So much drama in poker.
I just wanna compete in a fair way, have fun with my friends, and support my local rooms without getting cheated by its owners.
Wait, what?! Oh do I have a fucking story to tell.

- Last year, I headed into Day 5 with a huge stack and a big ego. I thought I can muscle my way into winning every pot and as a result, I punted $100k+ of EV. How lucky am I to get back to Day 5 and to do this the right way? Can’t wait for tomorrow!
- +$120k in cash games in Vegas after my first 2 days here. Continue to lose it all over the next week. Ask me anything. 🤦🏻♂️
- Just soaking in today’s session, possibly my best poker session. From having a strategy for each player type to correctly sizing my bets with my intent in mind. The “one year ago” me would be proud how far I’ve come. In: 5k Out: 26.6k ————- Net: +$21.6k +$44.4k MTD
- Had a convo w wife and told her that this is the happiest I’ve been in years. Re: poker, it never feels like work. I do think I’m playing a bit too much and would prefer to do more creating/sharing. But otherwise, how lucky am I to make a living playing cards? Grateful.
- Busted the Main. $60k! Huge ICM mistake stacking off light with 46bb but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Will work on my game and try again!
- Wholesome conversation at the table… Him: What nationality are you? Me: American…… I’m Vietnamese American. Him: What part of Vietnam are you from? Me: I’m from New York. Him: *names a few Vietnamese cities* …. You were probably too young to remember. Me: I wouldn’t
- Day 6 $60k 🔒 1M (17bb) 202 remaining … and I still haven’t used my “one time” yet. 👀
- Deleting X to limit distractions but Day 5… here we come!
- Replying to @LandonTice1. Get a job that floats my living expenses. 2. Play 50k hands micro stakes and create a database. Be able to explain what you’re doing in all the common nodes. 3. Post online and get backers. It’ll happen. 4. Play part time schedule while working part time. 5. Scale more
- A few years ago, poker players made content for the love of the game and a way to express themselves. They didn’t get paid. Many were made fun of. It’s hard to do something on the internet, to face daily criticisms, and to motivate yourself to do it again… with no specificScreaming, crying, throwing up 🤮 beyond proud to announce that I’m joining @PokerStars as Ambassador. Thanks to everyone who supported me on my journey to this moment 😭🥰🤘
- Baby is here! Louis Ace Nguyen was born Dec 2024. 2 young kids not for the weak, but have enjoyed an extended break with the family. After a 2024 'best year' in poker, I'm ready to get back on the felt.
- Whale leaves. 3 people leaves. Wack. Come prepared to battle. And if you’re a pro that immediately racks up, show some class and at least wait a little.
