Sheldon Adelson is a supreme asshole, great pick. Especially on a poker forum.

Mike Bloomberg may have figuratively lit money on fireā¦
Weāre asking a lot of men, in light of the #MeToo movement, how men can grow in 2018.
The who?
The #MeToo movement. Women speaking out about sexual assault.
When you say āme tooā ā¦ When somebody is like, āI got a Rolls Royce, I be like āme too.'ā When somebody say they got a private jet, I say, āMe too. I got two. Me too.ā
This is a very different ā
Well, I didnāt know! My Me Too movement from the beginning was whenever somebody said what they have Iām like, āme too.ā Somebody say they got a billion dollars, I say, āI made a billion dollars, me too.ā

"The mother of Mayweatherās oldest daughter, was the victim. She later [claimed in a lawsuit that Mayweather] āswung open a car door, hitting her jaw, pushed her into the car and punched her several times in the face and bodyā
" According to the arrest report, the victim, Josie Harris, got home at 2:30 a.m. on a night in September 2010 to find Mayweather talking to their two sons. The two got into a verbal altercation and Harris called the police, the report said.
The police report said Mayweather left after the police arrived, but returned at 5 a.m. with his friend James McNair.
Harris told police that she woke up to Mayweather standing over her reading her text messages. When she admitted she was dating someone, he allegedly started hitting her.
Harris told police that Mayweather hit her in the back of the head, pulled her off a couch by her hair, and told her, āIām going to kill you and the man youāre messing with.ā
One of Mayweatherās sons saw the fight, ran out of the house, and alerted a friend of his motherās, who called the police, according to the police report."

Pick 5: Floyd Mayweather Jr

Wow @ the Mayweather pic. Absolutely an asshole but there are definitely more prolific women abusers out there who are just lesser known.
Hell, he isnāt even the biggest asshole in boxing. Just the most well-known one.
Ok, here we go.
I had not originally planned to take my last pick. I doubt anyone else had either. I meanā¦
Heās never killed anybody that I know of (maybe from boredom).
Heās not a billionaire (in fact, heās much less well off than he should be, given the opportunities heās had).
Heās not a shitty policy maker (although he did have a government job once that he hated, and he does approve of shitty policy).
Heās not a well-known media asshole ā in fact, heās not well-known at all outside of his niche.
He is a sour, insufferable know-it-all libertarian asshole, but those are a dime a dozen.
So why is this guy so special that I decided he he deserved to be picked in the main draft, and not relegated to the spite list or someoneās āhereās who you shouldāve pickedā list?
Simple ā because his assholery is the reason weāre all here right now.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give youā¦

Now, although Iāve been on 22 since the very first iteration before the boom (20 years!), Iām not as well-versed in the ins and outs of the forum as other here are. So, Iām going to crowdsource the rest of this writeup. Please chime in with your best āMM is a complete assholeā stories. Examples could include, but are not limited to:
-
His petty feud with Daniel Negreanu
-
His petty feud with Paul Phillips
-
His petty feud with NeverWin Poker
-
His petty feud with Dutch Boyd (in which he somehow came out looking worse than Dutch)
-
His petty feud with Dr. Tricia Cardner, to the point where he wrote the worst 22 book ever and the worst book on poker psychology ever just to āprove her wrongā
-
His petty feud with minimal social graces
-
His threat to nuke the Poker Legislation forum on his own website because he didnāt like the PPAās logo that was not even posted anywhere on his site
-
His threat to ban someone for lying about what Mason said one timeā¦despite that personās only action being to post a completely accurate tweet from Masonās own Twitter account
-
His threat to lay off staff because of Obamacare
-
His disgust over the unmitigated hatred in his Politics subforum, and apparent denial that cesspools like BBV4L, OOT and NVG (and now P&S) are also things that exist on his forum
-
His love of Confederate generals
-
His belief in the Trump poker boom

I need a few hours.
I think you just sniped everyoneās first choice for a sixth spite round. I gave some thought to taking him, but decided it was more fun to take Harris.
Iām glad someone else recognizes how bad his poker psychology book is. Iām sorry if that you (presumably) read it. I like to describe it as the least essential poker book ever. Itās not even incredibly wrong (and poker books that are very wrong are still useful because they can give insight into how some exploitable players think); itās just an incredibly pointless book that doesnāt cover any interesting ground and was written out of spite for another person.
Any bets on whether he had some sort of undisclosed financial stake in a company that manufactures BHT before he started his āIs This the Cureā thread?
Has anyone else noticed how he likes to bring up how he plays tennis every once in a while as some sort of āI am not a nerd because I can do sportsā declaration?

With the final selection in the 5th round of the asshole draft, I select someone who is so much of an asshole that Iām genuinely surprised heās still alive.
My case will be made entirely with the selectionās own words.

ā9/11 was an inside job. Yāknow folks always think that āwell, they blew up the World Trade Centers to get the seven billion in insurance moneyā or āthey did it to get the oilā or āthey did it to be able to invade the middle eastā or ādid they it for weapons salesā or āthey did it for opiumā or āthey did it for Israelā.
Itās ALL those reasons. The New World Order doesnāt do something unless the cost-benefit analysis, it helps ALL of their major operations, and this is what it really comes down to in the final equation.ā -
āThe reason there are so many gay people now is because itās a chemical warfare operation. I have the government documents where they said theyāre going to encourage homosexuality with chemicals so people donāt have children.ā

āHitler took the guns, Stalin took the guns, Mao took the guns, Fidel Castro took the guns, Hugo ChĆ”vez took the guns. And I am here to tell you, 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms! It doesnāt matter how many lemmings you get out there on the street begging for them to have their guns taken; we will not relinquish them, do you understand? Thatās why youāre going to fail, and the establishment knows, no matter how much propaganda, the Republic will rise again when you attempt to take our guns!ā

" It took me about a year with Sandy Hook to come to grips with the fact that the whole thing was fake. I mean, I couldnāt believe it. I knew they jumped on it, used the crisis, hyped it up. But then I did deep research and my gosh, it just pretty much didnāt happen.

"The West is only a destabilization program right now. We arenāt to that point yet, but in Sweden and Germany and France theyāre putting ads on saying, āYou are demoralized. You are dead. You are over. Give up to the hijab. Give up to Muhammad and Allah! Allah Akbar! Weāre gonna stab your daughter at the mall! Weāre gonna to stab your wife, your son, weāre gonna stab you with a butcher knife!ā And then the police chief is going to get up and say, āWe love our Somalis. We love our Muslims. Oh theyāre so good. Oh theyāre so sweet.ā

" When I think about all the children Hillary Clinton has personally murdered and chopped up and raped, I have zero fear standing up against her. Yeah, you heard me right. Hillary Clinton has personally murdered children. I just canāt hold back the truth anymore. Hillary Clinton is one of the most vicious serial killers the planetās ever seen."
Honestly I thought this would be kind of fun but its just sad, pathetic and upsetting.
Fuck you, Alex Jones.
