@SavagePoker Folks are earning a living wage and we are out here gambling my friend

@DylanLinde For a buffet I figured that was the high end?

How much do you tip on a $99.95 brunch buffet where the food and service is excellent!

@Jbex2417 Obviously a strong man get what h deserves and moves on

I wonder what happens here? #WhenWillitEnd

@apestyles The only disrespectful play is a mega hero fold

Hero calls get called disrespectful but it's the opposite. A hero call says "I think you can bluff here." A big fold says "I know you can't."

@KevinMacphee @anishmoonka She was right the whole time

The research behind this is wild. Your kitchen sponge has the same density of bacteria as human stool. German scientists found 54 billion bacterial cells per cubic centimeter inside used sponges in 2017. Yours is sitting right next to your sink. Sponges are the perfect home for bacteria. They are wet, warm, full of food bits, and never fully dry between washes. Across all 14 sponges, the team found 362 different types of bacteria. The most common species include strains that can make people sick. In 2011, the public health group NSF International swabbed 30 things in 22 American homes. The dirtiest object in the entire house was the kitchen sponge. It was dirtier than the toilet seat. 75% of the sponges tested positive for the kind of bacteria that includes Salmonella and E. coli. Microwaving does not clean the sponge. The 2017 study found microwaved sponges had higher amounts of the smelliest, most harmful bacteria. Heat kills the weak strains. The strong ones survive and refill the sponge with no competition for space. A 2021 Norwegian study compared kitchen sponges to dish brushes. In brushes, Salmonella was wiped out within three days because the bristles dry out between uses. In sponges, bacteria climbed to about a billion cells per sponge. The lead researcher told CNN that one kitchen sponge can hold more bacteria than there are people on Earth. Three things actually work. Switch to a dish brush, because brushes dry fully between uses while sponges stay wet for hours. Replace your sponge every one to two weeks. Never leave it sitting wet in the sink. Norway and Denmark already do this by default, but most other countries don't. The detergent is fine. Your sponge is the problem.

@jsmith84poker @jeffplatt @WSOP Strange how we landed on the same nickname

@DylanLinde @jeffplatt @WSOP Terribly** autocorrect accidentally changed that to Terriboy, my nickname for @jeffplatt

Our Dealer Rating System is coming to Vegas! Using the new Dealer Rating System on WSOP Live… • Players can rate the dealer at their table • Ratings are shared internally with tournament staff • Dealers with the highest ratings will earn rewards throughout the series @jeffplatt and the rest of Team WSOP are excited to recognize and reward great dealers at the WSOP. Shuffle up and deal!

@jsmith84poker @jeffplatt @WSOP And maybe this helps

@jsmith84poker @jeffplatt @WSOP Let’s be real. The prevailing issue with WSOP has never been the worst getting fired, it’s the best quitting due to work conditions/compensation.

@jsmith84poker @jeffplatt @WSOP This is certainly the best case scenario.

@DylanLinde @jeffplatt @WSOP The ratings are internal, so it's not like you're gonna see your dealer rating like an Uber driver or a Yelp score. The idiots who give bad scores because of runouts or whatever else will all just be noise, and the very best and very worst dealers will become clear to them.

@fitzpoker @WSOP @jeffplatt Perhaps, my long experience with the WSOP player pool is that the negative is typically highlighted and the positive is “expected”

@DylanLinde @WSOP @jeffplatt Accountability usually equates to improvement Rewarding good work usually creates better work Asking the customer how the business is doing is standard business… not sure how this is “cruel” Id call it way overdue

@Pikhaak1 Yup, live to play anything 1k -> 50k.

@DylanLinde So all the 10k mixed games are involved as well?

@DylanLinde Hi Dylan, I was wondering if you could share your plans for the WSOP this year schedule wise. Are you going to play what’s on Pokerstake or will u be playing a full schedule of events including mixed games? Asking for fantasy 🔥

@jeffplatt @WSOP I hope so, the problem I see is that it’ll turn out like rating a dentist. People expect proficiency and only circle back to leave negative feedback.

@DylanLinde @WSOP I get that. I think it’s designed more to elevate the good dealers (since we know so many low ratings can be more emotionally influenced)

@VanessaSelbst Anima, Palette Tea Lounge, Tamba, Stubborn Seed

What are some new restaurants in Las Vegas worth checking out? Preferably kid-friendly but really whatever. So out of the loop!

@Stapes @PokerStars @PokerStarsUSA You’ll be missed man. So many good memories listening to Poker Road early on in my career and so many awkward ones from crossing paths later on 😁

Given the state of the world, it feels selfish to try to make any particular day about myself, but it’s never really stopped me before, so I’m afraid I’ve got some bittersweet news to deliver: EPT Monte Carlo 2026 will be my last event with PokerStars.

@Smackems818 He said he can’t pay. In general I’m sympathetic towards folks who bad things happen to and can’t pay a debt. The problem is when months of obfuscation occur.

@DylanLinde could we get more context on what he said when he said he isnt paying you the rest? thanks @DylanLinde

1/x I deeply regret doing business with David Peters. Last summer David purchased a piece of the 50k plo WSOP that I won. I paid him out a large amount, in cash, a couple days later. A few months later I’m at Triton Jeju and David buys a piece of my two main events (nl & plo)

6/6 Since this began I’ve found out about other bad debts and bad business deals, so I feel obligated to make this public.

5/x He then sends $12k and change, saying he will get the rest. The end of February comes and I’m convinced to give him another month. April 1st he sends me 15k and says he cannot pay the remaining balance.
