@JeffreyBenson12 Havent thought out numbers but something like 5 in main and 10ish in grandissimo seems good. Still leaves some room for secondary market and action sharing. Could do it with minimum payout % as well.

@bonespoker Yes in some capacity but probably a higher cap given high buy-in number. Did you have a thought?

For any Circa Survivor or potential Circa Survivor players what do you want/think the max number of entries for one individual should be capped at?

@JeffreyBenson12 Would this apply to grandissimo as well?

The maximum amount of people who can be listed on a single payout thru a Form 5754 will probably be updated to five people or less. We believe this helps to provide more transparency as it relates to policing “group/syndicate” entries and potential collusion of teams.

@BigDeal1252 @JeffreyBenson12 Honestly cant think of a worse play in gambling than taking both sides of a week 1 game. Dont think id do that if i had 5000 entries.

@JeffreyBenson12 I just think there's a significant advantage if people are able to enter up to 25 times. People could theoretically take both sides of almost every game week 1. Especially if there are group syndicate entries.

@LastMenPod If christmas is on a sunday, just put the thurs game on a slate with 2 xmas eve games.

How has nobody brought this up sooner. It’s a great question

@TheBradOwen Much respect for maintaining your integrity and turning down the predatory sports/slots money. As for the downswing while trying to learn, it’s almost impossible to become elite at a poker format without being consumed by it. Thats rly tough to do w a family and other interests

I just need to vent a little bit otherwise I feel like I'm going to completely lose what I like about myself... I'm up about a million lifetime in poker, but it's not that much over the course of 20+ years. I'm down $400k from the high point before the 2024 WSOP started. I've only had one complete losing year (last year), but I'm down $100k this year already and I feel like I'm losing my identity and a failure if I don't turn things around soon, especially if I'm not as open about it as I can be about the tough times. I've done pretty much everything in poker except win a major title so I've torched money in mixed games trying to get better and learn/play with the best in small field large buy-in events. This is where the overwhelming majority of the $400k downswing has come from, and it's really not that many buy-ins when I'm playing high stakes events, but I need to talk about it somewhere since there are no vlogs of these sessions. I can always just quit and go back to cash where wins are consistent and easier, but it's enjoyable for me to push myself and I don't want to give up just yet even though it would certainly be better for my mental well-being. I put an insane amount of pressure on myself to try to be the best dad, significant other, poker player, content creator, ambassador, etc. that I can be. It's tough to ever escape or take a break because I fear that if I turn off the machine, even for a short time, I might not be able to turn it on again. There aren't a ton of people who can relate to what I have going on - maybe just 2 or 3 partially and 1 of them WPT made what I consider to be a massive mistake by parting ways with, which leads to me feeling very isolated and just generally not having nearly as much fun as I used to in the poker world. I don't know how much time I have left in this space before I get too burnt out. Time with my family is what makes me the most happy and I don't get to be with them or be there for them quite as much as I would like. My health is deteriorating as well and I just can't keep up at the pace I've been at the last several years even though there are plenty of reasons to keep churning out videos as frequently as I can. I'm incredibly fortunate to be in the situation I'm in. I love being on the WPT team - I don't agree with all of the decisions, but typically they do a lot of cool things for poker and I'm in the position to be able to lose $10ks and not have it affect my life at all. I'm living the dream and my 15 year old self wouldn't believe that I actually made it in the poker industry - I'm on the same f***ing team as Ivey!! Most days I'm super grateful and appreciative. Some days I just want to burn everything I've built down because I feel like a fraud and don't feel like I deserve any of it. None of what I do is that hard or that important and if I started making vlogs in the current climate, I'd likely get lost in the shuffle and wouldn't be nearly as successful. I don't like where some things are headed. I hate YouTube shorts. I hate AI voiceovers. I hate that a lot of people are promoting the game in a way that I don't think is healthy for younger people to see because the approach is that they're content creators first trying to do the most exciting thing and not the most responsible thing. I'm contributing to that now, and it's easy for me to justify blasting off in certain spots to hopefully make an interesting video and achieve certain goals I had when I was a first fell in love with poker in the early 2000s (like winning a bracelet or WPT), but I guess this tweet is my attempt to try to make things slightly better. It actually hurts me to see top level players like Jeremy Ausmus, Seth Davies, and even Chidwick to some extent, make poker content on YouTube/Twitter/Instagram. Nearly all of the poker content, especially from these guys is objectively good for poker, but vlogs used to be something that most top guys shit all over and now we're seeing them with stands and cameras at the table because the major poker companies don't give the best players ambassador roles anymore. I 100% benefit from it - I'm like win the lottery and get struck by lightning on the same day lucky. I just miss how things were back in the heyday and I'd like to see more opportunities for the guys I look up to in the industry - the guys who have actually accomplished a lot on the felt. Also, I hate that Kalshi sponsors the Lodge livestream and I think some gum company does as well that just has nothing to do with poker. It feels weird and even there we've strayed from what made that place special, but I'm optimistic we're going to right the ship. I wish I was there more to help make that happen. One of the few things I'm proud of myself for recently is turning down the opportunity to promote the side gambling games that Gold offers, which would've made me a lot more money. If I didn't do that I would've felt like I've sold out completely. I have no issues promoting poker because I'm an example of someone who's been successful at it, whereas if people are betting/gambling in things they have no shot at winning in the long-run - I just can't be a part of it and don't want to promote it. Let's see what else... Andrew Neeme should be in the poker hall of fame for revolutionizing poker in two massive ways - meet up games and vlogging, which has inspired more poker players than almost everything in the last few decades. WSOP needs to move its Bahamas event to January and stop giving out so many online bracelets. I don't know how you guys don't dislike shameless promotions more. I know that I should get a therapist and I will likely regret tweeting this 🔥🔥🔥

@audavidb @GambleUpPod Do you study/prep before playing a series and if so what does that look like for you?

