By now most people are familiar with the social networking and blogging service known as Twitter. But for those who aren’t familiar with Twitter, it is mainly used to send and read updates about people. If you subscribe to someone’s Twitter service than you’ll be able to read their text updates that are no longer than 140 characters long.
Many celebrities have taken to Twitter like it’s their job and some humorous stories have definitely arose as a result such as NBA player Charlie Villanueva being chastised by the media for sending a text out during halftime of a Milwaukee Bucks game.
Relating this whole Twitter thing to poker, Phil Hellmuth has really taken a liking to this mass texting service and frequently uses Twitter to bitch about his losing hand as he is often seen doing on TV. Recently, Hellmuth send out a barrage of Twitters while he was drinking and these were too funny. Here are some excerpts from Hellmuth’s drunken debacle:
I am drinking tonight, in fact way too much! Maybe 6 total shots in 5 hours. Just landed in bay area…
I have never had a drinking problem, never. But here i am having another beer! Moosehead Beer is good! Thats 6 in 6 hours.
Called Layne Flack to tell him to tell me to stop drinking! But he said, ‘U have everything, enjoy yourself.’ Opening another Moosehead
What the F@&/k is going on here? 7 drinks in 6 hours, and i just cracked another Moosehead…Watching ‘Supertramp’ on youtube at home
I am Dissapointed in myself…8 drinks in 6 and 30 mins. And I want more! F it, opening 1 more Moosehead!!
I guess I will have a hangover, just finishing 9 drinks in 7 hours! Listening to Beatles ‘Something in the way she moves’ on youtube
9 drinks down in 7 hours…Trying Red Tail Ale, yuck! Michelob, pass. Blue Moon Rasberry Cream, horrible!!
Ok, completely wasted now. Listening to Beatles ‘Strawberry Fields’ and opening a bottle of Innskillin ‘Vidal’ pouring a glass.
Listening to Beatles ‘I am the walrus’ by myself while drinking number 10 drink…Embarassed to drink so much!! Help!
By the end of the night, Phil came up with the bright idea to start playing poker on Ultimate Bet and here are the results:
I am so drunk I cannot lose!!!! Going to play high stakes limit Hold’em at UB now!!
Lost 16k at no limit
Now throwing my cell phone accross my desk in disgust…And still drinking…12 down, i hate alcohol…
Let this be a lesson that drinking, Twittering, and playing poker at UB don’t mix!
