@PuntingStacks Use code snoopdoug

The amount of mouth breathing limpers in the WPTGold streets is astonishing

@WoodyEs88 Don’t be afraid to win big @jasonbsu

Lmao

@jeremyausmus @PokerGO @PokerGOTour Should you straddle when the BB player is very short and it’s near the bubble?

Today at @PokerGOTour they are allowing live straddles for the first time I've ever heard of. I've always thought it was silly to not allow them as they are allowed in cash games and I really don't see much harm. It's a very little thing but another way PGT listens to players and makes changes accordingly. Do you think this is a good idea and should be allowed in tournaments everywhere?

@MGMNH_Poker @chatham_mac I think that would be a better approach. You want to incentive people to earn the most points possible. You could give a seat to 1st, or you could give players a larger stack going into the freeroll based on how many points they have.

@Ryan_dgen @chatham_mac Not in the current format. The seats will be awarded through the June 4 Freeroll for players who qualify through points. That said, we’ll definitely note the idea, if the top point earner also received a seat in addition to the Freeroll, would that be more appealing to you?

There once was a grinder in March, Who followed the promos from start. With high hands by day and bounties in play, they stacked chips and made quite the mark. ♠️ March is loaded — Check the calendars below and plan your run. #MGMNHPoker

@MGMNH_Poker @chatham_mac Does the top point earner automatically win a seat?

@chatham_mac @Ryan_dgen The packages aren’t won tonight. They’ll be awarded during the June 4 Freeroll. Points earned throughout the Road to Aria events determine eligibility to play in that Freeroll for the packages.

@chatham_mac @MGMNH_Poker Not all details are provided here but it contains some. assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltc…

@Ryan_dgen @MGMNH_Poker Thanks but I’m still unclear. Can you win a seat tonight? Or is it a points system in which your have to play every tourney and end up a points leader to win. Are the details listed anywhere?

@chatham_mac @MGMNH_Poker only 215/300 goes to the prize pool bc they take out $35 for the "freeroll". So the tournaments are super-raked unless of course you end up benefiting from the promotion. Which means its only worth playing if you plan to play it every week

@MGMNH_Poker Can you provide more details on the Road to Aria tourney tonight? What are the dates for the tourney and what are the packages you are giving away? Thanks

@SamGreenwoodRIO 💯

Simple one today. How often should I c-bet here?

@ArnwineJustin congratulations!

@i_am_jackis Timing of top and bottom has been consistent every cycle. Why should we not expect bottom in Oct 2026? Believe this until reason to believe otherwise...

The most hated move for crypto now is a bottom in Q1 (max early Q2), and not a current consensus of Q3 ETH frontruns 25 lows & BTC doesnt hit 40K as many wish We make new highs by the end of 2026 and 27 is bullish breaking the traditional expectation of halving timing of the past & so on --- No, the most hated move is truly not lower, now that most capitulated and exited the market to trade stocks But perhaps you have a different view? 🤔

@rayzorfold Because people are more skilled now. ICM strategies give way to players not putting their tournament life at risk

Why is tournament play so shallow now? Like why is final table ppl with like 6 and 12 bb. Why not big stack battles like it used to be?

@globalkennyp Don’t waste time on gaining respect from others, respect yourself!

Live poker and Online poker are 2 separate arenas If you intend on gaining the respect from both live and online players You must prove yourself in both arenas

@seemitch @Protentialmn @mcmattopoker Vs 17BB eff, 4.5 Vs 20BB eff, 5 Vs 25BB eff, 5.5

@Protentialmn @mcmattopoker Appreciate all the feedback. Feeling like I might need to reduce all 3bs in effective 25bb or less ICM situations from 5.5 to 4.5

Call or fold? FT 530 - 7 handed. 1st 31k, 7th 4.9k. CO opens 2bb, I raise 5.5bb with 99, SB shoves 13 bbs. It folds back to me. I was completely confused in game on what to do?

@Kidfears99 @DCDPW @311DCgov It’s two days after the storm Karen

DC roads, 3 days after the storm. What gives @DCDPW?!?! @311DCgov? Anyone?

@UriPelegPoker It’s like trying to become an elite athlete. You have to practice often, and you have to embrace big competitions. You have to suffer big losses and manage big wins. And you’re not going to stay in it very long if you don’t enjoy this process.

If I had to start poker all over again, I’m not sure I would. Not for the reason you think. Poker is a great career choice if you have the skill and passion for it. There are few options like it - You progress at your own pace, purely based on merit. Progression if you’re good can be extremely rapid - your hourly wage can increase from year to year by large margins. The cap is also unlike a lot of mainstream jobs, especially for someone young. You can achieve extremely high income levels much faster than you would at any other profession. Freedom - you’re your own boss. You choose your vacations, your works hours, your time off. Not feeling it - don’t go. Socially - you meet a very special group of people. All of them off the beaten path. Maybe this is just my experience, but I’ve encountered extremely kind, smart and creative people of many different types, and benefited a lot as a result. So why wouldn’t I do it over again? Because right now, it’s very intimidating. Solvers - make it feel like chess. I need to learn a lot. I need to memorise a lot. I need to work a lot. And people have been doing this for years. That’s a very daunting and unattractive situation for me to start with. Back when I started… take a pre flop chart, read or book or two, maybe watch a few training videos - that was it. That was the knowledge you and everyone else had to go off of - and we can start playing and thinking for ourselves. Had there been these solvers that I need to study, aggregate reports, different sizing for different boards - honestly I’d never have started in the first place. The funny thing is… from my perspective now - I understand that it’s really not about that. If you had to start poker right now - I wouldn’t want you looking at a solver for a while. Watch a few videos, just like before. Maybe read a book. Start playing, start thinking. Stay away from solvers - you’re not equipped to deal with them in a way that will benefit you. Learn how much your hand is worth. Learn which cards are good for which player. Learn about concepts - polarisation. Geometric sizing. Equity realisation. Pot odds. Player types. Types of mistakes. Exploits. What do you do if someone calls 3bets too much pre flop? What do you do if someone folds too much? How do you adjust against someone aggressive? Someone passive? Someone trappy? How do you recognise these tendencies fast? Timing! Betsizing tells? These are all things I knew before solvers. And then used solvers to help myself refine and understand better. If you just jump straight in, and start studying what size to bet on what flop, you’re in for a long and frustrating journey. A journey like doing a college degree. But you’re here playing poker, and not in college, so I know that’s not what you want. Poker is awesome. But in the current climate I might never have given it a chance.`

@MikeTFox5 Northern VA: 12 hours of snow, 12 hours of sleet 😳

GRAF model now captures the full storm and is pretty similar to a lot of the other guidance I've seen out there. Snow starts late Saturday night (midnight-ish around DC) and then is heaviest Sunday morning. Pulls that sleet line up by lunchtime. Nasty winter storm front-to-back.

@TheChosenZygote You're right, that is totally standard in The Great Game.

Flopped quads into standard clubwpt gold runout

@capitalweather I saw "trending poorly" and was very sad for about one second. Then i realized it wasnt about the snowstorm :)

This is trending poorly. Kp index down to 7. We want it 9+ for aurora in the DC area. It was 10 just before sunset; unfortunate...

@DegenToonz GM!

stop and say gm. 👇

FT of the @BorgataPoker Main. @olivierbusquet makes the quick fold. Easy??? @pokerorg
