Only one good player at my table and he's on my immediate left. If I build a pile, should be clear sailing for a while
Would have been Tristan Wade.

Also, pokernews has been a huge fail. I read one update where they named some player said he was against an "unknown". I looked this player up because I had no fucking clue who they were talking about, guy had like 700 dollars in tournament winnings. Why even report this?

Then when Druff took over Phil Ivey's seat the update was only "Some other player is sitting in Phil Ivey's seat so he must be out."

Now granted he was, but you went from listing some totally unknown player's name in an update to neglecting that it was Druff in the seat?

Also, they've been notorious so far for this whole "well they're not in the seat anymore so...busto." I noticed they did this with Norman Chad, when Norman Chad was in fact still in.

They also are updating like once every 20 minutes sometimes and the only thing they'll report is chip counts. Even if you only have 1 person working on this, you have like 400 tables to pick something from. Why is it so hard for them to update?

Pokernews = fail. This has always been true, but this year it's significantly worse than the prior years.
I don't blame Pokernews for not knowing me anymore.

I don't play tournaments outside of the WSOP, and my only significant finish since 2009 was the 2010 88th place at the Main Event -- and even there I did it kind of quietly and was never the focus of the action.

Most of the Pokernews reporters are young kids who were still in high school when I had my big run in 2005.
