Doug Polk is feuding online again
Settle in for Nik Airball and Doug Polk vs Matt Berkey - the latest online poker feud to distract you from everything you wanted to do today.
Doug Polk has a variety of ventures, some of which never quite made it and even his poker career is on again/off again, but there is one thing he will always be passionate about - dragging poker players on Twitter.
It seems recently becoming a Father has reinvigorated his lust for online feuds as he has sparked a three-way battle between himself, Nik Airball and Matt Berkey.
Following the news that Garrett Adelstein was uninvited on the Hustler Live Stream, Doug Polk invited the stream's new big attraction Nik Airball to chat on his YouTube channel. On the show, Airball referred to Only Friends podcast host Matt Berkey as a scammer, challenged him to a heads-up match and claimed Berkey had avoided playing him.
Berkey hit back saying he was willing to play Airball in Las Vegas:

The feud escalated with Polk claiming he tried to organise a heads-up match between the two but could not pin down Berkey. Berkey then shared private DMs refuting that, which Polk took exception to:

This resulted, inevitably, in Polk making a trademark video calling out Berkey, his training site, and his ability as a player:
Berkey responded by suggesting this was all an attempt to market Polk's own training site by trashing a competitor:
Fucking based https://t.co/oB0PRSJ2nz

And here we are folks, it looks like things are going to escalate for a while yet. If we could throw Garrett Adelstein and Robbi Jade Lew in for good measure that will probably spice things up too.
