While I was playing in the WSOP (I think it was 2011 main event but I'm not sure) you started following me on twitter). I'm a recreational player and don't have my real name on my twitter account and probably didn't use any hashtags although I was posting chipcounts and using terms like WSOP and event numbers.

Was this a result of proximity or search terms or some sort of tools or extensions?

I guess this is a long way of asking what is the best way to find who is tweeting at my table or tourney?

I hope he simply looked over your shoulder to see your account name on your phone

Great question and hopefully by the end of the answer you won't think I'm stalking you.

It most likely was one of three things:

* Someone I follow retweeted something you tweeted, I liked it, so I pressed follow

* It will have been from a twitter search relating to something WSOP related. If for example you tweeted 'made day 2 of the main event' I probably would have followed you, because I do have some twitter searches set up during the series.

* Finally, most likely, 2011 was the time my book came out. I had twitter searches set up for words like 'on tilt', which relates to the topic of the book, so I will have seen you were a poker player, saw you mention tilt, and followed you so you would see my twitter profile and saw that I wrote a book about tilt with Jared Tendler.

Oh and in answer to that, you can go to the live updates for an event, they tend to show the table draws. You can then google the names on your table alongside the word 'twitter' and if they have a twitter handle, there you go.

Not sure about the five most hurtfull losses, but I do remember these five goals ;)

I have an article coming, hopefully this month, which is kinda about that. My personal belief about poker is fortunately the same overall strategy this company is adopting, which is that the most beneficial thing for EVERYONE in poker is to make it more enjoyable for recreational players. Personally I think everyone in poker should be making losing more fun for recreational players.

you plan on getting something like the golden rasperry for writing or why is it that your Articles are so terrible (e.g. are playmoney Players fishes on microstakes) ? do something good for the poker Community and stop writing.

sincerely, every poker player

Barry I think you should be addressing this valid criticism of your writing from someone who can't seem to string a sentence together.

We just try and make every piece interactive. We are a community more than we are a news website in that respect.

Barry,

Spoiler

Do your ears hang low?

Spoiler

Do they wobble to and fro?

Spoiler

Can you tie them in a knot?

Spoiler

Can you tie them in a bow?

Spoiler

Can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier?

Just current affairs because of the Samantha Abernathy hand from the Aussie Millions, which was one of our most viewed news pieces in the last few months.

With every day my hairs get greyer, my gut gets larger and yes they hang lower.
