What is going on here? This is apparently the most viewed poker clip of all time. In it the hero matter of factly narrates a hand in which he raises with JJ, gets five callers, flop T52r, he checkraises, bets turn, and wins a 70bb pot without showdown. youtube.com/watch?v=cHEt7R…

If this really is a new kind of sentient being, it sure is a coincidence how much it sounds like a dopey sci-fi villain.

I got to go on my favorite podcast and it was a lot of fun!

I do not endorse this claim about being the best in the world.

The second choice is “government.”

Why had no one told me the Canadian Supreme Court wear Santa Claus outfits?

There’s really gotta be something wrong with you to see this chart and think that it’s, in any way, a bad deal or unsustainable.

Unusually long but important clip from this week’s episode of THE LOCK-IN with Maria Konnikova as I asked for her reaction to what phil_hellmuth said about Isaac Haxton’s decision to wear a mask at the tables.

It was a delight to sit down with Andrew and Carlos for a long interview. They asked some very thoughtful questions and I think we covered some good stuff. Hope you enjoy it!

I get one of these like every day. Do people think you catch covid through your fingers?

I don't care what Phil says, but PNews covering this like it's a legitimate point of debate is really ugly.

Many people have medical reasons they need to be careful to avoid exposure to COVID and other respiratory infections. Banning masks would exclude them from live poker.

Carrying on a proud tradition of products called Sparks that probably shouldn’t exist and are gonna give someone a heart attack.

New fun Twitter feature:

The for you tab is just showing me random bereaved people. Woman whose husband just died in a bike accident. Man whose wife just died of Alzheimer’s. Small accounts who don’t appear to know anyone I know.

Looking forward to this! Please let us know anything you'd like to hear about.

Death penalty for the people who sell products that advertise “no artificial sweeteners” and then include stevia or some shit. My “lower sugar yogurt” tastes like someone poured a Diet Coke in it.

To be fair this is pretty much how my brain feels at this point.

So thankful you have to be 18 to play in poker tournaments.
