Mislim da WSOP treba imati stav po ovim pitanjima jer to kvari igru.

I totally agree; all players should feel comfortable in the tournament. Verbal abuse should be completely prohibited.

lol, he’s definitely a character. I enjoy watching him despite the other remarks. I’m not claiming he’s correct, though. he’s just entertaining in his own way. 😬🤔😂🤣

I feel the same about Martin Kabrhel.

Kassouf is simply an obnoxious twat ^^

Let him play; if he crosses the line, eject him from the tournament immediately. Or even better, if he lashes out, maybe he'll pick the wrong target — I'm a firm believer that everyone eventually meets their match. That would be entertaining to watch🤣

Kabrhel embodies a complete douche. His routine is unbelievably unfunny and mean-spirited; it's astonishing that anyone would back such a persona and conduct.

I'm not surprised he targeted you, just saying.

I think he's a complete jerk.

Can you imagine a person living out their dream to play in a couple events at the WSOP in Vegas. Maybe they've waited 5years... maybe 10 and they get stuck on a table with this piece of self-centered piece of shee-ite. Having to endure his ridiculous chat/banter and the constant stalling. It would be disappointing at best. Instead of letting it overwhelm me at the table, I think I'd need to tune him up during the break ("Oops! Must've been slippery by that urinal!").

Can you imagine being his Mom and seeing him on your tv screen?!?!?!

Having to put up with his absurd chatter/banter and the ongoing stalling.

But there’s another side to this as well, because do we really want live poker to be a room full of people hiding behind sunglasses, hoodies and headphones, only ever saying "call" or "raise"? If you ask me, there's already too much of that. And as regarding stalling, there’s a straightforward fix: use a tournament clock.

Loud, rude, and provocative conduct boosts the ratings. Unfortunately, it appears the WSOP leadership's choices are purely business calculations.

If you ask me, there is to much of that already. And as for stalling, there is a pretty simple solution to that, which is called a tournament clock.

That's the extreme opposite (which there is a lot of). But I don't find this guy amusing at all. I think he's an a55hole. Being an a55hole on the table is unnecessary for good viewing.

Have you ever seen that competition where they take turns slapping each other in the face... attempting to knock each other out? Why not just allow player's to reach across the table and slap the smile right off the face of someone like Martin? I bet you the views would go up tenfold. Now that's something I would definitely watch. I'd even sign up to a paid subscription at PokerGO if this was tolerated on the tables (Oh yah, I already paid for a subscription to watch the guys with scarves wrapped around their heads).

Kabrehl epitomizes a complete douche. His routine is unbelievably unfunny and spiteful; it's astonishing that anyone backs a character and actions like his.

Not that I'm shocked he targeted you, just pointing it out.

Hahaha. Amusing because, to me, you’ve been "giving off douche vibes" from the start 🙂

You're particularly rude to new members. Regularly. Just saying 😉

I am not saying, that everything, Kassouf has done, is ok. I have not watched the footage from WSOP 2025, but I am sure, they had good reasons to ban him for the rest of the season. But I also dont think, he is some kind of super Villain ruining live poker, and I do find him entertaining at least at times.

Hahahah. Funny cause for me, you're "giving off douche vibes" from the beginning 🙂

You're especially a dick towards new members. Regularely. Just saying 😉

Funny how perception works. I find his posts humorous, especially the ones geared towards you.

Yeah and apart from that it is pretty much fabricated what he is saying. Unlike him i mostly check first to who i am answering and if its and obv fake account/spammer then i might have a bit of a sharp tongue sometimes. But to claim i "am regularly rude towards new members" seems pretty untrue to me and the only goal of such a post is to make me look bad.

Hopefully he'll dial it back this year. Some people find him funny and amusing, but he really needs to seriously tone things down a bit.

If you feel that a player is taking too long to make a decision, you can “call the clock,” which will trigger a 30-second countdown for that player. It is reported that Kassoufu had the clock called on him about 30 times during his final day in the tournament, which is a lot.

He was such a habitual offender that the tournament directors decided to impose a 30-second “clock” on him for the remainder of the event. And even after that, he still did things to slow down the game, such as asking to count his opponent’s chips before folding a hand he was going to fold anyway.

“WHY IS EVERYBODY SO UNHAPPY?!” 😆

“In the words of Will Kassouff, if you got it you got it.”

I wouldn’t want to play against them, but I fall for the clickbait and watch their videos.

For people who only watch poker, Kassouf is kind of like Kabrhel, but less entertaining and even more annoying. I feel like players like them, who talk nonstop at the table, aren't particularly liked by their opponents, but there aren't really any rules that should prevent them from playing that way.

I think table talk is fine, but sometimes they push it too far and it ends up becoming unpleasant for everyone involved. That said, I don't think anyone should be banned just for being annoying at the table, even if they're the most irritating person in the world. So even though many people may not like it, I think it's fair that he has the opportunity to play again.

They do, yes, but I seriously doubt you would actually do anything — violence in a casino will get you immediately banned. Easy to say that from behind a screen 👍

It would be difficult to play with a belligerent person. Fortunately, with a thousand players involved, one might not get the chance to be at the same table as this hoot.
