LOL. humantrash (tm)

I think so, according to his facebook, he's single. Though watching the video where he got kicked out of Choctaw Casino, they seem perfect for each other. Although I guess she could've just dumped him after he really started upping the cringe.

Do you know why he got fired from the firm he worked at?

THESE GENTLEMEN AREN'T EVEN WEARING TUXEDOS TO THE CASINO. MY WORD

I'm an accountant myself based in CA, which firm?

+1, top notch post.

also, though Joey was leaving the decision up to viewers - he made it pretty clear that he had serious reservations about hashtag's behavior.

When you get fired from a job as an accountant does your boss call you into their office
and tell you "I'm sorry but your number is up".

Look Dentale, you were acting like a Dentist at that table and not a Mikey.

Your the meathead guy. You are the Gun Show! We could've had Weakling WCG in the tanktop, but no, we had you in the wifebeater.

So when **** like calling women ugly breaks out, You are the enforcer! Verbally or Physically your choice!!

No. It's a professional setting, that's rubbing salt in the wound.

Okay maybe that's the way in accountancy, but if you get fired from a job as a lyricist surely your boss would call you into their office and say "Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more".

You win internets on 4-24 with that poetic justice.

Brandon Cantu is such a miserable person right now in his life. His reasoning for wanting to commentate the million dollar HU match goes like this:

1. "I want to see my friends suffer"
2. "The world wants to see them suffer"

Brandon Cantu, if you're out there reading this, please go find something fun to do in life.

1. When someone insults your family/mom/wife/whatever, they're doing so to get a rise out of you. The way you beat that is you realize that it doesn't matter what some lowlife moron whose crowning achievement in life is getting to be on a stream like this losing money in a game he sucks at, and then you ignore him.

2. People are still acting like 2p2 is some secret club. Literally everyone who has ever played a hand of poker as a professional, rec, or somewhere in between has heard of it and most have read it at some point. NVG is by far the forum most frequented by recs. This topic is at 23k views. I would bet some people who had never even heard of PINA heard about it due to this thread and watched it. That by itself means it was a pretty good business decision to have this trainwreck of a human being on their show. Although idk if it's really negative or positive. When people see an episode of jersey shore (or Joey's podcast) are they more or less likely to go to the beaches in Jersey?

I'd say it was a 1-time positive. He set an example of what NOT to do.

Having played with Solomon years back he was quite and seemed like a nice guy. He looks like he has gained a lot of weight and switched personalities. This might be a mental illness in my opinion, in which case I hope he gets the help he needs.

Hey Doug, huge fan here. You got an extra big blind off me because I bought a bad reg shirt after seeing you on stream. I will wear with 0% irony and 100% pride.

It is. He snapped. After he got canned at work he developed the personna. I don't think it was so much about poker at that point, but he pretty much documented his life through snapchat. I heard a story that he was in a synagogue for the holidays and a rabbi had to tell him to put his phone away; he was acting like he was at a club or something. Very weird. I'm talking like 500 snapchats a day. Everyday.

Some guys just want to express themself.

He periscoped himself getting kicked out, due to someone calling Bellagio and stating he was suicidal. Apparently his girlfriend has disappeared as well. Just a train wreck.

From gobbo boy twitter.

Didn't take a picture but Solomon ponte just got escorted out by metro from Bobby's room when he sat down and refused to leave.

this is why mtt s will always be the lifeblood of poker

In addition to losing at least a million dollars into the poker economy playing tournaments, Kessler is always johnny on the spot with the latest gossip.

Respect to you, chainsaw.

Sorry Doug, can you further explain your Argument why saying you looked at your Cards when you (may) didn't is anyhow an Angle?
I stumbled upon this part but didnt look the whole thing and may missed something.
First, isn't it your responsibility to be aware and look what the player did or did not?
It may be unethical in a very friendly homegame, but how is it in any casino setting?
Second, how is that different from any other lie about your Hand(including a Bluff) or tabletalk?
Third, Isn't it the case that you want to take advantage of him raising blind by 3betting light and therefore want to know if his statement is true?
So he says he didn't look which might or might not be true, if true he puts himself in disadvantage, if not true he (tries to)put himself in advantage, but in both cases, it only will apply if you also want to take advantage of him.
If this is not your Intention, you just could ignore his statement, like any other tabletalk, and play your hand accordingly.It would be either good, or bad(aka angling) for you, just neutral, so no reason to speak up on it.
Further on just try to see if he has any pattern with raising blind, if he really does look at his cards or not, if he does it with random or specific(premium) hands only.If you spot a pattern, exploit it.Just like he does try to do with you with this kindergarten trick.
If you don't spot any pattern or don't want to, cause you play gto and are not into that, just ignore it.
So, IMO, either your logic isn't correct here, he tries to exploit as you do, or it LOOKS like you are just turn things around and say he's angling while IMO you are angling(socially kinda^^) You try to get the truth out of him and want to know what to do, so you are angling yourself by accusing him of angling, because, as stated, otherwise his statement of raising blind is just neutral to you and not worth a single argument.
Besides that, he is a clown, you are not

Just saw on his Snapchat his Canadian pasaport is ripped apart lol probably borrowed money and used his passport as security and lost the money
