The #WSOP is the truest grind we experience as live pros. I have so many memories from the past 16, but none as vivid as finding out my mom OD'd. I can't explain why it comes to mind as the Main approaches, but I find myself, again, revisiting that moment. https://t.co/tzxRNhFZ2s

Heart of gold and the soul of a saint; imprisoned in a sinner’s body, led by a faulty mind. This was my mother’s war. Day in and day out she fought a losing battle against the demons de…

I think this speaks for all of us in one way or another.
There's an incredibly large amount I've thought about saying re: No Limit documentary, but I'll try to keep it on the shorter side (of still very long)... I believe my poker content consumption is in the very high 99th percentile, and has been for multiple decades now. The hype

Scrap all these documentaries, scrap the repeated narratives, scrap AI amendments, scrap the cringe fest self love ins, scrap it all. Bring us back Worm, bring us back Mike McD, bring us back Joey Knish, bring us back Teddy KGB. It’s time, bring us Rounders 2.

Ben nails what most long time insiders have agreed upon for a decade. We had our "Queen's Gambit moment" & that's why poker is even as popular as it is today. It's OK that we aren't Golf, Nascar, F1, or Tennis... Sports are visually stimulating, while we have no moving parts.
The poker boom is not coming back. It was fueled by a dream that has been killed and dissected, deliberately. That an everyman had a puncher's chance to get in the ring with the "best in the world" and emerge triumphant and rich.

Absolutely amazing to see Kennywood Park in #Pittsburgh lit up on our helicopter flight last night. You really get a perspective on our extensive and impressive the display is, as seemingly every corner of the park is cover. Just an absolutely incredible view.

Hot take: I’m a big fan of the 6 7 trend. It allows every kid to be a part of the “in group” and that’s a very rare phenomenon. I actually think it’s perfect that it has no meaning so it’s not offensive to anyone. A meaningless joke that makes kids happy. What’s wrong with that?
