As I am a logic wizard racist without a HUD, I already do tendencies by nationality, so get a headstart on others.
Nationality will be hidden too

A really odd series of Tweets from Doug Polk, starting with;
I'm out guys, punted off the rest of my chips. Cant even play poker well anymore, playing gives me really bad anxiety and while I'm there I just want to leave. Only played this summer because I didnt want to let you guys down.
Not going to play again, sorry everybody.
https://twitter.com/DougPolkPoker/status/1147376178803511298
He followed up with;
I think it's a few things compounding. If I had to guess it's not studying or playing, feeling like I need to win or I'm upset, and not caring about the stakes. But the result is I'm just not able to play at any sort of reasonable level.
And.....
Hard to say if poker is gonna crash, I do think it's a great game. But I'm out. Thanks for kind words

As of June 30, 2019, OPR will no longer be tracking PokerStars tournaments. We are sad to let go of PokerStars after 12 years on OPR but we no longer have the resources to support the tracking of PokerStars. We will continue to track partypoker tournaments so stay tuned.

Missed this. I like Doug, he has done a lot for poker and made a lot of great content available for free. Hope he comes back.
As an aside, Pius Heinz responded; I wondered what happened to him.

Never say never though. I felt the same for 3+years. Now its actually fun again to dabble occasionally.

Is it possible the rake is too low?

Agree as to Doug Polk's content, I rather enjoyed most of it. Think he's gone across to the dark side (Bitcoin) now though. Or UFC.

Really surprised to see these comments from Doug Polk, last I knew (clearly outdated) he was strongly promoting some poker training site (upswing poker?).
Used to really enjoy his twitch stream and broadcasts really surrpised to see so much venom directed his way on twitter.

Whilst in Vegas I read on someone's twitter that last year, Chris Fergusson used to join the late reg queue late on then move to the back if other's joined after him. He was thus maximising his chance of a min cash for POY points. It is clearly reasonable to late reg in the circumstances, but moving to back of the queue is absurd. Should be a DQ on the overall fair play rule. If he did it again throw him out of POY standings too.
Obviously Vayo should be DQ'd if true.

I like Doug, his content is always good, and he's a very funny guy.
Definitely uber melodramatic, like most poker players, though.
Thought he was a crypto expert now, anyway
Never surprised to see venom directed anyone's way on Twitter. Some people live to be spiteful *****
