@SpartanHoops_DK Umm legend is quite a stretch. he would have been a nice piece this season.

@cblezbets Does them winning last year have anything to do with them winning this year or no

@ACumbow @DanWolken No high profile coach has done less with more than Calipari. Now that every coach is allowed to pay players he's lost all of his value. Kentucky is the only place he wasn't run out of town for sanctions.
English
@DanWolken Nah. They were a 3 seed his last year at Kentucky. They got upset in the Tournament which happens.
I’m taking my chances betting on HOF coaches figuring it out. I know on social media it’s popular to say it was stale or a coach is washed and the game has passsd him by though.
English
This narrative is incorrect, IMO.
He got stale in his last few years at Kentucky and was not doing a good job. He needed a wake-up call and a fresh start. Status quo was not an option for either side. It was a good and necessary move for him.

How awesome is John Calipari? Kentucky running him out of town when they were never going to get an upgrade was such a mistake. Wonder if they wish they had him back. They can tell you no all they want, but those are two programs going in opposite directions.

@bordersroad did you watch boozer put his head down and ram into the Virginia center and get stuffed over and over again Saturday night?

One of the best points I’ve ever seen. What an incredible 3rd set

Father time has no idea what to do with Novak Djokovic 38 years old and still doing this shit is beyond ridiculous

Honestly think TILT is underrated (or maybe all but forgotten). It's been a long time since I've watched it but I remember the storyline being believable and the poker far from over the top. May be worth a rewatch soon.
Jeff Boski@ICuRaRook
In 2005 ESPN aired “TILT”. This poker series focused on the high stakes world of professional poker in Las Vegas. Created by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (known for Rounders and later Billions), the show features the tagline "You're playing poker. They're playing you." The plot centers on a group of young, ambitious poker players—led by characters like Eddie Towne (Eddie Cibrian), Clark Marcellin (Todd Williams), and Miami (Jennifer Ferrara)—who team up to take down the legendary and ruthless Don "The Matador" Everest (Michael Madsen), a veteran pro accused of cheating and other shady dealings. Set against a fictional World Championship of Poker tournament, the series explores themes of revenge, strategy, corruption, and the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas gambling, blending intense card games with personal drama and FBI involvement.

@Pat_Thorman Anybody that can think critically and logically can see that what the ravens did was very unethical. And yes nothing will happen and it will blow over. Just because there will be minimal to no consequences doesn’t change the ethics of it.
English
The Ravens did nothing wrong and this won’t meaningfully affect their reputation.

@DougPolkVids he may not be the best one to deliver the message but he isn't wrong

I have personally guaranteed that all player funds will be safe as this witch hunt from TABC plays out
You still allegedly owe tens of millions. Shut the fuck up
Tom Dwan@TomDwan
@DougPolkVids You made a lot of your brand out of going after people in times like this. I hope you can take a minute to reflect, and realize the negatives of some of those choices. Hope you do stuff like that less in the future.

I bet on sports every day. Bam scoring 83 means nothing to me. Didn’t even know it was happening until it was over. I went to Heat Pistons on Sunday because I’m a pistons fan but the NBA tanking has killed the sport for me. Indian Wells > Bam 83 vs Wiz who are trying to lose

@dwpoker @largebrandon Used your sheet for when I took my wife to Vegas for BSB in Feb. Good stuff thanks.

@largebrandon This is my best rec. My pinned sheet not updated since last WSOP but still relevant.

@CedricAPhillips @TuckonSports Butchers feast ($88/pp) is all you really need. Add a meat if you wanna try a cut and are feeling like you are ready to feast. My other recs have red marks by them but easy to over order. Obsessed with this spot. 9 visits in 2 months or so already

Going to Vegas next month for 40th birthday extravaganza. Need some @dwpoker food recs STAT.

@ForTheHorseshoe @gturn3796 Wasn’t Daniel jones a bargain bin deal last season?
English
@gturn3796 He went 8-1 with record setting offensive numbers before his leg then Achilles in our system. Bargain binning has reaped us ZERO success
English
Holy fuck let him walk. A few weeks of good football and this dude thinks he’s fucking Patrick Mahomes

Per @AlbertBreer, the #Colts offered QB Daniel Jones a contract similar to the one Sam Darnold signed with the Seahawks (3 years $100.5 million). Jones’s camp counter offered a deal which would pay him around $50 million per year.

@SamGreenwoodRIO @JasonKoon Live poker is a visual game. The only reasonable time to ask your opponent how much they are playing is if they are not stacked properly or visible. I don’t ever answer that question
English
Wrote about a poker hand where I did not ask @JasonKoon how much he was playing and won the max. I also wrote about the etiquette of asking “How much are you playing?” All in this week’s unlocked post

The Alec Pierce mind mold to him being a top 10 WR is one of the most baffling NFL stories in the last 10 years

@CardsMax @darrenrovell That tweet is literally what journalists do. Report something news worthy + relevant details. A very uncommon Rovell W here.
English
@darrenrovell You’re a journalist right?
Think about why someone would write the tweet’s final sentence after the one preceding it.
The narrative it implies wouldn’t be consistent of someone that enjoys or even sees any monetary value in collectable sports cards.
English
Reminder:
Darren Rovell owns ZERO cards

This is the top graded BGS 9 card, 10 auto of Tom Brady’s signed Playoff Contenders Championship Ticket. It is the highest of 7 that got a BGS 9/10. It sold tonight at @GoldinCo for $756,400. A BGS 9/10 with worse subgrades sold at Leland’s in June 2021 for $3.1 million.

@SurvivorAtlas Some sort of payout structure makes sense. 2k if you make it to thanksgiving, 20k if you make Xmas. I just made that up without much thought but you will lose the people you want to play if they just lose every year. A payout like that goes a long way.
English
Circa should add a true single-bullet survivor side event.
1 entry per person.
1 payee per entry.
It’s thrilling in a different way. Call it Lonedissimo Supremo or w/e.
More contests like the WSOP. Different psychologies.
Grandissimo showed there’s appetite for alternative formats. 69 entries at $100k is major validation. Broaden the ladder.
Yes, it slightly cannibalizes the world's premier Survivor contest. That’s fine.
The bigger a winner-take-all prize pool gets, the more organized capital it attracts. That’s the gravity of big money.
So the question becomes what kind of ecosystem you want.
If chops/swaps/deals aren’t part of the long-term vision for #CircaSurvivor, depth may matter more than pushing the flagship higher and higher.
Poker tournaments spreads the money out.
Survivor concentrates it.
That’s why depth of contests may matter more than just raising the headline number.
English
@SurvivorAtlas Some sort of payout structure for getting to certain weeks. 2k payout for making thanksgiving. 20k for making Xmas. Completely made that up but winner take all for a contest this big doesn’t make sense. Eventually the people you want to play will stop playing and the contest dies

@max_silver And he didn’t have info just trying to trick you into settling?
English
@max_silver I don’t fully understand what happened. Over the course of the month, liquidity expanded and the price moved against you which caused you to be nervous? The trader betting against you reached out and offered to settle your positions claiming insider info?
