Introduction

Everyone loves a tweet – and poker players are no different to anyone else. So it should come as little surprise that there are now several great poker tweets available for you to both enjoy and keep abreast of all the latest poker news. With a maximum of 140 characters per message twitter is fast and simple to use for both the sender and the receiver whether conveying information about a poker celebrity, tournaments, gossip or even online poker games.

Big Poker Twitters

Currently top of the poker twitters is Joe Sebok, @JoeSebok, not one of the greatest poker professionals you’re likely to have heard of with his best claim to fame so far being making the 2006 WSOP finals table, but, perhaps because he’s one of the younger generation of poker players being just 32 years old, his tweets always seem to hit the spot when it comes to being first with the best poker news and plays. Joe currently has some 950,000 followers.  Perhaps less surprising is that one of the doyen’s of the poker game, Doyle Brunson, has around 100,000 followers of his tweets as @TexDolly.  Tex is probably better known for his amusing asides about the poker game – not to mention his inevitable ‘blondes’ jokes.

Other poker tweets to watch out for

Poker players seem to have been a bit slow to catch on to the power of tweeting for promoting themselves and the internet poker games they endorse. However, other poker tweets to watch out for include: @basebaldy from Eric Baldwin. A WSOP bracelet winner his tweets tend to concentrate on his own play, but do also include comments on funnier moments he encounters during his play. However, if you want a poker tweet with real authority try @Erik_Seidel.  Eight times WSOP bracelet winner Erik has over 4000 followers of his dry poker humor. If you fancy some female poker twittering then there’s always @Maridu from Maria Mayrink whose tweets include the almost philosophical “i long for a world where chickens can cross roads without being questioned about their motives …”.
