Yeeesh, who the hell is xoxoxo??

I've been generally avoiding this thread ever since Daniel and Amanda got back together because I knew I'd have to sift through a bunch of idiotic posts about her. So props to xoxo for being that idiot. Amanda was literally the first "big name" I met in poker after having only watched the game on TV for years. Couldn't have been nicer.

It's sort of funny that Amanda married a guy who is generally considered by the casual fandom as a poker ambassador, when she was (and I guess still is) the genuinely friendly face at the game's front door for much of the same span.

damn, she looks young.

poker used to be so exciting, fun and mysterious...those were the days

Dutch Boyd confirmed colossal scumbag, as if further confirmation were needed.

Danny Negreanu WSOP Package already Sold Out.
dam

Well of course, all but the highstakes one were a steal obviously no matter what you think of him
before the sweat value even

Looks like the shares selling was a clusterf*** and sold way more than intended.

All three packages sold out in three minutes but stayed on sale way longer, so a lot of people have bought a piece that isn't available

Massive software glitch! Apparently all packages sold out within minutes but software allowed continued sales for another 30 minutes.

Sold more than the entire buy-in amount.

They are working on full refunds for most of us and Daniel is going to pay the $60,000 or so in fees.

I thought I had $50 in the low, $200 in the mid, and $400 in the high but I'm sure I wasn't within the first few minutes so will be getting a refund.

Bummer!

lol, what a ****show. Glad I avoided it.

Rich guy gets married
Invades social media
Tweets wife’s love of c0ck

ya, ez pass. fo sho.

It will be great for the seller, unless he cashes.

Getting married to anyone with that much money is some of the highest stakes s*** I've ever seen.

Should I make a "Marriage/Divorce EV Graph" in excel for ya'll?

55% (higher depending on which stats you use) of marriages end in divorce. 8 out of 10 divorces initiated by the women. 9 out of 10 if the woman is college educated. Static Brain, a think tank, asses a marriage to have a 6.6% chance hitting the 10 year mark. Your marriage has a risk of divorce of 45%, that's PER YEAR.
When you get divorced, men usually pay for the woman's attorney's fees in addition to alimony and child support. If you have kids, you can expect to pay 47% of your yearly income in child support and alimony. For every dollar collected in child support by the state, the state is reimbursed $12 by the federal government. Thus leading to men receiving 4 days of parenting custody a month and women receiving 27 days automatically. Can't collect child support if men have 50-50 custody...

Scary stuff. The women you marry on your wedding day is a different women in divorce court. And in divorce court, the cards are stacked against you. Just read up on the Deluth Model and Title IV D sometime...

It's confirmed that Daniel Negreanu will make a guest appearance on Mike Matusow's The Mouthpiece Podcast today.

Your divorce stats make no sense. How can 55% of marriages end in divorce yet these numbers also be true:

45% chance of divorce EACH Year
Only 6% of marriages make it 10 years.

Only one of these 3 numbers you stated can be correct. Please learn math.

New pool of people getting married each year.
Serial divorcees, people in their 4th/5th marriages etc.
Math can be correct when you account for variables not considered.

~50% of Marriages may end in divorce, doesn't mean 50% of married people get divorced, again serial marriage then divorce crowd.

TheFly is correct. Data is a tricky subject. However most basic data is taken from the 2010 Census. A new census in 2020 will be use then.

Some data is taken from other sources that have data of their own. You should be able to find almost all the data I referenced in the following video. Maybe after you watch it, we can throw a maths party together.

Negreanu tweeted that they sold/received over $1.8 mil in under 30 mins before they realized there was a software issue and it actually insta soldout within 1 min lol

(1.8m sold for 2.75k worth of action / 7-800k of buyins)

he said he refunded them all and ate the fees up to $60k potentially

I have no way of knowing what divorce stats are, but saying the by the maths ..."only one of those numbers can be correct" sounds off .... did you consider

% that end in homicide ?
% that end in suicide ?
Multiple marriages and divorces within 6 years ?

Virtually none of your post is true. For example, child support is usually maxed out at around 10,000 a year per child and the man pays the corresponding percentage to couples total income. Its nowhere near 47%.

Those are both ridiculous statistics.

Divorce rates have been dropping for decades.

About 70 percent of marriages that began in the 1990s reached their 15th anniversary (excluding those in which a spouse died), up from about 65 percent of those that began in the 1970s and 1980s. Those who married in the 2000s are so far divorcing at even lower rates. If current trends continue, nearly two-thirds of marriages will never involve a divorce, according to data from Justin Wolfers, a University of Michigan economist.

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/02/u...-lives-on.html

The divorce rate for people who married in the 2000s was only at 15%.

Using anecdotal evidence, it sure doesn't seem like many people are divorcing.

This thread sucks now. Bring back the poker tars convo

Dutch is currently playing Event #1 of the WSOP. The Casino Employees event.
