Poker players on Twitter

It’s not all work and no play for those in the poker world. Poker players have been kindly using Twitter to keep us updated on the good, bad and ugly bits of their daily lives and below are just some of the postings from this week’s Tweets.

There has been plenty of success in the online world of poker. Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh said of her success in the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) “I won the $5 rebuy!” she Tweeted on Wednesday. “After the last win, TLB points updated and I’m in 3rd w/ 3,398 ..1st has 3,438…I have until Saturday …I hope I can do it!” Jon “PearlJammer” Turner was also doing well: “11th in Razz $200 SCOOP for $1500, 5th in $150 on FTP for $8k, and 3rd in 50r Turbo for $3k… plus a few more, only finished up $4k on day.”

There was mixed success on the live poker front, where players have been warming up for the WSOP at the California State Championship. “Weeeeee…donk central here @CalStatePoker studament!” Tweeted “Hollywood” Dave Stann about one of the Stud events. “Nobody believes anyone + calling station = profit.”

Rob Perelman was also at the California State Championship and took time out to show some respect to Stann by Tweeting, “I figured @Hollywood_Dave would be the best stud player at my table. I did not think I would be the second best.” Perelman was able to make Day Two: “2nd in chips coming into day 2 of the @CalStatePoker stud tournament. First real stud tourney I’ve ever played, too.”

Phil Hellmuth was counting his blessings and used his Twitter account to state the ten things that he was most grateful for. In his first Tweet on the subject, Hellmuth noted, “10 things I’m grateful for: 1 Perfect health 2 Wife Kathy 3 Son Phillip 4 Son Nick 5 my families good health 6 My record 11 WSOP wins.” Phil then finished off the list by Tweeting, “10 Gratefuls cont: 7 All of my WSOP records 8 A life filled w love and support 9 All of the endorsement deals I have 10 An adventurous life!”

The final words of the roundup go to Kara Scott, as she kindly let us all in on her embarrassing situation of the day, “I’ve just realized that at 9pm that I’ve been wearing my shirt inside out. All day. Life fail.”
