Just finished reading Max Hasting’s history of WWII ‘All Hell Let Loose’. Ten pages from the end, completely unexpectedly, I came across an outline of my grandfather’s experience of the war. It includes some incredibly moving quotations from his letters to my gran.

At the 2021 WSOP I played with Robbie in the 1500 Shootout. We played a long heads up until 10pm. She did insanely unconventional things, obviously it’s not proof, but this footage where she’s flustered and can’t explain her thinking chimes with my experience.

If there’s no cheating involved perhaps we can have a think about the way we treat amateur players new to the game. Industry streams and high stakes pros are very quick to push anyone who seems to have disposable money to play super high as quick as possible.
