@melanieweisner @KILLTHEICON You are a poker player, you should think in term of %. Worldwide consensus doesn't mean something is 100% right, but it certainly means it is much more likely to be right.

@padspoker @ASchwartzPoker @Protentialmn Not really. Tournaments spots are wider in breadth. Cash game spots are farther in depth. The depth makes the game exponentially harder, while the breadth only increases difficulty linearly.

@abarone68 @BobSaucular @WSOP @phil_hellmuth Also, if a person comes from a booming poker market where no one in that country won a bracelet before, then the potential for sponsorship/marketing is huge. And is it a big event or small side event (e.g. $65k for 1st on https://t.co/nKw4ycLxJ1)?

@MartyyMcfly55 @thakilla @rootfayth @whassumattuh @andystackspoker @padspoker Of course, it's the same for most sports, or even most jobs in general. But that's not what I'm arguing about.

@thakilla @rootfayth @whassumattuh @andystackspoker @padspoker The ability to earn money should never be the principal factor to judge who are the true top players in a game.

@thakilla @rootfayth @whassumattuh @andystackspoker @padspoker Djokovic is considered goat of tennis but Federer is much richer (through sponsorship), Ronaldo is richer than Messi... In fact, some random footballers in Saudi Arabia earn more than De Bruyne, or some youtubers in boxing show matches may earn more tha some of the best boxers.

@JakeJoh91761053 @jony_bee @abbypoker_ No you won't.
- You won't be able to recognize what he folds
- This spot won't come up often enough (multiway ultra deep with many raises postflop)
- Your "bluffs" have to go through 2 uncapped ranges that are very filtered

[Jul Tran @_jultran]

@ttown_poker @jony_bee @abbypoker_ He's right though. If you play enough ultra deep stack poker, you will know.

@GazzyB1233 @HCLPokerShow @TexasMike2014 @chalie_hook The turn XR is not strictly repping straight though. Can still have sets/top 2-pairs.

@kohai33 @JustinBonomo That's not the optimal way to help. The best way for Bonomo would be safely staying here earning millions, then donate that instead.

@Raise_Fold_ @n9i4n @PeterJetten Refute? By saying dumb thing like "anyone who can do business with Dwan already knows his history of debt"? Lol.
And if you are not mocking, why mention the negative freeroll?

[Jul Tran @_jultran]

@Raise_Fold_ @n9i4n @PeterJetten Lol ok it's useless to talk logics with someone who is dumb enough to mock people who out bad defaulters.

[Jul Tran @_jultran]

@Raise_Fold_ @n9i4n @PeterJetten 5. A community where people actively warn others of bad actors will thrive much more in the long run as a whole, than thinking only about individual self. If you see someone pick pocket in public, what benefit for you to speak out? 0 individually. A lot as a community member.

[Jul Tran @_jultran]

@Raise_Fold_ @n9i4n @PeterJetten 3. It helps future EV: people may think twice before trying to default, knowing they will get publicly shamed.
4. Can't say for sure the chance of getting paid will be reduced to 0%. Sometimes public outing like this actually quicken the pay back.

[Jul Tran @_jultran]

@GingePoker But then if you pay too much attention to this, poker does not grant you freedom anymore - which is the biggest reason to play poker in the first place.
