Will Kassouf is super Marmite, we either love him or loathe him.


Would you consider sharing a table with him to be something to enthuse about, or would you rather stick needles in your eyes?

I think it would be a case of "you're a good turn but you're on too long" for me.

I'd like to see him do his thing once, maybe twice but if I was sat with him all night and he was slowing the play down significantly, I'd get really annoyed really quickly.

Also, I would not play the same roulette table as him.

I thought I read he was banned or something.

If I sat at his table and he flooded my brain with his **** I would launch myself at him and be banned myself.

No, I seem to recall he lost his Grosvenor Poker sponsorship, & i think he got banned from Grosvenor properties, but that apart, he's free to play elsewhere as far as I am aware.

I actually think that's a fair point, it's fun at first, but he needs to change the record.

Marmite-undoubtedly.

I'm going to speak up in his favour.

Too many people are criticising the Will Kassouf of 2016-when, frankly, he was slowing the play down with his "me, me, me" attitude.

I have shared a table with Will several times since then. He has cut down on his speech play enormously-he saves it for when the time is right, ie the key decisions in the big pots. Overall, he is as quick as the next man, and when he does the speech play, it is kind of fun.

It is nice to see that even a failed lawyer is good at speech play

The roulette episode was appalling. That said, hands up everybody who has never got drunk and done something really stupid...

I,d take me hearing aids out and give him a blank look

@Essexphil You need to be drunk to do something stupid? Darn people must have been spiking my Pepsi Max all this time.

I don’t have a problem with people talking at the table, a bit of banter can be fun, I enjoyed some back and forth in Vegas, what I do have a problem with is when someone starts getting rude and or insulting. There is no need for that.
I have , unfortunately, let it get to me once before, but not anymore. I just block people like that out, if I think it’s going to far I would ave no problem with asking for the floor.

I like Marmite.

I have friends who have sat with William and they were not happy with how he conducted himself BUT on the one occassion I have shared a table with him I found him to be pleasant, and engaging.

Guess it depends which Mr. Kassouf turns up.
