@AndySlater @HialeahPark Honestly curious if the people creating stuff like this genuinely think it will create a safe playing environment or if it’s just a marketing ploy to get people to come back and play. My intuition is the latter

@RepDanCrenshaw While I don’t inherently take Iran at its word, I think it’s a near certainty that they tell the truth a larger % of the time than the Trump administration.

@WalshFreedom Yes but student loan providers and other entities are exploiting a generation of naive 18-year-olds and that needs to be addressed. Kids are told “you need to go to college to have a good life” and influenced into taking out debt. For-profit colleges are at fault as well.

If we’re not going to train dealers to enforce the “every hand must be shown in all-in pots” rule, can we just get rid of it? Always feel awkward about speaking up to enforce it as a player. I’d say dealers enforce ~10% of the time

This rule sucks and should be changed. Virtually every time this happens the player who accidentally exposes his hand hurts himself already. A penalty on top feels extra brutal, especially in a spot like this one. cc @SavagePoker @RayPulford

While I don’t always look forward to small talk about poker with people who don’t play poker, one thing that’s always been a joy to say is “I’ve played with Doyle Brunson!” when asked if I’ve played with anyone famous. I found his sharpness at his age to be incredible too. RIP
