You won't find grain mkt discussion here, just poker and being annoyed by politics.

@kwansfull @Protentialmn @tjreidpoker @jeffplatt @Kevmath 30 min breaks are the worse of all possible. Not enough time to do anything more than a 15 min break so you end up just walking or standing around for 15 extra min

[Ronnie Bardah @RonnieBardah]

@Kevmath @WSOP 75 min dinner break minimum please every damn day. What are we even doing here?

[Matt Berkey @berkey11]

I'm a HUGE fan of no dinner breaks when it drastically shortens the day, but this is just a hilarious change when still playing 12 hour days. I've never been less excited for what is (was?) the most important event in our industry.

[Ian Pelz @IanPelz]

@Kevmath What time is the 625 tomorrow?

If you win the 50k seat, do you have to start on time?

Thanks

[Ian Pelz @IanPelz]

@learnmixgames @WSOP @NickJulia It was an honor to play at his table in his own event (and even double through him!).

[Ian Pelz @IanPelz]

@25kfantasy I don't see points being logged for Qinghai Pan's 20th place finish in Event #42. Can you please check? Thanks for everything you do!

[Ian Pelz @IanPelz]

@WSOP apparently 20% rake isn't enough to keep the lights on for the Colossus players?

There’s something about watching the same high rollers getting it in with 99+ AK against eachother on repeat for the last 3 years that I just can’t watch the stream for more than a few minutes. Every now and again there will be an incredible hand that makes me fall in love with poker again, but they’re always clipped and easy to see standalone.

Also no interest in high stakes cash whales randomly flipping for infinite.

Because of huge over exposure to NLH streams it dilutes the excitement of main event streams since we have it available basically 365 days a year.

Things I’d love to watch/tune in for

- 10k mix championship fts with household legends

- Random rags to riches FTs

[Ian Pelz @IanPelz]

@ARIAPoker Thanks for a great tournament. Game of the future!

[Misha Savinov @BadSeed_]

No live footage from Stud High Championship final table with @AllenKessler... what are you guys @WSOP thinking? Like amateurs...

[Ian Pelz @IanPelz]

@Lance_Bradley Hey Lance, can't DM but have one that qualifies.

If only the CFTC were as swift and aggressive in policing market integrity as they are on market access.

My sister is raising money for the Alzheimer's Association. Please consider donating. If she hit's her goal I won't have to buy her a Birthday or Christmas present.

If you don't have the extra cash, just hit this with an RT.

@Kevmath Will we be able to find our Paris Tournament Account via cashier's check at the cage?

If so, who do we make it out to?

Thanks in advance!

Some Thoughts On Richard Nickel and Historic Preservation, by @chi_geek

"I cannot believe the Art Institute is even considering relocating it. The room is significant not only to Chicago’s architectural history, but also the institution’s own history. We cannot take this space for granted; we must save it!

"The Chicago Stock Exchange, one of the finest examples of the First Chicago School of Architecture, was fully rented and the center of a huge preservation battle but was still torn in down in 1972.

"It’s just another sad chapter in the life and legacy of Richard Nickel. Although I have a feeling if he was still with us, Richard wouldn’t be surprised at this latest development.

"A year before his death, he wrote, “Ah, the world gets weaker and weaker, dumber and dumber. The good people get knocked off, the good buildings get smashed, the lofty values wither.”

"Call me a cynic, but I could not agree more as the city and its cultural institutions continue to fail us.

"If you’d like to sign the petition to save the Chicago Stock Exchange Trading Room, please add your signature here."

We are enthusiastically willing to pay TSA workers today, and we will keep trying, but the sticking point is that Republicans want to attach ICE funding to it. We are not in agreement about ICE, but I don’t think workers and travelers should have to wait for an ICE deal.

@ThePokerBoss @GambleOnPoker I got my hand killed in a stud tournament when I 1st started playing because I fanned my 7 cards together and found a winner. I think my opponent was a giant douche for invoking the rule, but the rule is there to prevent cheating and it's his right to potentially protect himself.

[Ian Pelz @IanPelz]

@ThePokerBoss @GambleOnPoker High limit cash games are a different ecosystem. They naturally self police. That's why they can selectively enforce procedural rules. Rules also exist for a reason, which @GambleOnPoker gave a great example of. Public tournaments are exactly where they should be enforced.
