I think we should have a thread dedicated to the obligatory bitching and moaning from the poker pro's on Twitter. Last year's three biggest whiners were Jason Mercier, John Monette, and John Aguilar. This year we start off with some whining from Dan Smith only a couple hours into the first day, followed by Jason Mercier expressing some dissatisfaction with the luxury hotel he chose, and finally some more long line whining from Brian Hastings.

Should be a fun summer!

@dansmithholla Even with months to prepare, the @WSOP is run unbelievably terribly. Incredibly embarrassing, registration just is not moving

@dansmithholla @WSOPTD it took me 90 minutes to register today. Most counters were closed and the ones that were open were very slow. Totally unacceptable

@JasonMercier Apparently vdara doesn't know what blackout shades are supposed to do. Cant sleep... Changing hotels pic.twitter.com/1wSPeTshqW

@brianchastings Still looking at this line for #WSOP2 5k NL after 15 minutes in line @ Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino http://instagram.com/p/Z6ltXMLdEd/

More like the World Series of people telling it like it is amirite

These are 1st World Problems that other poor countries can' relate to.

Buncha babies. "Gee, my blackout shades aren't quite dark enough. Let me bitch about it to the world. Oh yeah I had to wait in line also WTF????!!!!1!1!1!!!"

#WorldSeriesOfLineWaiting is a thing now apparently

lol.. this is a great idea for a thread..

The two guys on the biggest tourney heaters of recent memory and a man who ran 3 million over allin ev in one session are managing to find something in their lives to bitch about

may even change the way people use twitter.

Yes, I'm sure people will stop bitching about the absolutely awful run WSOP after someone puts one of their tweets in a 2p2 thread.

add this


Jason Mercier ‏@JasonMercier 9h
Min bet 10k Don't have time for small stuff

I feel like the few examples being shown ITT are reasonable complaints. If I paid for blackout curtains, then I expect to have blackout curtains. I don't find this to be unreasonable. Taking my complaints to twitter is suspect, I feel they should try to resolve their complaints in person first, but maybe they have.

As for the lines, comon, the WSOP has done this for years, they should have it figured out by now.

We as a whole just hate seeing people with money bitch about anything.

great thread for sure

Yah because they shouldn't bitch about anything. Unless someone close to them died.

People who characterize reasonable complaints as whining are almost universally pathetic dbags.

Also, @WSOPTD is a huge piece of **** and deserves any and all criticism directed at him.

NO it is whining, these are not reasonable complaints. There are people out there without running water and ample amounts of food for the day. If they don't like the WSOP then don't play. These guys are very selfish to act as though I care about their little personal problems.

No blackout shades in my room at Vdara, better call the Waaaammmbulance!!! I feel so sorry for him, poor guy.

Level?

Horton, give us your Twitter handle so we can get some more material for this thread please.

No, he's right

If complaining about a 90-minute registration line is whining (when there is so much suffering in the world, of course), how would one classify starting or posting in a poker message board thread to complain about those complaints? Humanitarian work?

I do admire the remarkable sense of proportion of those who never complain about anything less than serious illness or the death of a loved one, because others in the world are hungry.

and so it has begun

Those people are too stupid to know what you said tho.

I will take a piss on their faces so they have a legit complaint.

If you don't care about them or their personal problems why follow them on twitter? I know if I was playing in a bunch of tournaments that were costing me hundreds of thousands of dollars I'd want to be able to sleep when I had to, and not be kept awake by some crappy curtains.
