Ever overbet the turn with a set on QJT9 with a flush draw? A great episode of @thinkingpoker daily explains why you should.
English
@tuddiesFTW @rumnchess That’s electronics at the table. At least how I understand what @rumnchess is suggesting.
English
I’d be a fan of a full ban of electronics at the poker table. Sounds extreme, but with tech advancements, full ban seems cleanest. Would be great socially too, making the playing experience more fun & faster. Logistics would be tough but doable. Chess has been there for years

@stevemjr20 @nut_history Rolen is clearly deserving of the Hall. Only 18 3d basemen in, and he is about 10th among them. Try Pie Traynor or George Kell.
English
Name three players that should be in the Baseball Hall of Very Good instead of Baseball Hall of Fame

@jeremyausmus This is exactly what I do. For amateurs you will likely notice a much better return in the lower stuff.
English
It would definitely be really interesting to see the ROIs of a lot of pros in poker. But something that would be even more interesting would be a buyin return per entry number. A number like that normalizes the buy-ins so if someone ran really good at high stakes or vice versa that would get teased out. Instead of return on investment, it's their return on entries. A lot of poker players don't keep good records tho and this number even less keep, I'm sure (although easy to figure out with a spreadsheet if they have all their data). Naturally this number is lower the higher stakes someone plays so it's not perfect either. But everyone wants to know who the actual best players are and this would give us a clearer picture of that.

@llewisspencer @daraokearney 1 star ratings should require a brief explanation why they are getting dinged.
English
This has so many problems I cannot even fit them into a single tweet, but nobody should be okay with a dealer not getting rewarded compared to their colleagues because they dealt a disproportionate amount of coolers to people in the seniors tournament or the colossus or whatever.
WSOP - World Series of Poker@WSOP

Shuffle up and deal!

@incarceratedbob The postscript to this HR was that Camp then gave up 5 runs the next inning, but the Braves rallied and he came to the plate as the tying run the next inning...and struck out.

Classic John Sterling 🎙️
July 4 - 5, 1985 | Mets at Braves “Rick Camp Game”
“That certifies this game as the wackiest, wildest, most improbable game in history!” - John Sterling
English
@tangotiger Just for kicks, I looked at Rube Waddell. Didn't start out great, but for 2 years (04-05) he had 631Ks out of 2534 PAs, in a time when players did not strike out like they do today.
English
Ohtani has 712 career strikeouts, facing 2284 batters
Since 1969 (and I can confidently say since forever), that is the highest number for a starting pitcher to start a career
English
@loonybird2 @dklappin @daraokearney @pokerorg To stop stalling? Seems pretty simple. Let’s agree to disagree.
English
@Three4Three @dklappin @daraokearney @pokerorg Because I disagree with the premise that there is something unethical/illegal about using time chips for stalling in order to get a pay jump. Also, without time chips, the bustout occurs at the end of the hand, not the start. Why should it be different w/time chips?
English
IMO if you get time banks, you should be able to use them however you want.
How will this be enforced? Are we going to have TDs looking at player’s holdings and deciding whether or not they had a tough spot? If so, that would be a ridiculous overstep.

@FarmerFigs @BBGreatMoments Teaching moment for the pitcher. He covers home and nothing happens.
English
@BBGreatMoments Bush league but also a teaching moment for the catcher, stand at home plate with the ball and ask for time. The umpire will get tired of it and walk over to tell the coach to teach his runner not to bait. We don't wanna be here all day waiting for him to go back to the bag.
English
@PokerJermz If you are playing at a table where TT is zero EV, you need to find a different game.
English
Would you actually play like a solver at the casino?
UTG 8-handed (200bb deep)
99 = fold
K5s = open pure
Is K5s really making more money than 99 here?

@tonydunsttv @adamlevitan Billy Eisenberg World Champion in both Backgammon and Bridge.
English
@adamlevitan Was thinking about this during the broadcast: where does this rank in terms of two sport accomplishments? (Or two game if you don’t buy poker is a sport)
English
Former Patriots and Raiders DT Richard Seymour has some legit results in poker tournaments, including yesterday. Has to be one of the best ex-athletes.

@joebeevers @daraokearney If I am wearing a hat or hoodie that has anything that can be construed as a promotion I can get disqualified?
English
Anyone going to the WSOP this year needs to be aware of new rules. Including the need to register & obtain approval, for any logos over 24 hours before the start of any event. Not ideal if you only find out you are on a TV table an hour before!
Also stuff like swapping action could theoretically land you in trouble.
PokerListings@PokerListings
The @WSOP just changed its 2026 rules. And the poker community isn't happy. Here's what's new 👇 Prop bets, action swaps, last longers — all now potentially banned under a new third-party payment rule. Violate it? Forfeit everything. WSOP decides what counts. Sponsorship patches at TV tables now need written approval 24 hours in advance. No approval = instant disqualification. The problem: players never know which table goes on camera. Is the WSOP protecting the game — or overstepping? Full breakdown on PokerListings — pokerlistings.com/news/is-the-ti… #WSOP #WSOP2026 #PokerNews #OnlinePoker #PokerCommunity

@Limit_Financial @spida2Ybanana @FDSportsbook I just saw a Mike Trout tweet here the other day. Thinking he might do ok.
English
@spida2Ybanana @FDSportsbook Seems obviously wrong. You don’t think any recently retired mlb players, anyone in the minor leagues, any D1 baseball player etc. hasnt stumbled along this tweet.
You’re insane if you think that in 100 pitches that a kid on like LSU isn’t going to put the ball in play.
English
Would you rather...
A. Be given $50,000 right now
B. Have 100 pitches to hit a HR off of Paul Skenes for $100 million

@Kevmath In an event with time banks just base the bust out on when the hand starts not ends…
