Turned 35 today. Yay!
In the last few years I’ve started writing down little thoughts/tips/cheat codes about different aspects of life that I’ve picked up along the way. I figured now is as good a time as any to share them.
Please feel free to add you own.
Before the triton million
@BrynKenney
's insta timeline was chock full of chipstacks and motivational thoughts about staying on the grind.
Now it's mostly him smoking massive spliffs on private jets.
Legit hero.
Top five most entertaining hands in poker history?
Off to top of my head (in no particular order):
1. Yang/Watkinson pray off
2. Van den bijgaart folds top two to Wilinofsky
3. Deangelo calls Zamani’s bluff with worse
4. Long hair Ike bluff
5. Beth shack aa
What am I missing?
The year is 2056.
Wsop has been moved from the flamingo to imperial palace 2.
Everyone’s excited for the 35 dodgecoin opening event.
The shiny new robot dealers are having trouble making change out of the pot.
@subiime
is still using the credit card option to pay
People living off poker as their primary income:
What's the max % of your net worth that you've lost in one session? Why did you take that kind of shot? How did you recover?
I've always been a massive bankroll nit so seeing the other side of the coin is super interesting to me.
My favorite people on the planet approach every interaction, large or small, like:
1. it's the greatest thing they could be doing with their time
2. their main goal is to make the other person's life a little better than before
I truly hope that one day I'm described this way.
W/all this extra indoor time, I'm considering taking on around 5 ppl for an intensive coaching/long term backing deal for mtts. I would generally be looking for lower stake players who have at least SOME fundamentals/experience playing online mtts. Just wanted to gauge interest.
Djoker loses two sets 6-4, 6-4
goes in the back for 5 mins
comes back out
only gives up 5 games in the next 3 sets
I NEED to know wtf he was doing back there
#USOpen
It is day six thousand four hundred and thirty two of the hustler debacle.
Joey Ingram talks w/surprise call-in Shaun Deeb, who's upgraded his opinion to "unholy certainty of 1000 suns." Afterwards, Jared Jaffee and a woman with glasses debate over where the clitoris is located.
Very excited to launch our site. We’ve been working on it for a long time and it has perfectly embodied everything we were initially looking for in a preflop study tool.

Considering selling a package to a few of the bigger events this summer, thanking the gods that I can do it privately and avoid the garbage heap that is poker twitter
Todd Witteles: *assaults an old lady*
Todd Witteles: “look I apologize if anybody was somehow offended by that. It wasn’t my intention to hurt her and I would just as likely assault an old man. I don’t even see gender. I just swing my arms around objectively. Furthermore…”
For the rest of the series: If you bust me out of any wsop event, I’ll give you a free 2 month subscription of floptimal. Just ask me after the hand or anytime on here.
If you somehow had the worst of it going in, perhaps I’ll make it 3 months
sitting in lung center and old guy walks in, demands to see a doctor w/o appointment, won’t speak to anyone but a doctor.
Doctor eventually comes out and homie delivers a monologue describing a YouTube video he saw about a secret covid cure that’s appearently been covered up 😂
Several people have pointed out that my hand is suited and hers was of the offsuited variety, and I have to say, I really appreciate this type of ultra high level feedback.
entourage in 2022:
Vinny Chase films a psa with Mcgregor to "fight covid with a proper booster." Drama keeps telling Conor about the "time he went toe to toe with Chuck Liddell." Turtle jumps on NFTs but gets stuck with a $500k of ape punks. E attempts to work it out with Sloan.
Worst kind of poker player has the following traits:
Fast
Tall
Blond (not brunette)
Loud (Pitch/Tone)
Not named Jesse (Tool)
If you match all of these categories then you are probably a real treat to have at parties. 2 of 5 is still bad.
Feel like I’ll spend my entire life trying to be as cool, calm and collected as Alex Livingston naturally is every moment he plays. The fact that he remained that way during such a high stress scenario insanely impressive. Total boss
Anybody that has any of the capitol one cards: how flexible/effective has using miles been for you?
Here is a picture of my dog for ppl who don’t care about this
Launched a brand new channel today! If you love Vegas and want to see some local spots, check it out! (No poker, just having fun exploring the city.) 🥳
If you have kids, get a dog. I have no hard evidence to back this up, but I cannot imagine the unrelenting love a dog shows it’s people wouldn’t rub off in some wonderful way.
If you are constantly outputting positivity, value, and an enthusiasm for learning, there is no stopping you in the long run. It’s the biggest cheat code.
MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO THE ONE AND ONLY
@NormanChad
He thought the white wall background in my stream was a little too lackluster for his taste and send me some sweet artwork to remedy the issue.
You’re the best.
Anderson Cooper: You're talking about encouraging hundreds of thousands of people to come to Las Vegas ... smoking, drinking, touching slot machines, breathing circulated air, doesn't that sound like a virus petri dish?!
Las Vegas Mayor: It sounds like you're being an alarmist!
Trump has somehow framed this as "The left is overreacting to the virus and they tanked the economy" and his cult is eating it up. It truly becomes more impressive every day how little credit he gives his supporters intelligence and how often he continues to be right in doing so
Is this Shulman thing a big spoof to get me to watch more poker go when he “makes his return” in a week? Bc I’ve got news for you I ALREADY WATCH THE MAXIMUM AMT OF SHULMAN THAT I CAN
Me: “My friends waste dozens of hours a month watching sports that bring them no real value lol”
Also me: “this episode of survivor is decent, let’s watch the entire season and all the YouTube reviews before we get out of bed today”
Been thinking about this for a while now. Top 10 cities I would absolutely live in (live in again for some):
1. Melbourne
2. Buenos Aires
3. Tokyo
4. Barcelona
5. Capetown (might be
#1
if not for crime)
6. Panama city
7. San juan del sur
8. Auckland
9. San diego
10. Nerja
Multi-accounting has entered the live domain thanks to neuralink
Coffee is deemed a PED
Late reg lines surpass the Great Wall of China as most recognizable object from space
I have yet to win a bracelet
Expectations lead to complacency. If you’re approaching life from the perspective of a student, always staying hungry to learn, with very little in terms of expectation, you will have a much easier time.
The wsop cafe carries only mentos.
Anyone who is dealt a card before putting out their big blind is shot on the spot.
Short deck events are repaced by craps tables
One bracelet per year is sacrificed to the hellmuthian gods, in an attempt to keep the fires away from the venue
11th in the 6 max, we getting closer and closer. Also hit 600 viewers today which was an AWESOME feeling. Shout out to
@BetOnDrew
for helping make that happen and also for going super deep in the same bracelet event.
On to the next one tomorrow!
There is a severe drop off on the value that money will bring your life. Meanwhile, spreading love in every interaction only increases life value exponentially.
if I went to Outback Steakhouse by myself tonight and asked for a table for 2, then got progressively sadder as the night went on alone, do you think they’d give me my steak for free?
Insane how fast paced and fun wsop time is. Simultaneously sweating
-My own tourneys
-Pieces
-The Knights
-French open/Wimbledon
-Friends deep in stuff
-High roller updates
-the normal stuff (crypto/stocks)
No wonder I always go fishing for 2 months after 😂
The smartest people on the planet aren’t THAT much smarter than you. They have, however, put in crazy amounts of time to understand their body of work inside and out.
