There has been a lot of noise around buying action and markups in poker. I've personally bought action in over 10 Million tournaments.
Here's how I see it and where I think some others see it incorrectly.
"How can you not like Brunson? He's small, everyone doubted him... [The Knicks] are a supremely likable team, their fans are jerks, their fans are everything that makes everybody hate New York." - @stoolpresidente
FIFA is charging $79 (£59) for fans to have their name on the big screen at World Cup venues before matches this summer.
Through its “Super Shoutout” program, world football’s governing body has listed all 72 group-stage matches at this summer’s tournament and fans can pay $79 (not including tax) to have their name shown on the stadium’s scoreboard.
While the page advertises a “shoutout slot” you can reserve so your name appears “during the match” and “at the right moment in the right game”, the terms state the “Super Shoutouts will be displayed during pregame” and “not be displayed during live match play”.

Kemi Badenoch accuses Nigel Farage of 'grandstanding' and 'reinforcing the difference' after he claimed Britain has become a two-tier country in the wake of Henry Nowak's murder
She tells @GMB 'we are descending into tribalism' and that Nigel Farage's intervention has angered here. 'We can't solve it by whipping people up, we can't solve it by making them angry'
'I have a nine-year-old boy - in 10 years he will be about that age. He is half black, he is half white. I bring him up to believe this country is one where he belongs and he should never worry about how he will be treated. You see that video and think how can we tell our children these things? I want that to be the reality
'What Nigel Farage is doing is reinforcing the difference. We need to find what we have in common. Not what separates us.
'I don't want to hear about black lives matter. I don't want to hear about white lives matter. We all matter. Enough of this nonsense where we keep separating everybody and splitting people into different groups. We are descending into tribalism
'What I do not like is seeing Nigel Farage jump on this issue when he doesn't do any work, he doesn't turn up to Parliament, he doesn't take things seriously but he sees this as an opportunity to grandstand
'I'm not making this about white people or black people. It was wrong for him to do that. A backlash will come. If you encourage people to think about themselves as being part of a group defined by their skin colour we will encourage everyone to do that
'We should not make this about Nigel Farage. This is about Henry Nowak. I listened to his father and it was absolutely heartbreaking.
'This morning I watched that bodycam footage and just kept thinking if that was my boy his last moments were spent in handcuffs. He knew he was dying. He could see the confusion, his attacker claiming he had been a racist. It's an awful, awful way to die.
'What Nigel Farage is saying completely misunderstands that politicians wait until the sentencing before we say what we think. That case shows something has gone very horribly wrong with policing. I think we know why
'That case shows that something has gone very horribly wrong with policing and I think I know why. I think in 2020-2021 there was a response to the George Floyd murder that has over-corrected. I think everyone matters
'We need to bring back common sense. You don't need to be trained in racism or anti-racism to have seen what Henry was experiencing and know that he needed help. Something has gone wrong with the policing'

The world's largest cat is neither a lion nor a tiger
The liger, a rare hybrid born from a male lion and a female tiger, can grow larger than both parent species. Some individuals have exceeded 400 kg (900 lbs), making ligers the largest cats known to exist
I don't wanna be that guy, but for me Noni fouls Mendes just as much in order to get himself in front, to then get taken down, it's very 50/50, fouls on both sides... #AFC 🔴⚪
