With the increase of anti-semitism worldwide I want to point out as one of the most openly jewish poker players around I’ve experienced anti-semitism at the tables exactly zero times. Props to our community- the world can learn from poker players!
This lady was involved in 2 enterprises that scammed the poker world for millions and yet
@wsop
@Horseshoetunica
chooses to honor her with a picture at the entrance to the tournament poker room. Shameful and a total lack of reflect to those of us players who got scammed
@AllenKessler
I was at that table and you were completely out of line- he paid his entry fee and is allowed to win or lose in peace without you calling him a moron to his face.

The biggest problem with most unlimited reentry tournaments is not the unlimited reentry part rather its the amount of time re-entry is open. I'd have little problem if tournaments had unlimited reentry for 4 hours (live)/ 90 mins (online)
18 left in wsop 10k limit o8 and I am one of them. We are in the money and I have at least 5% shot of winning the title. Such a nice sweat- good luck me.

Less then 80 years ago the world watched and did virtually nothing to stop it while 1 out of 3 Jews worldwide were murdered including the man (my great grandfather) who I was named after

8 years ago the department justice took over the 3 biggest poker sites and said they wouldn’t return them unless those sites stopped allowing American players. Since then, tens of thousands of fellow poker enthusiasts only chance to play online poker has been on shady 3rd tier 1/
Online poker is booming during this stay at home to slow the virus time. For most of us who enjoy the game- it’s a great relief and form of entertainment , but I know for some small % of us- it can lead to a lot of trouble. Please call 18005224700 if you find yourself gambling 1/
I think the rules in poker tournaments should be changed to make an effort to separate couples/siblings/close relatives that are randomly seated together. Seems in the best interest of fairness to the game and stops some misbehavior/temptation before it happens.
So frustrating seeing people make claims like this after they voted to effectively outlaw my profession and what millions of Americans did as a hobby

Nice to win this! Props to Joe F who got 2nd, played well and gave me props action the whole final table including heads up. First time doing props heads up in a tournament (till the floor eventually shut us down)

earned the victory in the Wynn Summer Classic $1,100 Limit Omaha 8 Event. Ari won $33,701 for his first place finish over the 130 player field. Congratulations Mr. Engel!
In case you’re living in bubble- everywhere around the world openly Jewish people go they are a target. You’re rhetoric even if it’s with good intentions has led to violence and hate and a significantly more dangerous world for a Jew who simply goes about their day
So sad and upsetting seeing everything happening in Israel. My heart is torn up for my extended brothers and sisters and their suffering. It goes without saying I stand with Israel and pray for the best possible outcome for hostages and those injured
Shout out to
@BetMGMPoker
for going 0 rake during their current online series for anyone entering before the tournament starts. Would love to see more of this online and live!
Feeling sad and angry at cancer for trying to ruin so many of my friends lives. Praying for JB, JC and AF. On a more positive note- it’s such a blessing to celebrate my Mom being cancer free for 25 years and hoping I’m able to do the same for my friends
Had a day you hope never to have.. went to the funeral of a dear friend of mine Justin Brown who died at age 38. Some of you will know him from the Midwest poker scene. A great guy and such a tragedy. I will miss him tons
@AllenKessler
Why not? If you bag chips you have tons of equity and if you need to skip a tournament who cares? You’re deep in another one. Also there are tons of cash games and one day tournies to play on your off day. Only supporting a WSOP monopoly for tournament poker is horrible strat imo
Thanks
@WynnPoker
for running mixed tournaments with perhaps the nicest poker room experience around and the lowest rake at this buyin level. Super professional staff too. A+ all around

@AllenKessler
There is always a debate whether to swap for only one entry or multiple and how that should work. But in Ak’s situation where player b is already on 2nd entry. The 1st entry is obviously a sunk cost and shouldn’t have any affect on the swap
One of the few poker players leaving Vegas today heading to Florida to celebrate my oldest niece’s bat-mitzvah. Looking forward to playing some wsop events next week and beyond. Gl all
Condolences to
@ToddBrunson
and family. Doyle was universally loved and respected in the poker world and competed at the highest levels for 40+ years as well as maintained a strong family life. What a fantastic legacy he leaves all of us in the poker world
Finished day 1 of $1100

(plain old no limit Holdem) as chipleader with 9/104 left after (all Allin preflop) My a4 ss Beats a4 cc. My t8 ss beat ak. My jt Beats aj. I have 935k @ 10k and avg is 347k
Love the minor league poker tradition of ‘sucking out’ and then informing the losing player/rest of the table about all the hands you got unlucky with over the last 6 months. We truly play such a great game
Calling attention to
@shrpo
and
@BorgataPoker
for running some lower rake tournaments. Seminole is running $350 +40 and $350+25 (faster) satellites to their $3500 main event today/tom and borgata is running a $1485+ 75 (1k bounty) on 4/21.

Black Friday was 12 years ago today! Changed so many of our lives including unfortunately a few who are no longer with us. It’s time that the USA embraces freedom and legalizes and regulates online poker

Made the long journey from Mexico (got crushed in scoop) to Israel, and almost made it an hour before my first Schwarma. Will spend the next few days eating (and visiting family) before heading to Vegas for WSOP next week
Things you like to see! Veronica was instrumental in exposing poker cheating on a live stream. Postle and his defenders then harassed her endlessly including a bogus lawsuit. It’s nice to see good things happening to her in our industry.
I'm pleased to announce that i will be partnering with my favorite poker room
@JACKClePKR
for the next year to promote the room and play lots of live poker in Cleveland 💙💜💚. I'm very excited for this opportunity
