@JoeCada99 Because one of the old WSOP shows on ESPN said don't look at your cards until it's your turn to not give off tells.

Personally I look as soon as I get all of my cards.

@Savageboston You cannot be this dumb.

If everything you say it's true then The Bucks are not going to agree to anything until they know what they are getting from a 3rd team for Jaylen Brown.

They don't want Jaylen Brown and not going to be a bag holder if they cannot move him.

@TexasMike2014 @padspoker Kahbrel is funny and entertaining in clip form.

Would it be annoying to sit at a table with him? 100% yes, but I will never play at those stakes so I don't give a shit.

At the end of the day I watch poker to be entertained and Kahbrel is entertaining to me.

@AllenKessler @WSOP Not just the seniors but any event that can end around 9 or 10 PM if dinner break is skipped would be my preference.

@BobMatherPoker Baseball hall of fame is more like the hall of very good.

If you were telling the story of MLB to somebody who knows nothing about it so many players in the HOF would not even be noteworthy to mention while others who had a big impact didn't get in.

It's basically a shit HOF.

@RealKidPoker They are taught this from a young age. The kids in a class are responsible for cleaning the classroom and even serving food to their fellow classmates.

This wouldn't fly in the USA. Some parent will raise hell because a teacher had little Billy sweep the classroom floor.

I thought this was @HardyRadio in this golf video, but the guy says his name is Jim. Tell me this is not his doppelganger.

@riolara8 @lowstakesdre The @WSOP has always accommodated me when I ask to stay to watch my chips get colored up. A floor person will usually do my table first so I can leave the room and go on break ASAP.

I feel most people want to maximize their break, but it doesn't bother me to stay for 5 mins.

@jeffplatt If all the cameras are rolling on all tables can we have streams of each table with graphics and no commentary. Some people want to watch a specific game that is not on being highlighted the main stream

You can still have have a main stream doing what you do now with commentary

@audavidb I don't play your stakes, but I always thought the WSOP around 2013 were the best as a rec in terms of structure.

A 1.5k NL tournament was a 3-day freeze out where you make the money end of day 1 or early day 2.

Late reg was the end of dinner break day 1.

[Brian @yeedog80]

@MarkDondero Brady with the ball on the 20 with 45 seconds left and needing a fg to win. You feel like fuck ya we are going to win.

Tatam with the ball down by 1 with 14 seconds left. You don't feel fuck ya, you feel nervous that tatum will dribble dribble dribble step back 3.

[Brian @yeedog80]

@TristanCre8ive @WSOP What I want will never happen ...

- less re-entry and more freezeouts.
- structures similar to the 2013 WSOP where a standard 1.5K NL freezeout was a 3-day event where you made the money late day 1 or early day 2.
- remove dinner break so the day ends at 9PM and not midnight.

[Brian @yeedog80]

@slayabidesd0tl @jeremyausmus 100%. I first played at the WSOP in the early 2010's and I think those structures were the best.

You needed to win hands or you were out by dinner break. Tournaments were 3 days and you were in the money end of day 1 or early day 2.

[Brian @yeedog80]

@RealKidPoker @jeremyausmus Honestly I liked the 2013 era structures in the 1K and 1.5K the best. Tourneys were 3 day freezeouts and you were in the money late day 1 or early day 2.

You need to win hands or you were out by dinner break. People will say it's not rec friendly, but I was rec and have a fun

[Brian @yeedog80]

Is @jorgiesepulveda Tyler's replacement on @ZoandBertrand as producer or is he just filling in while a search is being conducted?

@bostonmedia617 You clearly have never worked at a tech company. Those engineers love their free food.

[Brian @yeedog80]

@bostonradio That's what the Celtics need, Mazzulla encouraging Giannis to take 3s because it's the most efficient shot in the game.

[Brian @yeedog80]

@HARPER04_5 @celtics @76ers That's how Joe Mazzulla sees the game. It's all about the analytics and how "the 3 is the most efficient shot".

He wants the team to take NBA open 3's over 2s whenever possible. Game flow and all that stuff doesn't matter to the analysis. They live and die by the math.

[Brian @yeedog80]

@fandompulse The problem was it the shitty story telling with constant call backs that were uneccessary. When Mark Hamill says "Jedi’s do not give up" and "Luke would never say that" that's a problem.

The Mandalorian, Andor, and Rouge One are good things that come out.

[Brian @yeedog80]

@racquetballdean I had no idea big progressive jackpots were paid out by a different company via an annuity. I just assumed you got a check from the casino and went on your way.

I feel like this isn't common knowledge, but I have no idea.

Can you take a lump sum over the annuity like Powerbal?
