Is there any data about rake in live poker tournaments over the last 5/10/20 years? It feels like the total amount taking out the prize pool gets progressively higher. When will it / does it have to stop?
The temperature today in Paris is simply unbearable.
My hands are shaking and my entire body is in chills.
It's been almost a month.
Plenty of time to address this.
@SavagePoker More chips gives less play. Theoretically, of course what matters isn't the starting chips per dollar but the number of blinds in the starting stack and how rapidly the blinds rise. But practically, the more chips players think they have, the slower they play.
In happier, non-doping tennis news: that Djokovic is spending this weekend in Argentina - at age 37; in the sparse off-season; as he gears up for Australian with a new coaching situation - making sure @delpotrojuan gets the send-off he deserves....speaks volumes and speaks so well of both players....
Final table of the main event what a ride, less than ideal today but 9/9 into Sunday. See if I can find my inner @Martin_Jacobson! Making big calls, making big folds, being right and being wrong. All part of the process. Time to sun run a little longer! Let’s fucking go
@racheleesthinks@WSOP@WSOPTD@Kevmath Not to mention talking in heads up pots has been a part of the game for decades! Probably my favorite part of the game 😆
Apparently you can’t talk in a heads up pot in @WSOP events @WSOPTD@Kevmath - IMO this rule should be changed ASAP. Besides being a useful strategy, banter is fun for amateurs and pros alike and provides entertainment to those not in the hand. Make poker fun again!
