Average @NBA salary $11.9m Average @NHL salary $3.5m This all will change after yesterday. Both leagues going in completely diff directions.

lol as if all star weekend is their only issue?

Now I want to buy a @Tesla more than ever!!

You obv didn’t watch yesterday

I understood the assignment

What an absolute surreal day! President Trump exceeded any & all expectations! Classy, respectful, personable & can golf his ball!

If you spot someone using a solver real-time, say something, just like this guy did today at @WPT Gardens. What is the penalty for this @wsop @Kevmath. It’s my understanding that this player received NO penalty

Speechless

For those that missed it, I'm happy to announce, we had twins

Best day of my life

He did it! Daniel @RealKidPoker Negreanu wins the SHRB for $3.3m and delivers over $800k to his @PocketFives investors!

The carpet in this hotel is really nice

Just your weekly reminder @RealKidPoker & @phil_hellmuth that I'm WAY better than both you guys.

I have friends texting me condolences about my 3rd place finish, thinking I’m upset…..LOL, I’m estatic! I won $600k week 1 of @wsop in NL Holdem of all games. Wait til we have to play a game I actually know how to play! :)

Decent day off…. @rachelblucky I promise I won’t degen today

"May all your cards be live, and your pots be monsters" -Mike Sexton Rest Peacefully my man!

Maybe @gmanpoker knew she had Jack high? Maybe he’s the one cheating? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just thinking outloud here, but if I go in there and deck Kasouff, I’d be a hero and also save about $70k in remaining entry fees this year…..win-win

Message for you president Trunk

If you ever watch a poker hand, watch this hand! Most interesting hand I’ve ever seen!

Is this a good hand in PLO

On my way how from seeing the Packer game in Green Bay and this lady is in front of me

We’re all fucked when this guy finds poker

This puts a big smile on my face! Good luck @TexDolly , I hope you crush!

What's ketchup without a little mustard

This is the guy that the left just murdered. RIP Charlie. Thank you for your mission. I spent many hours watching you debate using logic and kindness. Prayers to your wife and 2 beautiful kids.

I keep seeing ‘is Will Kasouff good for poker?’ I think we already knew that reality tv, drama and train wrecks are more interesting than poker. Does that mean that we want to mix it into the great game that we love? If you wanna watch some idiot have a mental breakdown and show his ss, watch Netflix, not poker!

Reverse cheating story. I had been hearing that the local Atlanta game was getting big. People winning/losing $30-40k a night, playing 4 nights a week. I made a few calls and was able to give up 25% of my action and got in the game. The game was $25-50 plo w/ optional straddles. Fast forward about 12 hours and I’m $70k in the game with about $12k in front of me. Get allin with a wrap vs a set and obv win the flip. Another 12 hours later we are still playing 3 handed and I’ve turned it around, I have $210k in front of me, for a profit of $140k The table is kinda messy, the credit pad, a couple decks of cards and all the chips that previous players had cashed out were covering one end. The 3 of us were seated at the other end in the 1,2 & 4 seat. One player got up, grabbed one of the other decks (that we weren’t playing with) and says “wtf is this? I know what these are!” It was an rfid deck w the barcodes on the edges. at this point, I WAS THE ONLY WINNER in the game. The deck was planted there somewhere along the way, I was too tired to notice. I count my chips and leave, thinking this has nothing to do with me, they can sort it out After a couple weeks of back and forth, the game runner said he can’t pay me because no one will pay off. We’ve come to the conclusion that you were the one cheating. Luckily there was one honorable guy that knew it was all a scam and paid me $31k that he lost. I always knew I had to look out for being cheated, I never knew to beware of being accused of cheating and stiffed! Moral of the story….Home games are bad

Headed to Cherokee for some poker action....is this too much? I have my POY Bracelet on my other arm. I'll be revealing it soon :)

Couldn’t be happier for this guy. I’ve learned so much from Daniel in our 25years competing against each other!

Feels like this prick Kassouf has cracked the code. New rules need to be written. He was jealous of the attention Kahbrel got earlier in the series….

Run good continues! She said yes!!!

Long, but great gambling story. This was the last time I was broke, and everything could be so different, had the outcome been different (1/2)

Takin few days off from pokering. My kids just got here & it’s unsafe for them to be at @wsop because there’s no tellin what @RealKidPoker will do next. Keep woman & kids away from Daniel!!!! Watch Dnegs vlog today! It’s a good one. I think ‘goin’ Bonomo’ has a nice ring to it

3*

There are 10k people in the US worth $100m There are 42 million people on food stamps in America Is ‘taxation on unrealized gains for people worth >$100m’ really the policy that bothers you the most? Those people worth $100m+ are gonna be just fine

Hey @SuddenlyBryce should I stay pat? Too soon?

Playing the 50k w durrr, he mentions how much he hates the big nl fields because of the tanking and staring....I had to intercede, “you can thank yourself for that Tom”

Operation: Save the Poker World from 2 @phil_hellmuth banners has begun!

