Upcoming Gambling Regulation in Ireland

Hey folks, I'm posting here to raise awareness regarding the new proposed gambling regulation which will be of interest to any grinders/recreational players based in Ireland. The most meaningful stipulations regarding poker include the following:

1) Ban on inducements/vip schemes (decent chance this gets revised based on the wording in the debates so we might end up being all right here)
2) Max bets of €10 per game and max winnings of €3,000

Best Player on All-in Podcast?

Curious who you'd vote as the best player? Jason, the scrappy/hungry one, Chamath the richest, David, perhaps the most intelligent, David the most measured and GTO?

They all play with Koon to Mr. White Magic himself, so far better players than the 10/20 regs at the Wynn.

And it's 100% that they'll see this thread.

Almost every other forum has one. Let's try one here. Post your questions about poker that don't need their own thread. Engage in friendly conversation with other NVGers. Don't be mean and troll.

Widespread cheating at high stakes / pinhole cams on the felt

Listening to solve for why podcast today and got more details on the cheating Berkey had alluded to last week. Sounds like an organized cheating ring using pinhole cams in a variety of objects to pick up the cards as dealt (have to be in the one or two seat) have been at it for quite a while. Video is relayed externally (maybe even to a call center offshore?) and relayed to the player via an earpiece. Players appear to be whales making ins

ACR not paying out creator deals!

Hard to believe the site is stupid enough to not pay out creators with huge platforms. Are there bigger problems with solvency?

Is there any endorsement money if you win the WSOP ME now?

Even if you are not perceived as a cheater. Is there much endorsement money if your name isn't Negreanu? Do top players, except Hellmuth, etc. get invited to private games and get appearance fees?

WSOP Top 10 Tuesday - Introduction from the World's Greatest Unknown WSOP Historian

Welcome to the World Series of Poker Top Ten Tuesday thread. Having spent the last ten+ years researching and analyzing the WSOP, I'd like to share some of my favorite findings each week, with a primary focus on the bracelet events.

Some of these lists are very subjective, so have fun arguing about what's been underrated, overrated, or completely missed.

Other lists are fairly objective but will include unknown factoids and more than a few er

Poll: Most memorable Johnny Chan scene in Rounders?

Got in a discussion about poker popularity and the Limit vs. No-Limit debate.

Someone replied that the "famous Chan bluff scene" was LIMIT. So that gave me the idea for this.

Pokerking Asia frozen accounts.

Around two/three weeks ago, pokerkingASIA froze 100's of accounts in a measure to combat bots and detect those who are colluding. Since then there has been 0 dialogue with players how long this will take or if any accounts will be unfrozen. Their 24/7 customer support links you to an email address which is impossible to get a response.

Im opening this thread for people to vent their frustrations, let others know if they've been unfroze and

What if Black Friday never happened?

In a parallel universe where Black Friday never happened because FTP and PS were operating on the up and up, what do you think the current state of poker would be?

Would your game be better? Worse? Busto? Richo? What about popularity? Talent level?

I suspect mixed games would be the new king (or queen, I’m not sure of the gender of mixed games) as NLHE would just be too advanced.

Thoughts?
