refused to do the “courtesy show” when villain was first to show, objected to a BTN straddle, & forced a player to stack his chips properly. Table is openly talking about how miserable I am to play with & how they plan to slow-roll me. #pokerheel

Players who film their all-ins deserve to get wrecked

Every take I’ve seen about the chip dumping scandal is wrong. The lifetime bans are good and justified.

MAIN EVENT

Busto. Got it in with 66 vs. the Grinder’s K8dd on K76ddx, couldn’t hold. GG us.

Outrageous that this insufferable narcissist is allowed to interrupt the tournament like this every year

Hunting down the lone male masseur and getting my massage in the middle of WSOP Paris, so everyone knows I’m not homophobic

Unpopular opinion: showing bluffs is actually kind of mean-spirited. People tell themselves they do it for “advertising,” but they’re actually just indulging an egotistical desire to show off how badly they owned the other player. Validation-seeking at someone else’s expense.

People that are good for poker inspire others by showing their wit, skill, competitive spirit or resilience on Tv. It’s misunderstanding how content works to think that more views equals good for the game. It’s just people curious to see assholes act like assholes.

24 players remain out of nearly 10,000, and two of them were on my day 1 starting table, two and three spots to my left, respectively. At least they put my chips to good use.

Lots of people are misinterpreting this post as me shitting on The Grinder, but it’s entirely possible to see these observations as yet more evidence for what a legend the guy is.

I was invited onto the “Dead Money with Dan Arfin” podcast, to rant about poker things. Check it out if it suits you. open.spotify.com/episode/2E8p40…

We need a complete and total shutdown of dogs in the poker room until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

Yes

I was just on my friend Dan’s podcast again. Give it a listen if that sort of thing tickles your jollies or whatever. open.spotify.com/episode/2yx1bj…
