@42Cyc So you’re saying Boston not only drops out of the first round but also the 2nd?

With the NFL Combine officially coming to a close, here is my first 2 round mock draft: (Round 2 in replies)

@TheBradOwen This is the most toxic bullshit social app and look at all of the positive replies from not only legends, but regs. You’ve made a difference, people respect you, and you’re still working your ass off. 🐐can’t lose.

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 🔥🔥🔥

@RyanDivish What’s the crowd looking like? Lots of 9er fans?

Sam Darnold warming up

@GeeScottSr Why is everyone commenting saying something about race? I don’t see anywhere that Gee said anything about race.

When discussing Demond Williams, I can NEVER not see the comment about "make life miserable for him and his family." A comment like that is DEEP ROOTED

@KwadeSays Hahaha softy would do that out of spite wouldn’t he

I really hope Softy goes to the combine in three years to ask Demond about what is says about him being a teammate

@Softykjr Everyone local hates it but the Hawks have been very lucky to not get one of these games for a while. It’s our turn now. Suck it up.

Am I in the minority here or is it just ludicrous to have two NFL teams fly to Australia to play a football game? Especially a big division match up like a Seahawk/Rams game? Play a pre season game there. You'll get just as big a crowd and will market the NFL just the same

@HoodHusky RBs in the NFL have limited time to earn money. He needs to take advantage of it now. I don’t blame him.

No reason you leave Washington for any of these schools if it ain’t about ONLY money 🤝

@TylerPoker @WPT @LVPokerBeau @RayPulford @WynnPoker Wynn runs the best tournaments and has the best staff I have encountered when playing poker. I’m just a casual, Vegas once every two or three years guy but always want to play Wynn first. Sat at the gladiator w/ @LVPokerBeau with no clue who he was, so humble/relatable. Zero ego

I’ve given lots of love to @wpt and their staff for this series already but @LVPokerBeau, @RayPulford and all the @WynnPoker staff deserve a bunch of credit too. Really a premier series and I hope it grows and lasts.

@dawg206 I love the Huskies and Roebuck is a good player but watch the tape. It’s not just numbers. At some point you have to be unbiased and admit how good Oregon is right now and how good their players are. Do I hope they lose every single game? Yes 💯

Only a recruiting site is taking Moore’s freshman season over Roebuck’s

@TampaBayTre Washington rocking some good offensive weapons. Jonah looks faster and more athletic this year, Boston is a very good player, and Williams is playing damn good for a true sophomore. Will be exciting if they keep this up against tough competition.

Denzel Boston: very good player!

@andyholloway Would you recommend adding one of them in place of Maye who is backup to Nix or Loveland who backs up McBride? 3 WR PPR currently rostering CD, London, Tet, Jeudy.

I have Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Elic Ayomanor on basically every single team I've drafted this year. They'll be starters, and perfect late-round adds.

@SalVetriDFS Do you like rostering Ollie Gordon over Charbonet, Braelon Allen, Ekeler?

The best feeling in fantasy: Rostering the guy who everyone scrambles to pick up Week 2. Last year this was Jordan Mason. This year it could be Ollie Gordon or Woody Marks...

@austinabbott 10 team PPR. Judkins and Ollie available. Do I grab one for Bateman?

Show me your Fantasy teams, I’ll rate them

@TampaBayTre Jonah Coleman looks faster. Also think you will be talking about his back up Adam Mohammed next year.

Florida RB Jaden Baugh is an NFL running back who happens to play college football. Pro level pound-for-pound strength and contact balance

@ByronMiralda1 @NFL_DovKleiman This

@NFL_DovKleiman Now tell me how much NIL money he made.

𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart is already shopping for a $10 MILLION penthouse after signing his first four-year, $17M contract.

@padspoker I’m probably wrong but… K♣️ A4♦️♦️ 1010JA♣️♣️❤️❤️ Feels like 1 card is over valued so maybe swap 4 and K 🤷‍♂️

We play this game “Taiwanese” in Bellagio. Help me set the hand, what would you do? Rule: 1 card (worth 1 unit) Holdem Hand (worth 2 unit) Omaha Hand (worth 4 unit) There’s 2 boards, so 14 units total and it’s 3 handed, so 42pts available. How do you set this hand?

@chelcity Change STK to Momofuku. Not the same style of food but STK sucks.

4 full nights in Las Vegas. I have 2 dinner reservations: Pisces @ Wynn and SuperFrico @ Cosmo and 1 brunch reservation: STK @ Cosmo. Do I leave the rest to vibes or add in some more? Side note: should we do a pool day at Aria (staying there) or somewhere else?

@audavidb Crazy that no one clocked Ike immediately and the other hand on the feature. It’s ridiculous.

Guy raises 250k Huck seed puts out a stack of chips. Guy has 12k back. Says I’m not calling until the place clears out on break cause someone might bust and I get a pay jump. I explained to him he’s stealing equity from the people playing. He tells me I’m entitled and starts getting mad. I call clock and he proceeds to bust and get angry with me. This is the bullshit that is going on. And I’m not tolerating it anymore.

@RemkoRinkema Possible they ban him to just to avoid the bullshit.

Line of the night was Kassouf saying he'll come play the WPT in December in Vegas and someone saying at the table, "You know they have shot clocks, right?"

@A_dmg04 I have sleep apnea and when I got a CPAP my quality of life changed drastically. Hoping you get the relief I did.

I did not sleep well, but I did sleep enough. Here’s to hoping we find what’s up!

Sleep study. Wild.
