@themouthmatusow First time in my life agreeing with @themouthmatusow

Introducing a new rule, any new rule, mid tour is absolutely ridiculous. Players signed up for the tournament under a certain set of rules and are now playing under a different set of rules.

@TheGambler1999 Don’t worry bet it all on red, even or down 740k. 😁

@Bradley88995765 Not correct at all. Also if he's button, the dealer just gives him the top card on the deck (since that would have been his card), and action continues normally.

@SunnySidePicks @chellgod Nah you're not cooked. He's just going to max out your credit with the bookie and leave you on the hook for all tax implications (account holder is responsible for taxes, not the person betting). I'd say you're fried.

@CoachBroker Tf you going to relax for the next 50 years? You'll get bored after about 6 months of relaxing. Go find something to do, regardless of money.

@CoinPoker_OFF KQo

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@jesswelman Mathematically it doesn't make a difference.

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@CoinPoker_OFF It's like 89o in No Limit Hold Em.

@StanLabanowski @AlecTorelli Not the first 23 cards, because we don't know if the burn cards were the same or not. Cards 19, 23, & 25 could have been different. Nevertheless, when it comes to numbers at this scale it's almost irrelevant.

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@StanLabanowski @AlecTorelli This isn't quite accurate because we are only concerned with 23 cards. 9 players x 2 cards = 18 and the flop, turn, & river = 5; for a total of 23 cards. The remaining 29 cards can be shuffled differently and we wouldn't know. Real odds are 4.3 x 10^23; still insanely low.

@phil_hellmuth @WSOP @PhillipHellmuth Bro has 35k in cashes, and is charging 1.4 in a tournament where the buy in 1/3 of his total earnings. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@luxemiaa So what happens tomorrow if your boyfriend decides that he doesn't want to pay more because he makes more and cuts back his hours 75% in order to pay less rent? Now he'll make $1,375 and you both pay $600 each?

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@PokerNews @harrington25 @WSOP I'm going to say this in the nicest possible way. He has a great voice for commentating. The problem is the shit he says is so profoundly stupid that it either makes me cringe or facepalm. I genuinely prefer watching it on mute if he is commentating.

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@JPReilly15 @RobKuhn_ Fair enough.

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@JPReilly15 @RobKuhn_ I play both online and live about equally as much; and I don't think either one is comparable to the WSOP in vegas. In a given table, you can be sat with all pros or all drunk people who don't fully understand the basic rules of poker. I can't say that about live or online poker.

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@JPReilly15 @RobKuhn_ That's the problem. There isn't a similar tournament out there to the WSOP $1,500s in vegas. The regular $1,500 in your local casino is not comparable. We're talking maybe 500-700 entries verses 10-15k entries. Variance would be all over the place when comparing the two.

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@ryandepauloo Problem is by nature of variance, no one knows who most the people who go super deep in these tens of thousands of players' fields are. Hard to root for randos that you'll never see play again. Compared to the 250k where everyone knows all the crushers.

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@PatrickWhatUp_ What's even funnier is that off 6BB he got 2 more pay jumps after that fold. 😂

[Arthur @ArthurBekkerman]

@JPReilly15 @RobKuhn_ You would need hundreds of tournaments, specifically in WSOP, in a given buy in to remotely accurately determine a ROI and since WSOP only has so many $1,500s every year; you could play for decades and not get a sufficient sample.
