The Railbird Report: Bill 'GASTRADER' Perkins Drives the Action

4 min read
Bill Perkins High-Stakes Poker

Bill Perkins is arguably the coolest guy in poker right now.

He's the most generous for sure; giving his followers on Twitch and Twitter free money.

He sent 20 lucky followers to the PokerStars Championship Bahamas (among them Bruno Malavazzi) and now he hosts freerolls online.

But giving away free money alone doesn't make him the coolest guy; it's his presence at the table that helps him establish that feat. If Perkins is around, you'll know it because everyone is all smiles.

The constant prop betting makes events he plays more lively and players enjoy their stay more. Just a couple of weeks ago, Perkins participated in the $100,000 Super High Roller at the Bahamas. While Igor Kurganov had just been knocked out - essentially losing $100,000 - he hung around for quite some time and grinned from ear to ear. The reason? Playing Lodden Thinks with Perkins!
