We made it to Hawaii!! Anyone know where I can find a poker game in Waikiki!?

@DevilfishF2P Yeah ran like God and got paid in every spot! Easy game sometimes lol

@PokerWithNorm Nice cash! Those mid-stakes pots can really stack up when you’re on a roll.

Haven’t been to the Gardens in a while but ran hot on the $5-$5-$10! $20 straddle on most of the night made for some big pots. In for $800 out for $6,625.

@wishingihadayt @MarketMatt_SOC Gardens Casino! Probably the most action you’ll find in a public setting in LA at these stakes. $25 bomb pots every dealer change, new player or deck change. Def creates action.

@PokerWithNorm @MarketMatt_SOC 5/5/10 with an 800 cap? What kinda shit is that

@MarketMatt_SOC It’s a $5/$5/$10 at the Gardens and $800 is the cap. Once everyone got a little deeper we put the $20 on.

@PokerWithNorm I’m confused you’re in for $800 on a game that’s 5/5/10/$20 straddle Were you planning on playing 7️⃣ hands only, assuming you did not win any of them? 😂

Being a poker player is hard. - Lots of emotions - Lots of self-doubt - Lots of uncertainty - Lots of ups and downs - Lots of disappointments But let’s be honest… If this is what you love and really want to do, it’s all worth it.

@RealKidPoker How you do anything is how you do everything! Always give 100%. Good luck DNegs!

My two cents: Successful people don’t half ass it. When it’s something they care about, they commit fully to it. How important something is, is up to you. You get to decide, but if you are going to do something, you might as well give it your all and decide it’s important. And yes, I’m also pumping myself up for a Ryder Cup style golf match today, Southshore vs Spanish Trail. When I devote myself to something, it becomes really important- because I said so. I will give it 100% today for team Southshore! No quit. Hyper focus.

Trying to get my @Joeingram1 on and playing The Great Game!!

@TheOnePiecefool @ClubWPTGold Playing with chip counts and not number of BB is diabolical! 😂 nice run!

@ClubWPTGold Had an absolute nail biter of a heads up match at the end of the tournament, ultimately landing me in second place. This was my highest score so far in any tournament thought so it’s very bitter sweet. How do folks feel about my all in on the final hand?

@AceCruz24 @jaugustrichards 😂😂 they wouldn’t let anyone get to their cars or valet ! We were stuck or I would’ve been out 😂😂

@jaugustrichards @PokerWithNorm Shit, they could been at Hawaiian Gardens for like 2 hours by now 🤣

It’s been about 3.5 hours since we were evacuated from the Bicycle Casino! Everyone still standing around. Still no confirmation just rumors of a shooter and a bomb threat.

@LiveNewsToday3 I had AK suited on the button right when we were told we needed to evacuate! 😂 wild day!

Imagine being in the middle of a poker hand and having to evacuate for a SWAT team. 😱 That’s exactly what’s happening right now at the Parkwest Bicycle Casino in Bell Gardens. Details on the scene: shorturl.at/Oh6YV #PokerLife #BicycleCasino #BellGardens #SWAT

@trixxxen The valet said it was a hostage situation in one of the rooms. So you’re probably right!

I’m seeing rumors of a hostage situation 👀

@FOXLA Yes I took took this video and it’s mine. Feel free to use this one or any others on my page.

@PokerWithNorm Hello, did you take this video? FOX 11 Los Angeles and other FOX-affiliated entities would like to use your video on all of our platforms. Is that OK?  Do we also need anyone else's permission? Thanks for the consideration.

Bike Casino update! They are letting employees back in. No one has yet confirmed WTF happened?!?

@rayzorfold Thanks! 🙏🏼

@PokerWithNorm Stay safe norm

@jaugustrichards They have us lined up outside. Can’t leave yet but soon.

@PokerWithNorm Can you leave?

@jaugustrichards Yeah one floor guy said bomb threat.. someone else said shooter. Crazy!

@PokerWithNorm Hearing someone with a gun.

Entire Bike Casino being evacuated! We cannot get to our cars and making us wait across the street!? Anyone know what is going on?!

@LaurenPozenNews @gooo617 Sure no problem.

@PokerWithNorm @gooo617 Hi Norm I’m Lauren with cbs/kcal - would you be open to a quick zoom? We are on our way but traffic is holding us up

Wow the SWAT team has arrived!! #BikeCasino

Bike Casino update: They’ve moved everyone off the street and into the parking lot. Talked to a floor guy and he heard there is a bomb threat! No confirmation yet.
