Obviously at Pokerati ~~if it bleeds it ledes!~~ we would never publish anything so exploitive if both the victim @RealPhilLaak and his best friend @MagicAntonio weren’t cool with it on twitter. #inTheory

So here you go, for people who lovingly care and those who simply might be searching for pictures of Phil Laak shirtless (freaks):

We also happened to learn recently that hospital visits can make for good twittering … a great way to provide friends and family with status updates while sharing what ultimately is like travel. (Think about it … new people in a strange institution, where they have their own language and food … how is that not culture?)

Follow Phil Laak’s hospital tweets here, and later be sure to check out his blog for what he might have to share in >140.

In the meantime, get well Phil, and be sure to let us know if there’s anything we can do to help. ~~Really, anything.~~ Specifically … we’d be more than happy to look after your lovely girlfriend in what has to be a ~~vulnerable~~ difficult time for her.

In Washington state, this video would be grounds for a criminal prosecution on par with with child molesting. But down south, in Portland, Oregon, it’s a super-feelgood story with online poker pro Dusty Schmidt (aka “Leatherass”) gambling for the homeless.

His schtick is playing for rent for the underprivileged, and ends up making $20k for the folks in the process:
