    That chick Marle claims that the poker in Vegas is really good right now because a lot of the good players are afraid to go to the casino and play.

    Marle is young so I guess she isn't afraid of COVID, which makes sense.

    Unfortunately I'm one of those pros who is afraid to show up, so I won't benefit from this.

    Marle has the unfortunate habit of talking a big game but having no spine.

    I am doubtful of this claim. It’s been my experience that the majority of poker pros are degenerates with little regard for their physical health. I think they aren’t playing because the cash ain’t in town. Period.

    I'm not allowed to say much, but I was there for most of the taping and can confirm there are some insane hands this season.

    I don't think the set recaptures the same cozy "feel" of classic HSP (it clearly is a soundstage), but the stakes are big and the lineups are great. Rick Salomon in particular really juices up a game.

    Rick Salomon isn't broke? That's pretty amazing.

    I've heard "things" about where he gets his money.

    Since it's all the rage to sue me nowadays for things I write on this site, I'll leave it at that.

    I will say that a rich old dude I played with at the 2018 WSOP told me that he hated playing with Rick because "he turns games too big". This was a really wealthy guy who played the One Drop and other huge events, and had a girlfriend in her 20s, but even he had his limits. The problem was that people would show up to the game and play at stakes they felt comfortable with, and then Rick would make everything play so much bigger with all his aggression.

    part of being post restricted is the inability to post quality content
    as it becomes available.
