I inadvertently deleted a post a little while ago. Fortunately, through the magic of Google, I was able to find a cached copy of it. Hadn't ever thought of Google as a backup engine before...
Anyway, here's the post:
The whole poker world on tilt
I really enjoyed this Jesse May blog entry:
Is there anybody out there that is under the illusion that some of the best poker in the world is being played in the Rio this year? I mean, there's a story about Barry Greenstein playing two tournaments at once, sprinting back and forth between tables between hands like some kind of bearded clown balancing a seal on his nose. Barry Greenstein? Ace on the river, spotlight on me, and prop bets galore Barry Greenstein? The man who only a few years ago was on top of a lamppost demanding that he be recognized as the professionals' professional? Running around the room like a clown? Dare I say it, on tilt?
It suffers from a tad bit of "rosy retrospection", but I think it is required reading for every poker player and WSOP staffer.
