With the World Series Of Poker (WSOP) literally less than a month away I thought it’d be a good idea to spring clean my Twitter account a bit. You know, make sure I’m following everyone I should be and time to stop following Lady Gaga as she’s really never ever going to retweet my hilarious remarks, I know. But here’s a real question for you, are you following everyone you should be on Twitter?
So here’s my 50 Twitter Poker Profiles you really should check out if you want to stay on top of everything that’s happening this year at the WSOP in Las Vegas. I’ve bunched them into some vague categories mostly for cheap laughs and easy reading but don’t take that too serious as there’s a ton of overlap between them and I’m sure you can make your own mind up of where you think they all fit in. So let’s get to it:
