#POstables I’m just catching up on some of the incredibly kind messages over the last couple months. THANKYOU!! I decided to leave X because of so much toxicity. I’m on one of the other platforms once in a while if you want to look for me there.

@justBlakePrice 😂

@LaneEdwards They never showed Reed either, but no one likes him

Wasn’t aware of the tariffs on Conners coverage

@smc429 Norwegia, where JJ Walkers cousin was from..

Leavitt has reported that 75 countries have reached out to Trump. Although they've kept it quiet, there's a few that we know of: Gilead Wakanda Krypton Lilliput and Genovia are a few...

@RyanShead @MargoMartin47 @joerogan @realDonaldTrump The majority of Americans no longer value character and empathy. They value greed and imperialism.

@MargoMartin47 @joerogan @realDonaldTrump What a joke. Imagine celebrating a felon and rapist. 😂😂

“I’m so happy for you, sir!” @joerogan to President @realDonaldTrump

@justBlakePrice @NHLPlayerSafety I knew it. You could tell by how much pain he was in. That’s disgusting. Once again @NHL officiating and @NHLPlayerSafety are absolute failures at holding players accountable.

And yet @NHLPlayerSafety says hitting a prone player held by an official is ok?

@MrBooth07 I don’t understand how he’s been disrespected. They’ve made what they see as fair offers to him. We’d all love Boes to be in a position to play here for his whole career but his numbers don’t warrant that kind of offer. It’s a business.

@dustini @Mister_Keating’s channel is the best thing in the poker world right now. He’s your new star. This came to mind over and over again reading this and hearing that you’re part of it.. You’re on the right track. Keep pushing.

I'm about to alienate the entire poker industry with what I'm going to say. But someone needs to point out that we've been telling the wrong story for 20 years. The evidence is undeniable. The solution is uncomfortable. The poker content industry is creatively bankrupt and I'm done pretending otherwise. While other games turn niche audiences into a global phenomenon, we're recycling formulas for the same shrinking pool of viewers. Wrestling is scripted. Chess is silent. Golf is slow. All three are Netflix sensations worth hundreds of millions. Poker—where people literally risk their life savings while engaging in psychological warfare—can barely crack 250K YouTube views. This shouldn't be possible. But it is. The Queen's Gambit made more people care about chess in 8 weeks than poker content has made people care about poker in 8 years. Chess set sales: +1000% New online players: +5 MILLION Chess school applications: DOUBLED From a FICTIONAL story about a game where two people sit in complete silence staring down at a board and occasionally move tiny wooden objects. Have we already forgotten? Twenty years ago, poker exploded because of a story. Not a hand. A nobody accountant with a perfect last name… Facing off against a guy whose picture belongs in the dictionary next to "poker player"... An unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth... The coolest, coldest motherfucker ripped straight out of a Scorsese movie. And the underdog prevails. THAT'S storytelling. THAT'S what captivated millions. Then we lost our way. Poker suffered a decade-long drought after Black Friday. TV coverage dried up. Online sites vanished overnight. The industry was on life support. What brought it back? Not strategy videos. Not hand breakdowns. It was personalities. Stories. Characters. Influencers who understood that poker without people is just math. We've been here before. We know what works. Yet we're drifting back into the same trap. While poker content creators play musical chairs, recycling the same 250,000 existing YouTube viewers, Formula 1 converted 20 million non-fans into rabid followers. 99% of gambling content is created for the 1% who already play. While sites battle over the same shrinking player pool, they're ignoring the 300M potential fans hungry for real human drama. What do Formula 1, chess, and professional wrestling have that poker doesn't? It's not bigger audiences. It's not more drama. It's one specific storytelling approach that poker content creators actively avoid: They focus on PEOPLE first, activity second. They build CHARACTERS, not just champions. They create EMOTION, not just education. Meanwhile, poker sites pour millions into new features and UI improvements, while investing next to nothing in original, impactful content. They'd rather spend $3M optimizing their lobby than $1M on a story that could bring in a million new players. Short-term metrics over long-term vision. Quick conversions over cultural relevance. Features over feelings. Everyone criticizes @RealKidPoker and @phil_hellmuth - But they are in the arena, trying different things to actively participate in growing the game. Name someone who’s done more to bring new fans to poker…I’ll wait. Meanwhile, we've convinced ourselves that a stream's 37th close-up of some math wizard calling a 3-bet with J7 suited is "revolutionary content." Even the shows considered "industry standard" – Hustler Casino Live and High Stakes Poker – make the same fundamental error: Selecting hands based on POT SIZE rather than NARRATIVE VALUE. High stakes should be part of the storytelling – not the ONLY story. We need to be the change we want to see in poker storytelling. I'm putting these principles into practice through my work on @Mister_Keating's channel. Not to self-promote. But to prove it can be done. We're crafting narrative arcs across multiple hands. We're revealing the psychological warfare. We're turning poker sessions into cinematic experiences. The future belongs to storytellers who understand that gambling at high stakes is dramatic CONTEXT, not compelling CONTENT by itself. I'm tired of hearing "When is Rounders 2 coming out?" We don't need Rounders 2. We need creators and businesses with a stake in this beautiful game to come together and make content that breaks beyond anything Rounders ever did. We need to aim higher than recycling nostalgia. We need to create NEW classics. Here's what happens if we succeed: Poker becomes cultural currency again. New players flood into the game. Sites and casinos thrive with fresh blood. A generation of storytellers finds their canvas. And if we fail? We continue the slow, uncomfortable decline. We keep talking to the same shrinking audience. We become chess before The Queen's Gambit – a niche game for a dedicated few. And for the executives reading this thread right now, calculating ROI: While your competitors chase micro-conversions, imagine owning the next cultural sensation. Imagine poker's Drive to Survive moment – 20M new fans, 53% viewership increases. The long-term math isn't complicated. The courage to be first is rare. We've spent 20 years showing cards. It's time to show character. We've spent two decades explaining how to play. Now let's show why people NEED to watch. The storytelling must finally match the stakes. Poker content needs an entirely new narrative. I plan to write it. This is a call to the entire industry to join me. Challenge yourself. Challenge the status quo. We need to move at the speed of attention. Or the attention will disappear.