Questions for @GambleUpPod ? Recording in a couple of hours. Any poker related questions? Obviously we will discuss Super Bowl and our bets and favorite props.

@LastMenPod Another example of AI being clueless, the jerseys got it done for us

AI robots on moltbook are ratting out their owners who struggle in Circa Survivor year after year.

@abarber1 @TheFitnessJurk Think you’d enjoy talking to @SparksRemarks

I've been talking for *months* about doing a podcast where I'd talk to former poker players who left the game for other pursuits. Who are some people that you'd want to hear share their stories? (h/t @TheFitnessJurk)

@LastMenPod @AdamSchefter @tyschmit @bostonanik Lol cmon. He has 1 1st team all pro and outside of 2020 has no meaningful playoff resume.

@AdamSchefter @tyschmit @bostonanik thinks so

After 11 seasons in the NFL, and five years after his heartbreak in Kansas City, Patriots WR Stefon Diggs is headed to his first Super Bowl. Could Canton be on deck? With @tyschmit 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/6xkCSX…

@berkey11 @abarber1 That’s just me honoring the Chief by lighting up a cigar after a big gambling score.

@abarber1 @bonespoker Don't let the Jags jersey in the profile Pic fool you

You can take the man out of Pittsburgh, but you can never take the Yinzer out of the man.

@abarber1 @berkey11 Beaver Co

@bonespoker @berkey11 TIL Bones is from Pittsburgh?

@berkey11 I’d never noticed it to that degree, and my comment wasnt meant to be cynical. Im genuinely looking forward to hearing it in interviews. I may think the football is mediocre but i’ll always appreciate where im from.

@bonespoker Lol have you ever watched him do an interview? He's never lost the accent. Rodgers has talked about it a bunch on McAfee from when he was in GB. I'll give it to you though bones, you're 1000% a typical yinzer with the consistent cynicism.

@abarber1 Id argue that someone betting 5 teamers has a much different profile than someone willing to lose and pay for a 6 person nobu dinner. If he approached me in a way that wasnt asking how i was gonna pay out a bet i won, id be more sympathetic. Id prob just respond with “lol”

@bonespoker He showed me a 5-leg parlay he was sweating and talked about numerous other CCRs he had partaken in!

This is so unimportant in the grand scheme, but… Played CCR with 5 other people for a dinner at Nobu last night and the person that lost texted everyone this morning to say that it wasn’t in his budget and his wife is mad at him, so how would I like to pay him? I would appreciate serious responses to this.

The 2nd amendment is not for hunting, it is not for self protection It is there to ensure that free people can defend themselves if god forbid government became tyrannical and turned against its citizens

@2noodleking @LastMenPod @lastmenproxy Appreciate the apology. It’d be cool if you deleted the dozen or so tweets about me.

@LastMenPod @lastmenproxy @bonespoker My apologies to @bonespoker and the rest of the Real bro crew. I jumped the gun big time and am very sorry for spreading false info. I got more details late last night which I was unaware of and now know I made a big mistake.

Really cool offer from Derek for our neighbors up north. A little more motivation for Canadians to visit in the summer and sign up for Circa Survivor. If you do visit, @lastmenproxy has all your proxy needs.

@2noodleking @DogandJoefund @CircaLasVegas @JeffreyBenson12 @DerekJStevens @Dreamteam7Circa @durbify @MattySaint @PaulMarkowitz2 @KingOfCarseats @jacobsdc1133 @DGFL9 @FightOnSpooky @DaveTuleyProxy @MBuchmiller Again, who the fuck are you?

Did a bunch of interviews personally thanking jeff and tom. Posed for a bunch pics with tom holding our check, etc for promo for his business. we’ve paid out 200k+ in tips + hedges before our checks have cleared

Thank you @CircaLasVegas @JeffreyBenson12 @DerekJStevens @Dreamteam7Circa @durbify @JeffreyBenson12 @MattySaint @2noodleking @PaulMarkowitz2 @KingOfCarseats @jacobsdc1133 @DGFL9 @FightOnSpooky you all believed in me, we had a blessed season. LFG. @DaveTuleyProxy @MBuchmiller @FootballProxy you rock !! @potatokmish @Tonysmarkettips GREAT NIGHT

@2noodleking @DogandJoefund @CircaLasVegas @JeffreyBenson12 @DerekJStevens @Dreamteam7Circa @durbify @MattySaint @PaulMarkowitz2 @KingOfCarseats @jacobsdc1133 @DGFL9 @FightOnSpooky @DaveTuleyProxy @MBuchmiller Looking through my texts to see if @2noodleking has a piece and fuck… its not there. So im confused at why you’re here

@bonespoker @DogandJoefund @CircaLasVegas @JeffreyBenson12 @DerekJStevens @Dreamteam7Circa @durbify @MattySaint @PaulMarkowitz2 @KingOfCarseats @jacobsdc1133 @DGFL9 @FightOnSpooky @DaveTuleyProxy @MBuchmiller Do you have your proxy’s number? And can you not see the confusion without you contacting them regarding why they have received ZERO token of appreciation ?? Who the fuck are you………..