So my 17 year old Maddie got in some trouble this week and I grounded her for the first time. She gave me my Xmas present tonight, with it, was this poem. What should I do

Proud of the work I’ve put in the past year! Less than 30 days til I marry my favorite person! Then time to win some poker tournaments!

No matter what happens in this @berkey11 @nikairball match, Matt & his crew are def the winners here…. The losers: Nik is a confirmed goofball. @DougPolkVids has confirmed he could care less about what people think and would sell his soul for clicks!

It’s amazing the difference of eating decent and learning what the inside of a gym looks like, will do!! This one year ago vs today.

I’ve spent most my life not believing a word that politicians say. Nothing I love more than seeing these rotten thieves squirm, knowing that checks and balances are headed their way. If they’ve stolen our money, we about to find out!

"She's gonna give it all to me" says the guy with $3k in front of him to the player w/ $800k stack

Guy at my new table just pulled a bottle of Don Julio 1942 out of his backpack and took a swig like it was water.

Holy shit! I can't believe this really happened! I fkn won @wsop POY....what in the actual fuck!

Everything is going as planned this summer

What are we supposed to do w/out 30 min of @RealKidPoker every morning?

4.7 million were Netflix subscribers that were frozen in a buffering screen

Storytime: we made the turn and there were construction workers building the upcoming LIV Tour grandstands. Mr. President walks thru the mud and hands a guy $300 & says “Enjoy lunch today guys, thx for your hard work.” No press, no cameras in sight!

One of my fav gambling stories. I’m 18 year old poolhustler w about a $1k bankroll. There’s been this high roller from Fla in town regularly losing huge $ playing pool and every weekend we drove from pool hall to pool hall to look for him. He was easy to spot because he drove a brand new Acura NSX. After weeks of stories i finally found him at a late night bar that would let me in as long as I didn’t drink. A local hustler set up the game for me but I had to give him 25% of the action. This guy gave zero fucks, he just wanted to put on a show. We started at $100 a game, but every time I’d win a game, he just wanted to play for more. This was the first time in my life that I saw cocaine. It was about 4am, the bar doors were looked to gen public, it was only the gamblers in there, all hoping I’d quit so they had their chance at Steve. Between games he’s doing lines off the bar stool, without a care in the world. At about noon the next day the stakes had made its way to $2k a game. (When I walked in the bar I had $500) I was up around $28,000. We battled for around 48 hours with him making a big comeback. I was afraid of taking drugs to stay awake, so I faded after around 40 hours. I said last game when I was up 4k. He was about to break the balls and he looked up and said ‘so kid, what’d you buy’ without hesitation I said ‘a brand new Honda prelude with teardrop rims’. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Never lose focus, never count the prize until you’re done. I ended up winning 2k, didn’t get my Honda Prelude and never got in action with him again. Over a 2 year period, he lost about a million dollars playing pool in Atlanta. I got 2k of it :(

I hurt Phil's feelings last week, and it's really been bothering me. He blocked me, so someone let him know about this

I AM 5

This fkn guy!!! The stories these kids are gonna have forever are amazing!

Fun Fact: I was told I had ADHD decades ago. I spent 15+ years on adarall. In 2019 I quit adarall and followed that up with 3 of the best years of my life professionally and personally. Stop convincing yourself that you need adarall to succeed!

The agony of defeat is wearing off. I’m feeling proud of my accomplishments so far. This puts it in perspective. Last year in the @wsop run of a lifetime, I cashed for $1.2m….. in 12 days this year, I’ve surpassed that amount….. things r GREAT!

Recently read a post from someone, complaining how expensive traveling for poker is (he deleted it since), and it really has me reminiscing about my early days. One thing I did on virtually every trip….check bags at bell desk, Play all night the first night, to save 1 nights hotel fee. I was young and full of energy. I had the “I’ll sleep when I die” mentality. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone, I just thought I was cheating the system 🤷

please share. Gavin loved life, loved his kids and really loved poker. he leaves behind 2 boys that he had full custody of. Lets show his kids just how great the poker community can be! gofundme.com/rip-ol039-gavin… via @gofundme

Turned 49 today. I’m in the best shape I’ve been in, possibly ever…. I highly recommend making a $100k weight loss bet and marrying a smokeshow! It’s all the motivation a lazy guy needs!

For all those folks that plan on leaving @america after a Trump win Hit up my guy @FlyFlatAlex for great first class rates

Anyone in the comments that says “this is technically a 5”…. Please lose my number, we’re never golfing, never gambling, never anything.

David Diaz just made the best fold in @wsop history

What time and channel is @TheView on….. asking for a friend?

