I am rooting for Mike Dentale purely because I think he is more real. He may or may not be or have done some of the things that some people are alleging, I don't know, I haven't got a clue and I don't really care.
This is a game of poker, it is not a kindergarten, it is not humanitarian in any way, nor does it on the whole contribute much or anything that is positive to society. Poker is a gambling subculture, it is not supposed to be nice, it is dog eat dog.
Cate Hall may be a wonderful human being, who knows, but for me when she is in the poker arena she is no better or worse than any other parasite (myself included when I am playing poker) that is trying to feed off of the rotting flesh of weaker players, punting players or tilted players.
This is why what she projects on Twitter is not real, because in my opinion you can not be a full time poker playing parasite and at the same time claim to be a philanthropist and do-gooder who takes/claims the moral high ground on every issue.
Sorry to break the bad news. The two are incompatible. And I don't just apply this to Cate Hall, I apply it to every other pro poker player out there who has appointed themselves as a paragon of virtue, and furthermore then banged on about it on social media. Frankly, it is all BS on their part.
So I would like to see Mike Dentale win, regardless of who is the "nicer" person.
