Huge fan of Tonkaaaap who I find to be one of the most entertaining Twitch streamers behind JCarver, Kevin Martin and Jaime Staples. I think this guy is a huge asset for the Twitch Poker community. I watch his streams on a regular basis and I think he's a natural streamer. I do think however once he started accepting stakes from his viewers that his play started to deteriorate thus the start of all the dramatic degen plays. But hey all power to him for getting his gullible viewers to buy pieces of him @ -EV mark ups. That's neither here nor there and its not the reason I created this thread.
It appears Parker Talbot aka Tonkaaaap did something really stupid and its really a crying shame because I'm a big fan. Now I don't know the exact details surrounding this incident except that he either closed his twitter account or he got banned from twitter. I'm thinking its the latter because he tweeted and then deleted the tweet and apologized for it. Here's a cached version of his Twitter account with his last tweet before closure:
As a avid follower and a viewer who's even donated to him I hope he didn't do something stupid. If Tonkaaaa's tweet was in any way offensive and I'll be the judge of that myself then he's lost a viewer and follower. There's not many Twitch streams I actively avoid save for WCGRider, DBoyd, Hellmuth. I just hope Tonkaaaap clarifies this situation for all of his subscribers and loyal Twitch followers.
I would be grateful if anyone could post what Tonkaaap tweeted. If it was racist, misogynistic, hateful in any way, shape or form I'm going to expose him. These are not the kinds of people poker players should support and look up to.
