So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s

I will never ever forget that Israel killed a boy with Down Syndrome by setting IDF dogs on him and if this was the only person that country had ever killed it would be enough to hate that scum colony forever

I wrote about the Ren Lin scandal and what sponsored pros are endorsing when they're on payroll of a poker site. I also went through his and GG's statement with a fine tooth comb and explained why they are lacking.

“They are manifesting their unconscious desire to control the size of the pot, but in doing so, they are giving away their level of commitment to the hand.” My article on how to read bet-sizing tells but also a how you can get it very, very wrong. 😂 🖊️ https://t.co/huKMcfZ5nl

I would like to formally welcome Ian to the high roller club. Sadly he seems to be too good at NLH to join the mixed games club.

I had hoped I might be a footnote in a trip report, this is far more than I could have hoped for or expected. You should read all of @dklappin 's articles, he's an excellent writer, feel free to start with this one. Great film too.
A screening of ‘One Battle After Another’ turned out to be the perfect prep as he bludgeoned his way thru the field, cognisant of how the structure demanded a proactive bish-bosh-bash approach. My piece about @SidrisElba + others winning in Birmingham. 🖊️ https://t.co/pTmGneVKzQ
