Twitter has revolutionized the way we communicate on a day-to-day basis. Where there used to be a huge divide between celebrities and fans, now it’s easy as ever to get in touch with or follow the actions of someone you’re interested in.
The social media platform seems almost a perfect fit for the poker world. With the 140-character limit ideal for recounting hand histories or updating chip counts, many pros these days are using Twitter to keep their followers in the loop.
This week we’re aiming to get it happening again, this time with the hashtag – #APPTMacau. We’ve already seen hundreds of tweets with the hashtag this week. From players describing pivotal hands, fans and friends wishing people luck, to tournament directors and staff sharing tournament information, it’s clear that Twitter is playing a big role in the poker world.
Some of those players include the Team PokerStars contingent here in Macau. Bryan Huang @BryanHuang_ on Twitter has been very active this week, tweeting his chip counts and bust outs. He shared his thoughts before the festival began.
Love the schedule @PokerStarsMacau and the write up! http://t.co/FQ2VOV5NfS and the structures are #2die4 http://t.co/RxGQAYFuMZ #APPTMacau

PokerStars teammate Celina Lin @Celina_Lin on Twitter has been doing the same to keep her followers posted on her progress. She let Twitter know after busting the HK$50k Freezeout last night.
Thought I was good with QQ and flop a Q but ran into KK who also flopped a K. GG. #ontothenextone #APPTMacau
