She seems to have a few overly supportive obvious trollbots too which don’t do her any favours.

Speaking of which, welcome to my Ignore List “WiseBeyondYears” and James C K.

Oh and btw the same guy who colluded live and rushes to his solver software to accuse others of cheating would never use that solver software online, lol.

If you lay out all the facts on the table, there’s way more evidence that Foxen is a scum bag cheater than Ali is (though honestly I think most likely case is they all cheat). But somehow Foxen escapes all the heat while Bryn and Ali get branded.

I really see no other explanation than it’s a popularity contest. And this idea we’re going to make this “council” that keeps poker clean and honest will be a joke as long as a players popularity is an input variable to the decision.

So yes I’m rooting for Ali / Bryn for sure as long as it triggers all the hypocrites that their not getting their hypocritical ways.
I've heard that both Ali and Bryn are involved in curated games.

gotta give credit to Hawkins. I flipped with him a ton and he always took the largish flips. Guess that's easy if it aint your money. Happily spending said money right now on a vacay. Thanks, backers!

Torelli and Racener.

I secretly root for Torelli. He's so awkwardly douchy and probably a bit of an angler but I don't know if the crime of hiding big chips was really as severe as the reputational damage it did to him. Currently 10th in chips with 77 left in the main.

Racener currently 42nd. Not really rooting for him though. The whole scamming the dude in the blackjack game story really soured me on him.

I kind of like seeing any big name pros going deep in the main though.

This is the dumbest poker take I've heard in a long time.
I sense you're referring to Foxen in the final 3 with his (now) wife. They are a team in life, in poker, and in finances - to say "collusion" and "that makes me want to cheer for other cheaters even more" makes you sound like a complete donut (you double down by using 'lol' - please stop doing so if you're entering an adult conversation).

Phil Hellmuth I just love to see that guy win.

I rooted against Dnegs for years but then I became wiser and decided I like him.

I rooted against Greg Merson also for a while, because he check-raised me once.
