Best Poker Twitter Accounts

We did a version of this article 26 months ago, but that might as well be 10 years by social media and poker world standards. Twitter can be a great way to keep tabs on interesting figures from any subculture including the poker community. The best poker Twitter accounts provide a nice mix of humor, information, opinion, and interesting non-poker related links. In other words, they tweet more than just their latest chip count from whatever tournament they're in. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the best poker Twitter accounts: online poker 468x60 kevmath Kevmath is the source for poker information.

Last fall, the former Navy SEAL live-tweeted his third heart attack (Bilzerian admits to using steroids).

Among his interesting tweets include answering questions on how he would rule various live poker disputes.
