@andrewneeme take care of the employees for a while.. you guys have made enough to float them for a bit..

Each day that the Lodge remains closed is crucial for the business because folks like Alisa, an awesome and always-friendly dealer, will understandably have to move on in order to support themselves. It's hard to explain to people who might be looking from the outside in how special of a place this is: One that is supported by hundreds of fantastic staff members like her, and brings thousands of people to Round Rock, TX, while broadcasting exactly what goes on in this building to the entire world.

@BigHuni @Nick_Palma1010 @partypoker i will talk to you more in person on it..theres lots i can fill you in on. he might have been last straw bit hes def not the reason by himself.

@JDPC27 @Nick_Palma1010 @partypoker You are very incorrect about Blieden being a blip on the radar. It literally is the sole reason party pokers online site completely died.

What an absolute pathetic series this is. The downfall of PartyPoker should be studied. They used to put on some of the greatest tournament series for the players.

@BigHuni @Nick_Palma1010 @partypoker for every wsop, pokergo and triton we need a rungood, a wsopc, a mid stakes poker tour as well...

@BigHuni @Nick_Palma1010 @partypoker also love u huni but shitting on a grass roots tour designed to bring people into the game just cuz it shares same name of what used to be a world tour isnt doing our game any justice. just like irish open and winnamax also focus on grass roots and fun events w cameraderie

@BigHuni @Nick_Palma1010 @partypoker them throwing in 200 people into every main to make gtds and those ppl reporting them to gaming commission when they stopped throwing them in didnt help things either. combine w tightening uk finance rules it was death sentence. bliedens slot spins was a blip on radar

@BigHuni @Nick_Palma1010 @partypoker thats not what caused them problems at end. they where running an unsustainable tourney seried with gtds that they where not making organically. they where trying to look bigger then they where to sell to hedge funds.

@PokerNews was wpt event at one point. ran tons of qualifiers and point races. combined with west coast swing tour of 3 stops. now has no qualifiers and no prestige.

From blockbuster fields in years past to a tiny turnout of just 50 entries in 2026, the LAPC Main Event has seen a dramatic shift 📉 What happened to one of poker’s most historic stops? pokernews.com/news/2026/02/l…

@AllenKessler allen it fell from grace at least 8 years ago

Wow how the LAPC $10k main has fallen from grace. This used to have a $5million guarantee and $1m for first.

@LoufactsIGB smartest people in the world surround themselves with the people and resources needed to succeed. they know what they dont know. love or hate he can literally snap his fingers and make companies worth billions anytime he feels like.

Elon Musk isn’t this “brilliant engineer” he proclaims himself to be. He’s not even a real engineer. He’s a great business strategist and product architect, that’s it. He’s not the primary technical inventor of the things he’s famous or he call himself a genius for. TESLA was founded by Martin Eberhard & Marc Tarpenning. Elon funded it, then later took control. He did not design the original electric drivetrain or start the company. All he did was buy into Tesla, and then history rewrote him as the founder. SpaceX he actually founded this company, BUT the technical credit and the actual rocket engineering belongs to Tom Mueller (rocket engineer). Tom Mueller is the real propulsion architect. If you talk to any aerospace engineer they will tell you, “A rocket company lives or dies on propulsion engineering.” In other words, the CEO can organize the mission to space, but the propulsion engineers determine whether the rocket actually leaves Earth. Elon Musk is not Nikola Tesla, Granville T. Woods, Mark Dean (high-IQ Black computer scientist), Mary Jackson(the first Black female aerospace engineer), or Marian Croak)one of the most important internet engineers alive). These people are the real geniuses. He’s the Tekashi69 of engineering, what he lacks in talent, he makes up in self-aggrandizing, Wild racial takes, and sensationalism while Taking credit for others’ contributions (similar to Thomas Edison and Henry Ford). All that money he gets from those billions in government subsidies from the United States government is not to fund his “genius,” it’s to fund his racism. This is why he sits on X all day, probably off Adderall, acting like the second coming of D.W. Griffith.

