I used to think pro baseball players were the biggest pussies out here. I might be wrong, pro poker players are right up there, what little bitches they are. As long as somebody isn't threatening you, or using racist terms, who gives a fuck if somebody won't shut up. So this dude talks and talks and talks and won't shut the fuck up. So he's annoying, and he might be an asshole, but all he's doing is talking. And guess what, it works, he throws people off their game. If some guy is offering him one thousand bucks to shut up, well guess what that dude just got owned, Kassouf owns him, he's in his head.
Bottom line, you are a pussy if a guy at a Poker Table makes you uncomfortable simply because he won't shut the fuck up. Guess, what, just ignore him, or simply laugh at him. Or just walk away from the table when it is not your turn, or put in some earplugs, or whatever. Now it is totally different if he's breaking the rules, but if all he's doing is talking gibberish, just ignore him for fucks sake.
Oh and by the way all his talking is strategy, and guess what, it works, he owns almost everybody at the table because almost everybody at the table is a little crybaby. I mean if I was at the table with him I'd just be laughing at him, I sure wouldn't be complaining simply because a guy won't shut the fuck up. It is amazing what pussies these poker players are.
Poker needs guys like Kassouf, especially if you are going to broadcast it on television. So many players just sit there with their hoodies and sunglasses on like fucking robots. People that talk and get into your head is what poker needs, not a bunch of pussy robots.
Note: The shit I put up with on the tennis court (and off) from my opponents, tons and tons of trash talk (and sometimes even punches thrown). Threats made against me, swearing, all kinds of shit and I could handle it. And these poker players can't handle a guy who talks and talks and talks and says nothing. What a bunch of little bitches, grow a pair of balls for fucks sake.
