The 2023
@WSOP
in Las Vegas has all but concluded and I will be heading back to South East Asia in a few hours.
There are many things I could and should write about concerning the last 7 weeks but most of those would get me in trouble one way or another. 😂
Where do I start?

events since late 2010 and covered tournaments with buy-ins between $50 and $1 million.
Today marks the start of my personal

The global pandemic certainly had an influence on the

But not everything is as shiny as one might think so bear me out for a little thread during an airport layover.

The

A random guy yells "you are a clown" into his phone while pacing around in the back, which can be heard in the entire room.

is such a thankless job many a times. No wonder so many of the new reporters quit after a year.
Most of the veterans moved to other jobs, because it wears you out physically and mentally throughout the years.

Well yeah, but I don't think Brewer is ripping here with 17bb with K2o.
So something in the hand history must be wrong:
- stack size
- hand
- position
- preflop action

Of all the things "wrong" in the poker industry, this is the issue one of the most well-known players with a large social media presence is doubling down on.
I somehow fail to see the
