No I don't find rude, ignorant and worthless ass clowns like that entertaining and they certainly aren't good for growing the game of poker because no avg human being wants to or will pay good money too sit next to a POS human being like that for 8-10+ hours straight. People talk about wanting to grow the game but then allow this trash, cheaters and other douchebags into the field. No avg human being that isn't playing poker already is interested in paying money to be near all them POS trash scumbag human beings for 10+ hours a day.

Cheers!!!

the loudmouths are good for TV/ streaming/youtube ratings but not much fun if you are on the table with them ( or even close by !). they must be tough for management to deal with as well .

Well it may be funny to see a player like him act like a horses ***** on TV I've dealt with it in a casino setting and in all honesty it's not fun and frankly one of the reasons I walked out of one casino was because of a player like that. Before then seemed to care and I never went back to that casino which used to be my favorite casino at the time. Sadly they closed the casino recently too and I can't imagine why ?

Not at all…there’s no entertainment watching one player belittle another…before you praise them, picture yourself trying to win a tournament and he gets in your face…if you really would find that entertaining, then by all means sings their praises.

How destructive these people are on the game cannot be understated. It feels like everyone but Triton have no spines. There's a reason why there are no Kasouf clips from Triton events. There is no way they'd let him ruin the game for everyone. Pros and recs both love Tritons because they treat everyone who puts the money up like a VIP. Their dealers are fantastic and so much care is put into making players comfortable. Even Martins antics are substantially less and after the collusion accusations I doubt we'll see him back.

I remember watching a Chidwick interview where he said he was retired from poker other than Triton events which are basically a vacation with his friends. Protecting that fun, safe, casual environment is the most important thing IMO.

No it can't....I have casino less then 10 mins away, completely charim soft competition like online use to be during the Moneymaker poker boom.....I rarely ever go play there despite the fact I could make an easy living do so. Too many POS like Kasouf there and it's not that I'm soft and don't know how to deal with POS like that. I grew up around and partying with Hells Angels. I'm far from soft. So I only go to my local casino when I wanna turn me back to the old 14-21 year old me. Not many people liked the old 14-21 year old me.....and if I'm honest for good reasons :ROFLMAO: .

I can be a 14-21 year 6'4 250lb grizzly bear......but I prefer to be the 53 year 6'4 250lb easy going and fun loving teddy bear.

Despite having a casino 10 mins away I prefer to play 10x tougher competition online over dealing with POS trash even thou I'm good at dealing with trash and when I do I enjoy it greatly but 53 year old me most the time just doesn't feel like dealing with it.

Cheers!!!

Absolutely 😄. I'd probably hate being at the same table as him, but as a viewer he's pure entertainment. You never know what's going to come out of his mouth next, and he always seems to create action wherever he goes.

Poker needs a few characters like that. Love him or hate him, he definitely makes the streams more fun to watch.

I would not want to be at the table with this guy The thing is there are people who are like that and I've played against them as probably many others have too. While many poker players are pretty decent and friendly and fun the negative about live poker is you do have to deal with these type of A holes. I do believe they hurt the game and could be of more of a bigger effect in the future but let's be honest people is there anywhere in life we don't have to deal with people like this ?
