Loki

Well...this morning at Starbucks basically sums up my @WSOP & @msptpoker experience thus far. Her: Can I get a name for this order? Me: Loki. Her: With a "c" or a "k"? Me (perplexed): "k". Just can't win...yet. @ChipLDR

@AshmanAFP @IJaSport I don't think I see a single frame where Messi's nose is pointed straight down at the ball with his eyes locked on it. He takes peeks at it, but his head is mainly at an angle facilitating these glances while opening up his field vision. Maybe I should be teaching "angle head" :)

@LuckboxLoki @IJaSport The video clearly shows that Messi does exactly what you say not to do here. He focuses straight down on the ball.

One of the biggest misconceptions that needs to change in the coaching world is..."Head up when you're dribbling." This simply is not true or even possible. The truth is just like everything else, choosing the right moment to look up/down is the skill.

@BeauIgor @IJaSport Absolutely. The other commentary about the importance of scanning/peeks and pictures is on point for sure. In my experience, all this becomes easier to teach, and easier for young players to pick up, once they get comfortable with the angle eyes idea.

@LuckboxLoki @IJaSport makes sense coach. With an occasional peak to find space and teammates?

@PokerNews @msptpoker @potawatomi_mke Honestly, I don’t know who I feel worse for - the guy who got his aces cracked, or the guy in seat 8 who only wanted a celebratory high five and had absolutely no idea what to do when he was left hanging…

OH. MY. GOD. 🤯 On the stone bubble of Day 1c at the @msptpoker Club Poker Championship ♣️🏆 @potawatomi_mke, a player with pocket aces 🚀 is at risk…

@msptpoker @potawatomi_mke Haha! That’s gold. Didn’t think there were updates for the side events. See you guys later today.

@BeauIgor @ImCollegeSoccer @freethink68 I’ll take the way over for us here in MN…

@ImCollegeSoccer @freethink68 $12 to $15K easily seen in the Midwest - ECNL.

The biggest problem in US soccer isn’t bigger, faster, stronger. It’s cost. How many families can afford the $12k to $15k a year for elite club soccer? ECNL MLS Next GA #CSTruth

@Top100Rick 55yr old 4 hdcp - put a 7w in the bag last year and love it. Love my 4i mainly for getting out of trouble with low cut or hook stingers, and love my 3h which has a more piercing ball flight and more roll than the 7w. So…now I just play with 15 clubs…shhhhh

Scottie Scheffler plays a 7 Wood. The greatest ball striker since Tiger Woods doesn’t feel any shame for using one. And yet somehow 3 handicaps think they are too cool to put one in the bag. Real men use 7 woods.

@MNPokerUpdates @shrpo @WPT @Gr8Turk1977 God run boys!

@Don_K_Williams Scored the best goal of my pro career against this stud - my rookie year with the Rowdies in 1992, and the US team was in town for a friendly before the Olympics later that summer in Barcelona. Funny, I’m likely the only one in the world who remembers this goal :)

Name the player I am standing with

@hoppscot22 @aceragoff @ClubWPTGold @WPT Hopp with a large payout? Site must be as soft as friends say…

@aceragoff @ClubWPTGold @WPT Not my first payout. First large payout via debit card though

Don’t worry everyone. This time Rose is taking a seat at the table, not on it

@07Laplante @MNPokerUpdates @aceragoff @msptpoker That’s prob bc I don’t really like you. GL :)

@LuckboxLoki @MNPokerUpdates @aceragoff @msptpoker Lmk if you make it out! I’d love to link up for dinner or something. Don’t think we’ve ever hung out off of the felt before lol

After last night's $1100 MSPT Main Event finish, Daniel Kennedy's (@aceragoff) 6th place finish for $30,514 helps him surpass Loki Abboud (@LuckboxLoki) for the top spot in the 2025 MN Player of the Year race!!! With 9 MSPT events reminding in the festival and just around 30 POY qualified daily tournaments to play. Its going to be a close one!

@07Laplante @MNPokerUpdates @aceragoff @msptpoker Had things set to go out Tuesday and had to change plans. Had things set to go out this morning and had to change plans. Tomorrow am still up in the air.

@LuckboxLoki @MNPokerUpdates @aceragoff @msptpoker The real question is why are you not in Vegas?!?

@ryanmouquegolf We’re up here in Minnesota, USA. Typically we’re lucky to play past October and lucky to get back out by mid-March. But in the last few years we’ve played as late as Dec 26 and as early as Jan 17. #onlygoodthingaboutglobalwarming

How much golf have you got left in the season? Weeks? Month or months? Can you play year round?
