The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a few too many Old Fashioneds, a foggy recollection of events and a whopper of an afternoon poker news hangover.
Got a tip for a future 3-Bet? Drop us a note about it in the comments.
Today in the 3-Bet we find an uncertain future but certain response to Brexit, Martin Jacobson gets Mario-ed and Anton Wigg finds the right cash game.
1) What Does It All Mean (for Poker)?
So, you know, the UK has voted to leave the European Union.
What does that mean for the people of Britain, Ireland, Scotland and Wales? The quashed dreams of Millenials suddenly finding themselves living out an older generation's misplaced vengeance on immigration?
The future of the PokerStars headquarters on the Isle of Man? The relative value of the GBP? UK gaming regulations? European poker players who live in London?
F*** if we know. But there seems to be a pretty clear picture of how most British (and Irish) poker players feel about it:

Not entirely related but somehow fitting for both politics and tournament poker yesterday from Martin Jacobson, who coincidentally is one of the European players who've taken advantage of the EU and lived in London for the past few years:
A player questioned how I keep motivated to continue playing after winning the main. He compared it to beating the big boss at Super Mario.

Somehow, in the midst of it all, Anton Wigg has found the answer to the question of "what's the absolute best poker game you can imagine finding yourself in?"
