@Somuchpoker won poker series is postponed too fyi

@Kevmath Always makes more sense to play down to x%. Technically you could bust end of day 2, and get a higher layout than busting start of day 3 now it seems. And also the other way; busting start day 3 may be huge payjump compared to busting end of day 2. Odd

Each flight has its own prize pool. The unpaid prize pool is then combined for day 3 payouts and beyond. Similar concept to tournaments that had Day 1 payouts.

@thebausffs gg mate, poppin off hard!

@abarber1 @TheFitnessJurk @VanessaSelbst for sure

I've been talking for *months* about doing a podcast where I'd talk to former poker players who left the game for other pursuits. Who are some people that you'd want to hear share their stories? (h/t @TheFitnessJurk)

Small blind special. 😀

@tjreidpoker Much love TJ, don't know you well, but only have good memories playing with you. You seem like a nice lad, who turned out okay especially considering the shit I'm reading just now. Take care

I'm ending my dad's life today. Four days ago, he was admitted to the hospital. He suffered a cardiac arrest, doctors discovered incurable blood cancer, and then almost all brain function ceased. He isn't breathing on his own. My dad abused my mom for years. He abused my aunt. He raised me in a cult, stole my identity, and ruined our credit. He stole every last cent from my dementia-suffering grandpa. He asked me to lie to a judge for him and has more DUIs than I even know. He was on the losing end of a not-well-enough-hidden battle with alcohol for 40+ years. Despite all of that, I choose to remember the good I can find today. My dad never figured out life. His experience in this world pained me as I know it did him. I am who I am because of him in good and bad ways. Twitter drama has never felt more inconsequential than it has this week. Treasure the relationships you have. Life is fleeting and fugitive. Try not to bring pain to those who love you. I write this selfishly, for catharsis and expression. I won't respond to comments today, but I will read them as I'm able. With love and thanks.

@MikeMcDonald89 What are you up to the last few years Mike? I often think of you, when it's about ppl guessing/overestimating their ROI's, and MU's and stuff, with the whole bank of timex.

@Limitless_poker @Monarch

Disgusting what’s happening right now. @Monarch built the only casino in this game that actually plays fair, with the lowest margins and no shady moves. Now competitors are panicking, spreading fake screenshots, and even got his X account banned to shut him up. He’s going live on Kick today — let people hear the truth themselves. Help spread real info, it’s rare to see a project in this industry done the right way. @Duel

@PhilGalfond hey Phil, remember batting NLO8 25/50 when u just started? Against bokkie87? U got crushed day one, studied, came back few days later and imidiately u couldnt be crushed anymore. He calls u the quickest learner he played against.

@bp22 In the NL this is a more common thing. Might depend on the country/culture

How many parents do you know or are aware of who were not married and stayed together past the child's 5th birthday? I'm aware of exactly one couple.

@Graftekkel FYI EPTs are unbeatable for 95% of the field, data shows (les then 5% are actual winners)

Fwiw not saying players shouldn’t be paying for the great playing experience, I just think that tournaments that are unbeatable for 90%+ of the field is likely not a sustainable thing. I may be proven wrong though, Triton is a strong brand

@razlol Who changed the format from bo1 to bo5

I'd like to officially retire as a game 1 andy #MSI2025

@MrSparco Leuk dat je de updates stuurt, succes!

Won some small ones, lost some small ones. The net result is positive: 25.6k at break, going to 500/1k limits.

@rubenrtv heb je een dm gestuurd

@leagueofemily not sure if mentioned yet, u spoke about duning Kruger effect during HLL

Where is the live report of the 100k and 1k at EPT Monte Carlo @pokerstars @pokernews? Incredible tournament to follow and Jon Kyte leading final 6 of the 1k #EPT #EPTmontecarlo

@TravisGafford I mean, I am pleasantly surprised (or however u write it), had a blast watching it!

@KoningKa Nope, I'm delightfully surprised.

This video is so delightfully surprising to me. Partially because it taught me that Dua Lipa is an amazing interviewer of authors, but also because the video rocks and it's on a brand new YouTube channel. youtu.be/QN1rULxGHCA?si…

@DougPolkVids I mean, most low stakes games have criminal rake. Huge difference between low stakes pre and post rake, vs high stakes pre and post rake.

When I was young, I would laugh at live pros who played $100,000 buyins but couldn't beat $10 games online. Life comes at you fast.
