Honestly, I'm not sure it's that simple. I really think the guy had some kind of breakdown, and is now unstable and unable to cope with his life/surroundings. Dude needs help.

You may be right. But can that level of jackassery all be explained away by mental illness?
 
And when Joey here predicts that they'll have him back on Poker Night in America, for the ratings, I have to question it. Because I can't imagine how hard it would be for them to find 9 other guys who would sit at a table with him.
 
No douche list is complete without the #hashtagking of poker-playing douchebags, Phil Helmuth. I have a rack of STFU chips on hand every time I play in a casino, just in case he gets seated at my table.

Isn't #hashtagking the #hashtagking of poker-playing douchebags?

I personally don't mind Hellmuth that much, he just has a preconceived idea that anyone who plays in a way that he doesn't approve of, is a loser (especially if doing so knocks him out of a tourney).
 
I tend to like boisterous aholes but HTK is.. "the worrrrrrrrrrst...."

After the sorta slow roll of deeb's Q8 and HTK insults his wife I love how deeb tells him he's going to be broke and to mark his words or something like that. Fuck that guy, he's horrible on all fronts.

Bad read. The list to join that table will be poppin huge. Not only is he bad, but everyone in poker wants to felt the asshole. There will be team play if he opens early and miraculously the entire table flats. :whistle: :whistling:

I think I've still got a few laying around
 
This was my introduction to Ponte:


Love him or hate him, he's got you all talking about it, and watching the videos, and clicking the links. And if that's what sells, that's what the producers are going to give us
 
Lol, he calls himself the 2nd best/biggest poker player in the world right now in his video. Has under 400 twitter followers :p
 
Starting to think the guy really is crazy. When at first he seemed to be trying to create a social media image of a rich douche, lately all he posts is really negative stuff. The weirdest thing was an Instagram post of his passport all torn up captioned, "I dont know who did this, I woke up and my passport is broke.". I don't know what sane person would post that or describe it as being "broke.". Anyway the next post was about his gf leaving him. So maybe she destroyed it and left but I think it's more likely he ripped it up himself. It was during the game the night before when he was saying he doesn't even want it anymore.

Just so peculiar. I'm thinking he has to be crazy at this point.
 
in that video he said he "he's waiting on a wire". That's what he was saying at Choctaw. Something tells me this guy has a big big of nothing...including no money! Can you say "Fraud"?
 
Oh dude that fucking sucks. I had been working my way through the live feed, was about an hour and 45 minutes in. Work a shit-ton of hours so just getting through it piecemeal. Hadn't gotten to the part yet where he starts trying to pawn his shit for cash, and the fucking youtube link is dead, wtf? Anyone got another link?

That's his second account that's suspended. Maybe he's bi-polar? Never know.

He definitely has issues, check his facebook:

He's posting a bunch of pics of Joe Ingram and mentioning Deeb in them, here's just one example, but he's got a gazillion more:

From the things he has said in the past two weeks it's clear he is bi-polar. The way he's acted in the past two weeks - one day he says he is going to quit gambling for 5 months and go to Isreal with some guys he just met and then the next day he is seemingly having his parents back him while he tries to crash the Bike game he's been banned from - is pretty indicative of manic depressive disorder. I've had a friend diagnosed who would behave in the exact same way. Not to mention that gambling is a symptom of the manic phase.

However, bipolarity isn't an excuse for being an asshole to everyone. But people in a manic phase do seemingly tend to use others and leave them behind without a second thought. Anyway, I don't know if the guy needs help or not but it's pretty fascinating to watch when you don't have to be involved.