@elonmusk reverse cramer was the answer to all last 5 years..

Inverse Cramer is rarely wrong 😳

@Anointedonwr @X7anonymous cheers bro

Hey @JDPC27 this might have been a while ago But as long as there’s proof you can just message @X7anonymous to help you get the assets back

@TheBradOwen now imagine doing it all for years with no sponsorship or social revenue....many more players can relate then you think. cept they prob go more mental with 0 coming in and jist dough going out during downswings.

I just need to vent a little bit otherwise I feel like I'm going to completely lose what I like about myself... I'm up about a million lifetime in poker, but it's not that much over the course of 20+ years. I'm down $400k from the high point before the 2024 WSOP started. I've only had one complete losing year (last year), but I'm down $100k this year already and I feel like I'm losing my identity and a failure if I don't turn things around soon, especially if I'm not as open about it as I can be about the tough times. I've done pretty much everything in poker except win a major title so I've torched money in mixed games trying to get better and learn/play with the best in small field large buy-in events. This is where the overwhelming majority of the $400k downswing has come from, and it's really not that many buy-ins when I'm playing high stakes events, but I need to talk about it somewhere since there are no vlogs of these sessions. I can always just quit and go back to cash where wins are consistent and easier, but it's enjoyable for me to push myself and I don't want to give up just yet even though it would certainly be better for my mental well-being. I put an insane amount of pressure on myself to try to be the best dad, significant other, poker player, content creator, ambassador, etc. that I can be. It's tough to ever escape or take a break because I fear that if I turn off the machine, even for a short time, I might not be able to turn it on again. There aren't a ton of people who can relate to what I have going on - maybe just 2 or 3 partially and 1 of them WPT made what I consider to be a massive mistake by parting ways with, which leads to me feeling very isolated and just generally not having nearly as much fun as I used to in the poker world. I don't know how much time I have left in this space before I get too burnt out. Time with my family is what makes me the most happy and I don't get to be with them or be there for them quite as much as I would like. My health is deteriorating as well and I just can't keep up at the pace I've been at the last several years even though there are plenty of reasons to keep churning out videos as frequently as I can. I'm incredibly fortunate to be in the situation I'm in. I love being on the WPT team - I don't agree with all of the decisions, but typically they do a lot of cool things for poker and I'm in the position to be able to lose $10ks and not have it affect my life at all. I'm living the dream and my 15 year old self wouldn't believe that I actually made it in the poker industry - I'm on the same f***ing team as Ivey!! Most days I'm super grateful and appreciative. Some days I just want to burn everything I've built down because I feel like a fraud and don't feel like I deserve any of it. None of what I do is that hard or that important and if I started making vlogs in the current climate, I'd likely get lost in the shuffle and wouldn't be nearly as successful. I don't like where some things are headed. I hate YouTube shorts. I hate AI voiceovers. I hate that a lot of people are promoting the game in a way that I don't think is healthy for younger people to see because the approach is that they're content creators first trying to do the most exciting thing and not the most responsible thing. I'm contributing to that now, and it's easy for me to justify blasting off in certain spots to hopefully make an interesting video and achieve certain goals I had when I was a first fell in love with poker in the early 2000s (like winning a bracelet or WPT), but I guess this tweet is my attempt to try to make things slightly better. It actually hurts me to see top level players like Jeremy Ausmus, Seth Davies, and even Chidwick to some extent, make poker content on YouTube/Twitter/Instagram. Nearly all of the poker content, especially from these guys is objectively good for poker, but vlogs used to be something that most top guys shit all over and now we're seeing them with stands and cameras at the table because the major poker companies don't give the best players ambassador roles anymore. I 100% benefit from it - I'm like win the lottery and get struck by lightning on the same day lucky. I just miss how things were back in the heyday and I'd like to see more opportunities for the guys I look up to in the industry - the guys who have actually accomplished a lot on the felt. Also, I hate that Kalshi sponsors the Lodge livestream and I think some gum company does as well that just has nothing to do with poker. It feels weird and even there we've strayed from what made that place special, but I'm optimistic we're going to right the ship. I wish I was there more to help make that happen. One of the few things I'm proud of myself for recently is turning down the opportunity to promote the side gambling games that Gold offers, which would've made me a lot more money. If I didn't do that I would've felt like I've sold out completely. I have no issues promoting poker because I'm an example of someone who's been successful at it, whereas if people are betting/gambling in things they have no shot at winning in the long-run - I just can't be a part of it and don't want to promote it. Let's see what else... Andrew Neeme should be in the poker hall of fame for revolutionizing poker in two massive ways - meet up games and vlogging, which has inspired more poker players than almost everything in the last few decades. WSOP needs to move its Bahamas event to January and stop giving out so many online bracelets. I don't know how you guys don't dislike shameless promotions more. I know that I should get a therapist and I will likely regret tweeting this 🔥🔥🔥

