@LexyGavinPoker Just wanted to say: I’ve followed your vlogs daily and really admire all the work you put into them. It’s clear from how this unfolded that you made an honest mistake—anyone watching can see that. Don’t let the trolls win. We miss the daily vlogs. You’re appreciated. 💛

Thnx Justin, I would have for sure. The floor was standing there and said “ that’s correct” at 19 mins 41 sec I believe. I wish I could go back & let the floor take over. I never would have posted this if I thought I was wrong at the time. Looking at it slow mo I see it now. This was def a mistake on my part & I shouldn’t have intervened. Live and learn & this $300 tournament has given me 1mil in grief!

I’ve been sent this video dozens of times with the question “what’s the correct ruling here?” Honestly, I’d ask @LexyGavinPoker to see her video, fix the board (take out the 7), then assume she’d make content about her own video costing her the tournament. Zero doubt she’d help me get the right ruling because I’ve never seen or heard anyone accuse her of angling until they watched the video that SHE posted and assumed the worst. MOST of the time there’s a 4 card flop, the window was supposed to be there. Makes absolute sense that she thought it should be. People rewatching it in slow-mo and assuming she knew what happened in real time (while watching through a screen) is crazy to me. How many people calling her out can honestly tell me that they would have just watched the dealer put the 7 back in the muck and say nothing?

@ItaloRulli1 @SenRickScott @SenAshleyMoody We agree — withholding tips from employees is wrong. That’s exactly why we don’t. Tips go 100% to our team, and we still get hit with a payroll tax on that money. Restaurants get a tax credit for it. We don’t. We’re not asking for donations. Just fairness. #FightForFICA

@ROPsalons @SenRickScott @SenAshleyMoody This is why you should never donate your change or contribute to a cause by business Buy here and “we will donate x$ to x on your behalf. Trouble is, that they will claim that donation and not you. It is a crime to withhold tips collected for employees.

It’s not about shampoo or deductions. It’s about being taxed on tips our employees keep — while restaurants get a credit for that same tax. We’re just asking for the same tax basis they’ve had since 1993. Not special treatment — just equal footing to stay in business #FightForFICA

@shaun61900 @SenRickScott @SenAshleyMoody True — and like Social Security, it only works when it’s fair and sustainable. Right now, salons are being taxed on income we never earn (our employees’ tips), with no credit like restaurants get. All we’re asking for is the same treatment under the law. #FightForFICA

Appreciate you taking the time to write your representatives — that’s exactly what it takes. You’re right: gig workers like DoorDash, Uber, and Instacart are also left out. This fight is bigger than beauty — it’s about fair tax policy for all tipped and service workers. #FightForFICA

Thank you, Richard — I truly appreciate your support and willingness to help spread the word. This isn’t a fundraising campaign, just a fight for fairness and survival as a small business. But if you know people who care about keeping small businesses alive, we welcome the amplification. 🙏 #FightForFICA

Sadly, that’s how it feels sometimes — but that’s exactly why we’re speaking up. The only reason restaurants are excluded from this tax is because they lobbied Congress and secured a carve-out. We’re just asking for the same recognition. The beauty industry contributes billions, employs millions — and deserves a seat at the table. #FightForFICA

@KCruse0617 @SenRickScott @SenAshleyMoody If small business owners fighting for fairness are “a dime a dozen,” maybe it’s because we’ve been footing the bill for too long. 45 years in business. 60 employees. $300K+ a year in taxes. We’ve earned the right to speak up. #FightForFICA

@hawkwatts @SenRickScott @SenAshleyMoody Totally hear you — but this isn’t about avoiding taxes. Our team already pays taxes on tips. What we’re fighting is the extra tax the employer pays on tips — money that goes 100% to the employee. Imagine being taxed on income you don’t earn. That’s the issue. #FightForFICA

Totally hear you. The system’s broken across the board — whether it’s DoorDash drivers, Instacart shoppers, or salon professionals, we’re all being left out of fair treatment. We’re W-2 employers fighting to keep jobs stable and legal. Everyone who earns tips deserves fairness. #FightForFICA

That stat isn’t true. More than 65% of beauty professionals are W-2 employees, not booth renters. We’ve been W-2 based for 45 years — with 60 team members on payroll, not booths. We offer benefits, pay taxes, and train our staff like any other real business. We’re just asking for the same fairness restaurants get. #FightForFICA

Believe me, I share your same concern. I’m not about handouts — I don’t want one. We’re just asking to keep more of our own money. Not your money. We pay our fair share and have since we opened in 1980. We pay over $225K a year in payroll taxes alone and employ 60 people This isn’t a handout. It’s fairness. #FightForFICA

We’re not asking for a tax break — we’re asking for equal treatment. Salons pay 7.65% in payroll taxes on tips our employees keep. Restaurants get a credit for this. We don’t. That’s unfair. We’re simply asking to be included in the same credit they’ve had for 30+ years. #FightForFICA