Man! What a day

“Wow, you’re tight af”

Somehow she talked me into getting up a 2am to drive 1.5 hours, hike 2 hours and catch a 6am sunrise! It was well worth it

Current odds on @phil_hellmuth playing the main event. YES -480 NO +400 Odds on some sort of ‘theatrical’ entrance YES -10000 NO n/a

Live shot of @chamath testing all the entrants before his new poker tour kicks off.

Isaac, I’m sure you’re the last person stoolies want to hang with as well!

Should prolly just quit @wsop and play VP. Had $200 in my pocket and stuck it in this machine. GOTTEEEM

All you nits need to take a look in the mirror and ask yourself “why do you assume there was a deal?” Secondly, if there was a deal…..ITS NO ONES FUCKING BUSINESS!

This whole pronoun thing really tilts me. I’ve never introduced myself with my pronouns “Hi, I’m Josh, my pronouns are He and asshole, nice to meet you” WHY? WHY does someone need to know my pronouns when meeting me?

The heater continues. The Clinton’s flew in for lunch today! Thx @BillClinton !! Great to see you

Had seperate conversations w two seperate hotel employees here in Bali 1, a butler. Me “have you ever been to USA? Her. “Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to get my Visa approved so I can visit” 2 a driver, when I asked him, his reply, “I wish! I would love to be able to see USA!” When i bitch about who our next prez may be, I will have a little more perspective on just how lucky I really am. I was born in the USA

In case you were worried about the state of poker, I’m the second youngest person at my $3k 6 max table, and I’m old AF

New banner coming soon!

I think it’s time for the powers to be to make rules that will save this game we all love. 1. Shot clocks from start to finish. Amateurs don’t tank. 2. Stop players from hiding their face.

Amazing! At the ripe age of 73, the @WSOP 🐐 @phil_hellmuth is still getting it done! Huge congrats Phil!

This sums up my Twitter feed

Did anyone else wake up wondering what time the Kassouf show starts? I think I’ve flipped to the darkside 🤷

All my friends came to rail my @Wsop final table

The correct answer is @Ali_Nejad & @NickSchulman

Voted today….. who you think I voted for?

One of the ugliest and most damaging personality traits anyone can possess is the inability to take responsibility for their own actions. The probability that we’ve all been grifted grows exponentially…every.single.day

Here's proof

Why is it so shocking to people that a bunch of degenerate poker players play the lottery? This is like 216th on my list of bad bets

Rachel asked me to list 5 things I’ve done this week -$75k in sports -$2800 video poker -$6600 so far in the @PokerGOTour mixed series -forgot to pay my CC bill But I did get 256 likes on a tweet How’m I doin’ @elonmusk

More reminiscing… Year: 1996 Bankroll: $2500ish I was finally 21 and could stop using my brothers I.D to get in the casino. No better time for my 1st Vegas trip. Booked my room at Binions for WSOP and me and my buddy couldn’t get there soon enough. Threw my bags in the room and went to check out the action. @themouthmatusow & Scotty Nguyen were playing $20-$40 limit Holdem and I got on the list. Sparing the details, I blew $2000 of my money and had $400 left to last 4 days :( I don’t remember the rest of the trip, most of it was spent in my hotel room :(

Been in the game 30+ years. Here’s 3 tips that can help you stay around for 30 years (besides getting V lucky) no particular order. 1. Be a sponge! Surround yourself w people you look up to and admire. Mirror their actions, learn from them! Ask questions! LISTEN! 2. Your integrity is all you have when you go to bed at night. Keep a clean reputation that you can be proud of. I sleep good at night knowing that I’ve kept a clean slate for 30+ years. 3. Learn to drown out others opinions of you. Be confident in what you do. Evaluate others opinions of you and react accordingly. Remember this…. Others opinions of me are none of my business!

In 1997 (I was 22)I flew to Vegas for what was supposed to be 5 days for the @WSOP, I brought my entire bankroll, $3000. Went straight to binions, threw bags in my room, then sat in a 20-40 limit Holdem, went broke. Flew home early. #toomuchgamble #myfirstwsop

Nothing worse than having some GTO kid spend 20 seconds then look up at the clock to randomize his action vs Elmer the chicken farmer from waynesville NC. The life of a grumpy 49 year old @wsop circuit grinder…..

Just here to say, I absolutely LOVE the @wsop grind! Bring on the 14 hour days. Bring on the 25 year old young bucks that play GTO ‘perfect’ I live for this shit! Seeing people yawn and complain about the long hours is pure gasoline thru my veins!

One of my favorite poker pictures I’ve been in! @notontilt09

Real or nah

I’ve decided who I’m voting for…..whoever Bonomo ISNT voting for!

Another weird thing I do everyday when I awake is try to guess the exact time before I check the clock. Does anyone else play that silly game?

Part 2/2

Ok here’s another Year: 1994 Bankroll: $250 (yes, every $ to my name & no job) The biggest gambler in the pool room was a guy that owned a carpet cleaning company and he played a little better than me. I learned early in my career, the best way to make a big score is to take the worst of it. 1/🧵
