Josh Arieh: R.I.P Cinnabon

READ MORE: Cinnabon, Josh Arieh, Poker Players

CINNABONDEAD.jpgToday is a sad day for us at Oddjack as we bid farewell to our merciless heckling of Josh Arieh, aka Cinnabon, forever and ever. No longer will we be scrutinizing his confounding blog, his pastry face and his over-sized ego. We had no mission. We had no reason to pummel him with junior high insults other than the fact that it was fun for us and an annoyance to many. We’ve been told that perhaps this is not the best way to endear ourselves to people. Lesson learned—partially. If you’d like to enjoy Oddjack’s Josh Arieh bashing, well, there are magical web archives and a glorious search menu for you to troll through. We wish Josh well and we will never forget him and we thank him for his patronage. Adieu, Cinnabon.

No, We’re Not Above Blind Items About Poker Players

She’s not known as “The Black Widow,” but maybe she should be. Rumor has it that she drained well into six figures from one famous poker player while they were dating, and has since moved on to another WSOP big shot. Despite the fact that she’s a professional gambler who supposedly does fairly well, she was seen pulling his credit card out in the Forum Shops at Caesars’ recently when something shiny caught her eye. Another poker pro in the process of being sucked dry? Or true love this time?

Guess. Please. We’ll give you a hint—it’s not Gavin Smith.

Tomer Benvenisti: Not Happy About Being Called Fat, Italian

READ MORE: Poker Fatties, Poker Players, Tomer Benvenisti

tomerbenvinitsi.jpgSo, we may have deserved this. However, we assure you our praises of Tomer Benvenisti’s girth and gusto were sincere. Yet, Mr. Benvenisti seems to have taken our accolades, um, not well:

HELLO FUCKFACE,

MEET ME AT THE MIRAGE, WHERE I PLAY 40-80 HOLDEM DAILY AND AND TELL ME TO MY FACE YOUR THOUGHTS ON FATFUCKS LIKE ME. I EAT MAGGOTS
LIKE YOU FOR BREAKFAST. OH BY THE WAY, I AM ISRAELI AND WOULD LOVE TO STICK AN UZI UP YOUR ASS.


FAT ASS DREAMS,


TOMER BENVENISTI.

We apologize for assuming Mr. Benvenisti was Italian. That was an egregious oversight and consider this post a correction.
