Poker is great. Name another profession where you can transform seamlessly from a complete degenerate into a motivational speaker after luckboxing one tournament.

- Replying to @MmisterNobodyIt's an image created by Basquiat and titled "AAAAA"
- If you haven't been following poker for the last 2 years, here's what you missed... - guy cheats people out of 6 figures on live streams while staring at crotch - WSOP completely in the gutter, but everyone still plays - Negreanu paid Polk 1.2m to stop making fun of him
- Advice for Poker Players who score big: - Don't start backing - Don't lend anyone $$ you wouldn't be comfortable asking for a loan yourself - If you learn mixed games, online is cheaper - Start an IRA - Pay your taxes - One celebration, not 100 - Don't forget who your friends are
- Dear @WSOP, You've failed. Investigate this dealer/floor man. Tell your floors they need to be at FTs. Then figure out how much the kid who got third would have received with an ICM after doubling with QT and pay him the difference with third.
- If you're still in Vegas and experienced the false alarm active shooter report, take notice of all the people who were casually sitting at the table while the rest of you were scattering for cover - do not try to bluff them.
- Want to be a "Professional Poker Player"?! Follow these steps: 1. Learn the rules of poker 2. Refer to yourself as a "professional poker player" on any social media Bonus: chip pics, sunglasses, hoodies, headphones. *Being profitable is not required Welcome to our community!
- WSOP is that toxic ex who treated you terribly, but then sends a text (announces dates) and you just can't stop thinking about them. You agree to meet and "catch up", but before you know it, you've bubbled the Main and are stuck $50k w/ 8 BBs left in the Little one for One Drop.
- Set a modest goal to make just $100k playing poker tournaments this year. And even though it's not even September yet, I'm thrilled to announce I only have $145k more to go. Never give up on your dreams.
- Shout out to all the poker players out there who have dogs that they don't bring to the table with them.
- Fine, I'll chime in... - 65% she did not cheat - 99% Garrett should give back the money - 100% HCL should thoroughly investigate the situation - 100% nominate @FarazJaka for GPI product placement of the year award
- Let me tell you how the latest poker controversy ends... - Investigation finds no evidence of cheating - Garrett begrudgingly gives the money back - Ingram disappears until WSOP '23 - The "Math" girl with awful takes loses $50k playing $1/2 live and reconsiders her logic
- Playing the main event 1B. First event of the summer. Worked out this morning. Reg'd level 1. Never been so mentally ready. Drew a great table. Haven't been on the phone at all. Have 6,900 left from 60k going into level 3.
- *Millionaire Maker day 2 - returning from 25 min break* Floor on the microphone: Excuse me, everyone. We have a player who says he smoked so much weed on break that he doesn't remember where his table is. He's got about 450k. <entire room applauds>
