A stream so toxic, Kelly Winterhalter got up and left. #pokernightinamerica #highstakespoker #tvpoker #pokerhands #pokertips #crazypokerhands #pokerfights

Dear Poker Community. PLEASE stop inviting that human debris to your poker games. That game sank to the lowest level possible without an brawl happening.

Getting into those loops where you facing someone who is just speaking louder and faster, you can't get a word in, your scared that you will never get a point across. Also, memory isn't quite right, so any idea that seems relevant in the moment quickly disintegrates resulting in desperation which leads to frustration, leads to fear, leads to anger leads to hate leads to the dark side.
