Daniel Negreanu
“Re: WSOP main event payouts. I agree strongly that flatter payouts are more important than guaranteeing a $10 mill 1st prize.. Make the WSOP final table, become a millionaire.”Better tag line then “Beat 8000 players, win $10 million.” Easier sell guys it’s not close.”

“Pulled old Coogi Sweater out for Xmas. Reminded me Notorious BIG lyric “Livin better now, Coogi Sweater now.. moby.to/3re7w9 .. PIC: Holiday photo of my 10 year old father (circa 1947) on a real horse drawn sleigh in Palos Park w his family.”
Gavin Smith
“At my home game wearing my awesome @phil_hellmuth hat, and my Wisconsin shirt, it must be Hellmuth tribute night!” (https://twitter.com/olegsmith)
Jimmy Fricke
“The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, birds fly south in the winter, and poker players complain about pocket jacks. Never change.”
Jennifer Tilly
“I was going to give up poker for the New Year. Sadly it’s still 2014. @farshadfardad”
Jean-Robert Bellande
“A special merry Christmas to all my haters and fans. We’ve had a roller coaster of a year. Great things in 2015 #broketorichliving.. 5 min after getting felted, a fan hooked me up with this one-off JRB edition cheering me right up #brokeonthebottle http://t.co/4FpTMJxFbw.. Thank you @Johnhayne Very cool gift”
Shaun Deeb
“Lost a bunch at turningstone today but did get to witness a guy call security on His significant other and then she got kicked out”
Kathy Liebert
“I was happy to get in the money @BellagioPoker I won’t back to play there. Terrible to have rail so close to players. Fail.. I will be playing less WPT Events in the future. I hope they make improvements because players environment is important.. I mean they would rather put us next to the rail where player talk and smoke is annoying and disturbing …Failed.. Because they think fans being able to watch the action close up is more important than the players who bought in for 10k? @bellegiopoker.”
Kara Scott
“In a random restaurant in a random Italian city, the people at different tables talk, make eye contact & exchange greetings & stories.. Beautifully dressed man in his 60s at the next table apologizes for intruding on a romantic meal but wants to know who we are.. Wants to know where we’re from and why we’re there. He buys us a drink from his family to ours to say welcome. (I love this country).. And then, as we pay the bill, the staff present us with yet another drink (Stay! Stay a while!) and I am drunk & in love with Italy again.”