@sportsnetmurph On foolscap! Don’t see that often anymore!

Shorty’s game sheet from #canucks historic comeback. If you can read his chicken scratch.

@TrumpDailyPosts He thinks he’s the boss of earth. This is terrifying

Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Donald Trump Truth Social 04/09/25 01:19 PM

@RobTheHockeyGuy MIN vs SJ tonight CGY vs ANA tonight VAN vs COL tomorrow 😬

Just for fun... #Canucks can make the playoffs IF: -VAN wins all 4 games (including game vs MIN) -MIN loses all 4 games (and no more than 1 OTL) -CGY gets no more than 5 points in 5 games (or 6 points and it comes down to the tiebreaker)

@IanMcKinnon08 @JHawr11 @DTSports77 He probably will but for someone else.

@JHawr11 @DTSports77 He will never reach 100 pts again

I’m sorry but what? Are we actually having a conversation about if Pettersson is actually hurt or not? Are we actually going to a place where you think that Petey is sitting out because he doesn’t like the coach? This is an insane narrative.

@JHawr11 I don’t think so. I think we’re having a conversation about whether Petey has the will to play the way this coach wants him to play. This year has been a very bad look for him.

@sekeresandprice @SurreyMits If it’s actually between Tocch and Petey I’d say it’s time to move on from Petey. He shouldn’t need 4 coaches to figure it out. He either wants to fight to the death for this team or he doesn’t If he doesn’t then Adios, amigo.

"When a guy is 'day to day' I expect him to play" Can Petey and Tocchet co-exist, or have things gone too far? Presented by @SurreyMits

@KevinRobMartin Not financially. But emotionally and spiritually, sure.

If your child wanted to be a full time poker pro at the age of 18 would you support it?

@elonmusk Is it you sycophantic, sociopathic, robot?

Good question 🤔

@cb_doge I wonder if it’s because he’s meddling in your government like a fascist. Hmmm. Nahhh. Probably something else .

Many car companies, but protests are only against Tesla. Many billionaires, but protests are only against Elon Musk. Many departments, but protests are only against DOGE. Many social networks, but the media is only against 𝕏 Why is that?

@Sportsnet @evankaosmak He has to put his helmet on or leave the ice.

Trump and Putin. Archaic, Imperialist old men. In 2025. It’s unbelievable.

@SadClubCommish Whoa. Thanks @SadClubCommish 😂

Official: Canucks will miss the playoffs. Just two appearances in the last decade.
