"Hey, that guys a poker player"
"No he's not"
"He is"
"Oh, well that's why he's riding the subway"

Nick Schulman is back on the call for the 2026 World Series of Poker!
Last year’s Poker Hall of Fame inductee returns to the booth for poker’s biggest stage, the Main Event, this year on ESPN.
One of the sharpest minds in the game. One of the best voices in poker.
Happy to have you back, @NickSchulman.

@ScottBunn I’d take 10% if available, following @AdamHendrix10 advice

For $650 you get 5% of a 12-event WSOP package built around high-volume NLH bracelet events + the Monster Stack this summer. ♠️🏆
If you’ve got questions or want to see the full package + Hendon Mob, the DMs are open.

New: UFC President Dana White has sent a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to help reverse the 90 percent limit on gambling loss deductions for US taxpayers that became law last year.
The issue has been a concern for both bettors and the gambling industry itself.

Anyone who thinks the new tax law will result in more revenue for the govt is completely delusional cnbc.com/2026/04/21/pro…

I’ve enjoyed all the Rushmore discussions I’ve listened to, this might be my fav.
RUSHMOREonX@RUSHMOREonX
Doris Kearns Goodwin and Jon Meacham join Ari and Ben to debate which historic figures deserve to be on the Mount Rushmore of U.S. Non-Presidents. Legacies examined. Impact measured. History debated. But only 4 will be etched in Rushmore history. HOW'D WE DO?

Appreciate @repdinatitus taking an interest in reversing this unfair tax on gamblers. It’s a lose-lose proposition that makes no sense from any perspective
Dina Titus@repdinatitus
I spoke with poker legend @Erik_Seidel about the negative impact of leaving the tax deduction for gambling losses at 90%. Despite what some of my colleagues like @SenatorLankford believe, inaction will have serious, concrete consequences on the gaming industry and economy across the country including Oklahoma which has over 140 tribal casinos. It will also force gamers to pay taxes on income they never earned which is just unfair. If we don't get this fixed, many gamers will face a difficult choice of whether they can afford to play or not. #FAIRBETAct

A new tax law could devastate Nevada gaming. Can Congress repeal it in time?
@HowardStutz & I spoke to @RepDinaTitus, @DerekJStevens, @Erik_Seidel & others on why a change that will tax players on "phantom income" hasn't been undone—and when it could be.

I spoke to Poker Hall of Famer @Erik_Seidel about how new gambling tax laws might force him into semi-retirement.
"I love the game of poker. I don't want to stop playing. And so it is a bit frustrating to be forced to not play these events."

Well said!

A decade in poker taught me something I didn’t expect: The real value of the game isn’t the money. It’s the skill. Decision-making under pressure with equanimity. Strategic thinking with incomplete information. Agility in ever changing conditions. Asymmetric risks with huge upside. Tournament poker is basically founder training. Maybe only 10% cash. And within that 10%, only a small fraction hit significant wins. But we chase the top spot anyway. For the love of the game. As @demishassabis recently said, games like poker are microcosms of life. The advantage is that in poker, you get to run the simulation thousands of times. That’s iterative compounding. Look at @BenbaLamb, who hit 10-figures of volume on his crypto casino, @yeet. @PrimordialAA went from online poker to founding LayerZero, now a multi-billion dollar protocol. Or @catehall, who founded Alvea during peak COVID and brought a vaccine candidate to clinical trials faster than any startup in history. Poker is zero-sum. But we can and should play positive-sum infinite games with those same skills. (Nod to @komorama + the resonant computing manifesto) Your time in poker isn’t a sunk cost. It’s an investment in who you become. And (hopefully) what you build. The 2026 tax change makes professional gambling impractical (sorry @Erik_Seidel). Combine that with what AI makes possible, the only real fence left is the one you build around yourself. Take the biggest asymmetric risk you can make. Bet on yourself. And bet big.

Very concerned about the tax change next year. It’ll put me in semi-retirement. Open to any opportunities, especially if it involves traveling to new spots. DM here or on IG

Nice to see Iranian film It Was Just An Accident getting a lot of Golden Globe love. Most courageous movie I’ve ever seen, hope it gets the audience it deserves

The claim was it would raise 2b in taxes from gamblers. Of course this is a complete fantasy & will cost gov tax revenue. The economic impact on all the people/businesses gamblers support will be huge
TonyDunstTV@tonydunsttv
Of course I support congresswoman Titus in her efforts but I don’t think the bill will be amended this year. I’m just guessing, but I’ve asked many peers about their plans going forward, so here’s how I see it playing out for different types of poker players next year 👇
