The first extended except from my Harry Reid bio is out! Thanks to @TheAtlantic for publishing it before the book comes out Tuesday.

In his opening remarks, House Ways and Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) commits to reversing the gambling tax back to a 100% deduction by the end of year. He blamed the Senate for adding the language. @TheNVIndy

This new amendment to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act would end professional gambling in the US and hurt casual gamblers, too. You could pay more in tax than you won. Contact your representative quickly.

Snacks and smiles were elite.

28k reasons to use our fancy coffee machine? I tease…

Sending all the positive vibes and big congrats to @mkonnikova. Well deserved and such an incredible milestone for her. She’s beauty, grace and she can write too!

For the win! Gold!! Was looking all summer for them, so happy to find in Paris and see them hold up. 💕

@WSOP had stated that the invitational TOC will be "during the 2024 WSOP at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas." They've just announced that instead it will be before the WSOP, in Los Angeles. How should the WSOP compensate players for this late change? wsop.com/news/2024/Mar/…

All 99 structure sheets of the 2024 @WSOP Bracelet Events are now posted at wsop.com/tournaments/ Anything that needs a correction is appreciated

Kindness matters, always & in any industry. We have had some tough conversations & sad days recently but I remain optimistic about the future of the Indy & their mission, especially w/ @RalstonReports leadership. It’s been inspiring to see him develop & lead in good times & bad.

@RalstonReports never forgets about the people and the lives behind the work. EDITORIAL: No Excuse for Having No Empathy washingtoninformer.com/local-news-lay… via @WashInformer

Fake news.

Kristen Foxen (@krissyb24poker) closes it out in the PGT Kickoff finale! Foxen controlled heads-up play and defeated @RealKidPoker to take the title and $165,000 top prize. She also collects 330 PGT points to move to second on the PGT leaderboard. 📺 - Event Replay: bit.ly/PGT-KICKOFF-20…

A tough conversation for amateur poker players, professional poker players, poker sites & ambassadors and myself!

@ChancesCards I am not sure if I fit your definition of good or agro but when I decide to play, I play to win. Just finished 131 in the prime and feeling warmed-up for the 10k this Friday. I’m locked in. I’d consider selling % for the coaching opportunity. LMK. 🍀

Anyone good OR agro that is selling last minute to the WPT 10k? My buys also come with coaching if you get deep enough 🤷‍♂️

Please save the date ✨12/8✨ for another Mimosa 🥂 MUG @WynnPoker! We have lots of splash pot prizes once again, including $1100 @WPT seats and gear donated by @RunGoodGear and @FadedSpadeBrand ♠️ More info to come as the event gets closer, stay tuned

Given the rapid pace of technological advancements in poker, is there still a place for anonymous sites? #PokerOnline #PokerNews #Poker 🃏 Watch today's episode now! 👇

So deserving and so proud of you.

Great to see such a powerful company in the poker world working intelligently toward a better future. My feeling on everything "good for the game" has been that we need to create win-wins if we want to accomplish something at scale. While @GTOWizard surely will have incurred some costs and lost some (cheating) customers from this, I think it will pay off for them in the long run for several reasons. In addition to the goodwill, they've leveraged their existing software to create an additional revenue stream by going B2B. @wpt_global and WPN pay to bring GTOWizard on to help with game integrity (unsure if it saves or costs them compared to more internal GI staff), and they get positive PR from it now and in the future by being on a list of GTOWizard-monitored sites. Whenever we come up with ideas of largely volunteer-based do-gooding for the poker world, I have low expectations about it coming together and lasting. I hope others continue to find ways to grow and protect the game through mutually beneficial arrangements like this.
