@SavagePoker @PokerTDA This is seriously not a troll even if it might sound like 1.

If I have a stack of 20 small chips I can no longer shuffle 8 of them because now they aren't in a stack of 20? Same if say I have 22 chips (20 and 2 which is weird on it's own) I can't break off 6 to shuffle?

@jeremyausmus Or poker was always a means to an end, and they had enough success to finally escape the loop and touch grass. Good players disappearing doesn't always mean they went BU

[Matthew Emmel @Mattraq1]

This has unfortunately aged well

[Daily Ref @refereeinsider]

The NFL does NOT want the Panthers in the postseason🔒

Brad Allen has been chosen as the head official for this Panthers vs Buccaneers Saturday matchup, and he has a huge bias for favorites...

Under Allen last 3 years:

🔴 Favorites are 31-14 (69%)
🔴 Divisional favorites are 18-5 (78%)
🔴 Home divisional favorites are 10-1 (91%)

Sorry Panthers fans...

@larbnosaj Dude for real. People cry "refs screwed us" so often tho that I doubt this gets any traction. But this is legitimately "fire the whole crew" worthy

[Matthew Emmel @Mattraq1]

What the actual @#$& is going on with the reffing in this Panthers game?

This isn't refs missing calls because they are human, this is outright not knowing the rules in multiple spots.

Don't worry tho, if a player mentions it they will get fined

@elonmusk Gotta know when to foldem

Happy BBM 4 hour slow draft day. See u all Sept 4th

@AlZeidenfeld Depends on the state

[Matthew Emmel @Mattraq1]

@TylerP_Poker @Stapes @MariaHo @Joeingram1 @StoolMintzy Oh I agree with u entirely. Friends/Family who dont follow closely but know "you're a poker pro" might watch and its one of the few chances to validate your career for people who might not know better. Less an issue today, but know years ago was hard for people to take seriously

@WPT @Protentialmn

[Matthew Emmel @Mattraq1]

@NCBatbishop @WSOP Ya WPT spot is VERY different than WSOP. WPT spot is likely determined by the insurance company (think the million dollar shot in basketball years ago). WSOP this situation has come up a ton of times before with no action/DQ. This one is just unique because of the WPT promo.

[Matthew Emmel @Mattraq1]

@WSOP The absolute WORST thing you should get away with is not award POY points. Anything beyond that is absurd.

[Matthew Emmel @Mattraq1]

So what you're saying is the entire plot of Top Gun: Maverick could have been avoided if they used a B2 with a 30,000lb bunker buster/MOP?

[Matthew Emmel @Mattraq1]

Disney do yourself a favor and just put Tony Gilroy in charge of Star Wars. Seriously, just cancel everything else and let him run it.

[Matthew Emmel @Mattraq1]

Uhhhh, after years of absolute trash, how did Disney Star Wars stumble into some of the best outright TV, let alone Star Wars, with Andor. Specifically the season 2 episode 7-9 arc that just dropped. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into tonight.

[Matthew Emmel @Mattraq1]

Not gonna lie. REALLY missing Draftkings Reignmakers. Hoping that they (or somebody else) can figure out a legal way to run a similar game. It was really an incredible shame that the ignorance of the legal system caused it to go away.

@elonmusk @CommunityNotes How do you propose the votes get collected in Russia occupied Ukraine?

Serious question, would Trump have an election if a foreign power occupied Texas and Florida, and the constitution dictates he doesn't have one?
