@AllenKessler @lipiner @SavagePoker I was just winning too much

@lipiner @SavagePoker @Bloodlow Many flaws with it

The inaugural “Savage Average” tournament is now heads up with @Bloodlow and Lucas Tae. They have over 50 BB average.

As for the “ did he say we?” crowd - 1. I played 168 games as a bengal. 2. 3 division titles 3. 5 straight playoff appearances- 6 total 4. Had all four of my kids in the Nati 5. Been to jeff Rubys a 1000 times 6. Pretended to like skyline chili when sober 7. Stumbled drunk around Mt Adams eating pizza 8. Montgomery Inn bbq in my fridge right now 9. Spent many a night in the Courtyard Covington. 10. Sat in a reds suite with Neil Armstrong 11. Watched Amy Grant with the CPO at Cincinnati Music Hall 12. Partied with Nick Lachey in “Club Bang”on 4th street 13. Ate the “Beluga” sushi boat on the reg in Hyde park Square 14. Sat w/charlie sheen as he smoked a cig in the Queen City club. And the List goes on.. So I’ll use “We” respectfully any damn time I want. 🤣 Who dey! 💪🏼

@SamWarren31 @ChadAHolloway @PokerNews @MikeHoltzPoker @phil_hellmuth They’d change it as well imo. Maybe $25k min cash

@ChadAHolloway @Bloodlow @PokerNews @MikeHoltzPoker @phil_hellmuth Curious as to if WSOP ME buyin increased to $15k…do you think the min cash amount would still be +$5k profit for $20k payout @Bloodlow, or would they change that as well?

ICYMI, in recent episode of @PokerNews Podcast, @Bloodlow, @MikeHoltzPoker & I made poker predictions for 2026. That includes me getting 7:1 @phil_hellmuth wins a bracelet & someone thinking WSOP main Event buy-in will go to $15K. Check it out here 👇 youtu.be/ZkFyDMNjLTA?si…
