Thing is that I don’t own the book and live really far away.

Non-fiction isn’t really their thing but it wouldn’t hurt to try for those who own it.

From what I’ve read here, I don’t know how I would classify this magnum opus, but “non-fiction” probably wouldn’t be it.

Joey’s been diving into Bilderberg conspiracies.

Maybe that’s what he and MM will chat about.

JFC - just when Doug Polk was giving me some hope for the poker world.

If you tell me Matt Berkey is an alt-lighter or tech-bro third-way guy or w/e I’m going to be really bummed.

No idea who Joey is. Just a guess.

Berkey is a Sam Harris fan, but not an uncritical one. He’s the kind of guy who opposes things like deplatforming and “cancel culture”.

I would guess he is the kind of guy who liked Andrew Yang, but would pick spots to disagree to prove how smart he is.

If you just assume any given poker pro is somewhere on the AC spectrum you’ll rarely be disappointed.

Maybe Joey can get the leader of ISIS on and let people call into the show. Seems like it would only be fair to present both sides.

It’s weird how he can be absolutely correct and also a 999:1 dog to correctly name those faces.

Yet more typos misspelling simple words. The illustration’s caption reads: “Emperor Napoleon in His Study st the Tuileries”.

“And when Santa Anna arrives, over the protests of several of his officers, he chooses a vulnerable location to camp that was located near the Texans”. This is a poorly-worded sentence that makes it sound like Santa Anna’s officers objects to his arrival rather than his choice of where to camp. It is also clunky to refer to a “location. . . that was located”.

“The World’s Greatest Semi-Bluff” credits Terrible Swift Sword by Bruce Catton, misspelled as “Caton”.

The book will not address Robert E. Lee’s performance at Gettysburg. Is it because it would be hard to cast his hero Lee in a favorable light?

“The Most Important Hand Ever Played” credits a different book by Catton, whose name is correctly spelled this time.

Joey got his start on 2p2 and is a pretty solid dude imo.

Do any of you guys remember Ryan Fee? He’s unfortunately a Trumper these days.

Dude wants to say ((those people)) so badly

Would have bet good money that Mason couldn’t spell Tuileries. Probably copy/pasted it anyway.

It’s got to be a watershed moment when you can tell which parts he wrote by whether it contains typos
