Here’s a hilarious selection of tweets from the world of poker. It makes me want to be in Vegas, sounds like there is a lot of fun happening.
Annie Duke
“Joan rivers just tweeted, ‘I just compared Annie to Hitler. I feel terrible. My apologies to Hitler.’ Look at her page. WTF?”
Ali Nejad
“Phil Ivey is threatening to give my girlfriend $50k just to hold hands with her and walk through the Bellagio in an effort to needle me. Hmm…”
Barry Greenstein
“Up to 111k. My girlfriend says my tweets are boring. But that’s because I save all my enthusiasm for her.”
Evelyn Ng
“anyone in san remo or coming to monte carlo who has a couple ambien to spare to lend/sell/give will be my new bestest friend.”
Maria Ho
“Black bob wig, black rimmed glasses, black skirt, pinstriped shirt:check! Power bitch Britney from Womanizer video costume complete!”
Andy Bloch - to Annie Duke
“To alleviate the boredom, I recommend rivering a straight flush and getting paid off. BTW leather jacket pic didn’t make it.”
Erica Schoenberg
“My table has: Nam Le, Jordan Morgon, Shawn Buchanan, Steve Wong, Toto L. and an unknown ginger.”
Phil Hellmuth
“I did the impossible and I am OUT of the WPT Champ in five hands!!”
Daniel Negreanu
“Jeff Madsen just took a pic of me next to a David Spade cutout. They say we look like bros.”
Tiffany Michelle
“10miles, 9hrs, 3 bungee jumps, 2 creek swims & 1 mojito later… I feel alive & dead. I’m taking 2moro off!”
This is great! It’s like a real life gossip column for poker players. I wonder how many people drunk Tweet, and then wake going ahhhhhh f**k what did I say - to a million people (Ashton).
Are you going to do this every day or week?
Hey Johnny,
I’d love to make this a regular series, but it’s a ton of work trawling round all the tweets. A lot of fun tho so very worth it. I will be getting on of the crew to do this at least once a week, and we’ll collect all the best ones for a big greatest tweets post. :)

and yes, to answer your question. I often drunk-tweet. Typically I realise later the next day then scramble to erase it if I can (usually too late) - damn you technology!!!
Haha,
Barry Greenstein is Robin Hood. It’s too small to tell if it’s a Photoshop job, or if her just dresses up as a man in tights on the weekends.
I reckon Evelyn’s is the funniest. I guess it’s hard to sleep with all the tournament pressure and crazy hours the pros keep. Not to mention the oxygen pumped into the hotels in Vegas.