@Pokerdiverguy @SavagePoker guy w qq flips over his hand as he is supposed to do. he isnhoping other guy doesnt have a higher flush and is also playing the board. other guy then mucks. i dont see any crime here imo. once he mucks he mucks. floor can overule onnbest interest but thats not on player imo.

@SavagePoker The video shows that the player folded and mucked his hand. Just like it up to the player to protect his hand, its also up to the player to represent his hand as he sees it. A folded and mucked hand is final. The other player had nothing to do with that decision.

Question for you: It takes quick thinking and I high level of integrity to have the potential winning player to speak up to their detriment. Should a player that has that in them be allowed to surrender half the pot in the tournament same as in a cash game?

@zachxbt @0xngmi they got me years ago for 36 ethwith one of these sponsored ads on x @elonmusk

@0xngmi Google executives should be held criminally liable for the rampant abuse over the years. Multi 9 figs has easily been stolen due to Google Ads phishing scams

This person lost his entire net worth, a mid-six-figs portfolio, in a single tx because of a scam uniswap ad on google I've spent years trying to stop these losses, I've built 5 different products to stop this pls use search.defillama.com to get a safe link

@jaredgriener @kwansfull @SavagePoker next hand. noone did anything wrong.

Interesting spot here. Huge ft. Experienced player mucks his hand not realizing it’s a chop. No one says anything before it hits the muck, then players try to chime in & I say it’s out of line for anyone to say anything. @kwansfull disagrees with me, what say you? @SavagePoker

@dannyslewis @BlaiseBourgeois @dklappin @Irish_PokerOpen i think everyone wanted them to piggyback off each other rather then clash. gg has def went after stars at some stops but this appears a one off for this year and i expect them to compliment next year but wsop will keep this gen march slot in prague forever imo.

@JDPC27 @BlaiseBourgeois @dklappin @Irish_PokerOpen Ah sure I didn’t really say it was intentional, just that it’s a real shame. WSOPE in Prague sounds incredible. But I’m never ever missing Irish Open. 😔

I consider the @Irish_PokerOpen the best series on Earth. The can't-miss factor is far, far above WSOP.

@BlaiseBourgeois @dannyslewis @dklappin @Irish_PokerOpen like i dislike roz enuff that i barely go there and im only 2 hrs away. prague is a game changer. wsop+ app is the appetizer and 5k w 10 mil gtd instead of 10k is fhe main course. im expecting like 1.5x what ept prague does. just my opinion. i love irish atmopshe but skipping it

@JDPC27 @dannyslewis @dklappin @Irish_PokerOpen ^^^ This is true and a point that I admittedly forgot. I've covered the event live and it's an insanely soft $10K field.

@BlaiseBourgeois @dannyslewis @dklappin @Irish_PokerOpen only thing that limits it this year is they have only had like 5 months to give away seats instead of a year like normal. combined w wsop app that makes buyins and loading yer account prior to arrival easy i thinkl it will be much bigger than ppl think. even helmuth is coming.
