Congrats to my boy Ox! Almost!

This is really cool.

@JesseLonis Getting better everyday!

Day 10 cold turkey from Mary Jane. It’s time for me to be done for good. My oldest daughter is turning 5 in September. I never want her to have an image of me thinking smoking is okay. I started smoking when I was 12 years old and continued for the next 18 years. My excuse was that I needed it to perform at high levels, when in reality it was to mask and numb myself from childhood trauma. Now, life is the complete opposite and everyday I wake up more blessed than anyone on earth. About to welcome my 4th daughter in August and God blessed me with a reality that feels like a daily dream. My sleep is now better than it ever was, my energy is high from morning to night. I’m embracing my ADHD and using it as the superpower it is. My thought process is very clear in poker, thinking every hand through thoroughly. If you thought I was dominate in poker before you’re about to see a whole new level of 🦍. If you want to change, it starts with you and ends with you. Thank you Mary Jane for guiding me while I needed you. On to the next chapter! 💪🏻

Triton Jeju is around the corner and I always have mixed feelings about going over there. I know I’m about to diabolically destroy my sleep, put my physical health on hold, and blow up my adrenal system. It’ll take weeks to feel normal again. Even after the event I’ll still be dealing with emotional and physical fatigue… dopamine withdrawal included. Maybe we’re all a little sick for doing it. At this stage of my life, I don’t need to anymore. But there’s something about walking down that hallway, completely exhausted, knowing you have to pull every last mental and physical resource out of yourself to show up and close a final table. You sit down against some of the greatest talent the game has ever seen, and it’s on you. When it's all on the line do you still have what it takes? If you fuck it up, it’s yours to own. Me vs. Me. My non-poker friends often ask why I still do it. That’s the answer.

@TuckonSports @bgurley 15 or so onward I’d say.

@JasonKoon @bgurley Appropriate for what age?

My friend @bgurley shared an early copy of his book Runnin’ Down A Dream with me, and I absolutely loved it. Almost anyone would benefit from reading it — but I honestly think it should be mandatory for young people making big decisions about their future. It’s a master’s guide to helping you find work you truly love, and a career you can actually thrive in. a.co/d/08rn4zc3

@JasonKoon @MakeAWish @ufc @redrockcasino How do we buy tickets?

Most things aren’t that big of a deal. Just keep going.

Growing up in such tumultuous circumstances wasn’t all bad. It taught me early on that even when things go really wrong, the sun comes up the next day. I think that’s why I’ve never been afraid to dive in—if things blow up in my face, so be it, I’ll try something else.

@CaitlinComeskey @PokerStarsUSA @PokerStars @Stapes You rock Caitlin. Best of luck with future endeavors.

I am filled with immense gratitude for the experiences & memories I made with @PokerStarsUSA / @PokerStars & although our relationship has come to an end, I will always be honored & humbled that I was bestowed the privilege of their patch. Special thanks to @Stapes & @J_Hartigan, sharing the booth with y’all was surreal. And to the stream team @spraggy, @MarleSpragg, @ArlieShaban, @peace_ndloove, @EasyWithAces & the mods who helped me build my channel from scratch. Thank you to the New Jersey/Michigan players who grinded so many hours beside me, I’ll miss our tussles. I’m coming back home to Texas now

@BuffaloHanks Na.

Make slowrolling great again!! Unbelievable 😂

Meanwhile, I’m asking for 8 a.m. starts and standup up poker tables.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how legendary Jean-Noël Thorel is? A pharmacist-biologist who founded the extremely successful beauty company NAOS (Bioderma). He's currently leading the 3k runner WSOP 25k Super Main with 19 people left. At 78 years old with significantly diminished vision, he shows up to Tritons and other SHR's and battles for days on end with the best in the world. Go get'em JNT, you're an inspiration!
