WSOP New Orleans and my thoughts on the Kid Poker/Deeb feud

Ok..looks like I will get to fire at a few tourneys this week in New Orleans for the last circuit event event before the chaos in Vegas kicks off and the World Series of Poker. I haven't played much lately and I am not happy about he way I played yesterday. It really sucks when you dont get to play as many tourneys as you want to...so you have to try to make every shot count. Its tough to out run variance  ...but I will give it a try thats for sure. I hope to see you all in New Orleans...stop by and say Hi...I have already had 10-15 people I havent seen in awhile stop and catch up...good stuff.

I will say I saw some terrible plays...just "head shaking" stuff...Guy calls off 40-50bbs on the turn looking at a 8 high board with AQo...while his opponent tables set of eights??? Where do these people come from...yikes.

Hope to see you all there this week for the remainder of the Circuit Event and the Main Event...gonna be huge!!!

Been watching that whole twitter feud/fiasco with Kid Poker and Shaun Deeb. I watched the entire Joey "ChicagoJoey" Ingram podcast where they discussed this and a slew of other topics...2 hours worth. I will say after watching the video I kinda like Deeb more and more. He isn't trying to be something hes not...he tells it like it is...doesn't sugar coat anything and he is real. I think where he got the most flack was when he threw out the prop bet on a "marriage last longer" bet with him and his wife Ashley...vs. Kid Poker/Amanda Leatherman who recently got engaged after being in an "on...off ...on again" relationship. There was a discussion on "death variables"...escrow the money...and Deeb took some flack for it. I for one think there is nothing wrong with this. Deeb is comfortable in his marriage with his wife...he is not wishing ill-will on their marriage he is just saying he is confident his marriage will last and theirs "might" not...and looks like he sees a huge +EV in the "might". Daniel is the one that started with the "family" stuff attempting to call Shaun out for not being there when his child was born...well hey...if you go there and get trapped in an uncomfortable position...who.s fault is that?

How does Kid Poker handle this in Amanda's eyes? If he doesn't take the bet then does he have confidence in their love for each other? Is or will there be some sort of pre-nuptial between KP and AL? Deeb basically said on the podcast him and Ashley dont have one and if he ever cheated on her she would take everything and leave him...including all the money. He loves her dearly...loves his family even more...is probably a great Dad to his kids...and hes confident in his marriage...I really like the guy.

I wanted to just put my "humble .02" out there as some of you know the reason I dont play as much as I used to is because I have a 9 years old at home. I feel the same way about my wife as Shaun does that he would never cheat on his wife and loyalty means everything. Wild Bill also has 3 young children and its my perception they also have a great life/marriage with beautiful kids.

Deeb talks on the podcast about back in the day when him and KidPoker were more friendlier they had a discussion and Deeb told Kid Poker he would be a "Great Dad"...and KP said he wasnt interested in having kids back then. I think anyone with kids will back me up and say there is a love out in the world we never knew existed until we had children.

Let KP/AL have children and let this sort of Prop Bet come up again and I bet KP jumps on it and will see it as a huge "push". I would have liked to seen Deeb throw out something like a 5 year escrow. Both marriages stay together for 5 years its a push and everyone gets their money back.

Anyhow...I like Shaun Deeb more now then I did before...and I admire his courage to stand up and be willing to let the whole world know his family comes before anything.
Peace
