What are "things"? you mean like living?

I can see 6 showers in a week if you are just never exercising or getting laid. But it's kinda disgusting if you are walking around all day and haven't showered in like 48-72 hours. I'm all for sensible use of water or whatever environmental concerns, but cmon.

Also, why is it always the really smelly people that think they are in the clear w 3 showers a week? Clearly that strat isn't working and you need to find some balance in your shower game.

As a player,no he is actually very good.

As a person,who cares?He is a grown adult who has every right to do whatever he wants (within the laws ofc).

It's a bit pathetic that you are upset about another man,who you most probably never met irl,"not showering" or making his OWN twitter account private.

If these are the problems of your life,then maybe you should think through things a bit...

No one knows or remembers them, the unwashed masses just want to know how much is "up top".
Do recreational players even follow the WSOP these days? They killed it when they stopped broadcasting the first couple of days of the main event.

i like my privacy and boy i would hate to give interviews, but his behaviour reflects what's wrong with so many players.
If i won id hide in my new snowbird Hawaiian tiny house. No twitter or interviews and if the humans bugged me to much i wouldn't defend. I would take showers and tip...no tipping ****s should go get their own damn drinks and stop subsiding off of tippers.

i don't want to sound like an old fart, but it's not about a 2nd boom, it's about winning the most prestigious event (in the eyes of the main stream media) and if you want it or not, you're the in-official king of poker and for at least one year people will recognize you and you should be professional enough to handle it in a better way.

having said that, he is not even close to be the worst me winner in the last 20 years ...
He sounds like an ass from what ive read. But my main point is i dont think it makes much differences bringing new money into poker or even growing the wsop.

Hell i could see some recs getting in because of the hate. like the op....knock him out. WWF had its heels, pokers got em...use em.

Do you at least understand why it takes them 30 minutes to get your drink then?

I believe the summer before Joe won the main event, he won or went deep in a major tournament for a high 6 figures score. We had a group text thing set up to organize mid/high mixed games at Parx, and Joe was in the group.

After his big score, I was excited that we would hopefully be picking up a new player with a newfound bunch of money who didn't play mixed games all that well. But the ****er would always send messages saying he was coming to play today, or tomorrow, or whenever, and then would never show up.

****ing guy.

My second theory is that Joey Mac is dissing us because he knows that we were all pulling for DNegs. Some people are very good at sensing that kind of thing.

No, they "killed" it when they let players tank every decision.

24 second shot clock or a hot woman winning is its only hope.

Zero obligation to "promote" or be any kind of face/representative for poker. So imo he can be as big of a douche as he wants. Owes us and poker nothing

How is this good for poker and more importantly why aren't the higher ups that run the World Series doing anything?

Again think about it, in an age that most high profile poker players tweet regularly, our main event 'champion' blocks his account!! Just disgraceful and embarrassing.

Thoughts?
come on now. he can do whatever he pleases with his social media accounts and it's none of your business.

Part 1 is correct.
Part 2 makes you a piece of sh*t.
To sum it up....you are a half correct piece of sh*t

It can be argued that not everyone needs to shower every day. That some people, maybe even a majority, if not doing strenuous activities making them sweat and dirty, would benefit from not showering every day. When you shower you are stripping away your bodies natural protection layer. The oils protect you from bacteria, fungal infection, among other things. Its like anything that relates to human anatomy, it depends on how you respond. If you sweat and create BO easily, you might need to shower more often than some one who doesn't. But its not as simple as everyone needs to shower every day.

Personally I shower just about every day, with the exceptions being the days where Im being super lazy and hanging around the house. But its more of a routine thing than a cleanliness thing.
