2009 WSOP Main Event champ Joe Cada is still making the media rounds. Recently he was on a local (local to him at least) Detroit radio station where he brought his hot girlfriend and played some Uno.

And he won the Uno game too.

Kid is still running good.

Let’s start by saying this: we like Joe Cada. He seems like a good and modest kid, embraces the responsibilities of being poker’s ambassador for the next year, has a hot girlfriend, etc.

Soooo with that out of the way…Cada took to the 2+2 forum to defend his 2009 WSOP Main Event final table play, where the haters have come out calling him the ultimate luckbox for the past week.

Writes Cada:

“Lets first by saying if anyone thinks I’m denying I got lucky at the final table then im not. 2nd poker is very situational basis depending what has been going on, images , stack sizes , fold equity, hand ranges, etc so for people to make assumptions by seeing 2 hours of footage cut from 17hours is pretty irreasonable. On that note since its 4:15am im just going to copy and paste what I wrote from last post.

For all those people who I agree what I said thank you and for the others than thats fine to everyone is subject to there opinion. Did I get extremely lucky during the final table of the main event? Yes I did, but as an extreme critic to my self play I was not mad about how I played any hand even though I got lucky.”

It goes on more but our eyes had exploded by that point. Now we’re further away from our educational days than we care to admit, but if the above is a demonstration of how smart people write these days, then fuck us all. Checkmate, China.
