Twitter User Shutts Goes Viral with Casino Counting Cards Story


A Twitter user named Shutts became famous for a story about being kicked out of a casino. Shutts' tweet about being kicked out of a casino for counting cards gained 240,000 likes. Shutts recounted how he was escorted out of the casino while intoxicated, with patrons asking why he was being removed. He responded that he was counting cards, which enraged the bouncer.

Meanwhile, cryptocurrency millionaires have found a new passion: digital art. Alex Weiss predicted that images from the EtherRock project would soon be worth over $1 million. Tom Osman bought an EtherRock image for $5,340 and sold it 19 days later for $1.3 million. Mike McDonald paid $409,627.50 for an EtherRock image and proposed a bet that it would one day be in the Louvre.

In the poker world, Bill Perkins conducted a poll asking his followers to choose between guaranteed $10,000 or a coin flip for $100,000. Many chose the guaranteed amount, surprising Perkins. Phil Hellmuth lost a heads-up match against Tom Dwan in the High Stakes Duel show. Hellmuth has 72 hours to accept a rematch against Dwan with a $200,000 buy-in.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
