Players will say, "this is freaking unbelievable!"

Almost always, whatever happened was believable.

I'm excited for my Philly poker trip!

Nothing beats stacking up chips super high...

... unless you color up and begin stacking them up high again!

My grandma passed away and left me $5k, which became my poker fund.

I wish she was alive so I could tell her about my adventures thanks to her.

On Sept 10, I thanked some trolls on twitter for elevating me.

Today, I checked my book stats. I sold 10 books since then, with Shuffle Up and Deal With It's sales outpacing A New Queen's Guide to Poker's for the first time.

Heavy-textured pointillism breaks the familiar mold of contemporary pointillism paintings. I feel a bit like Willy Wonka. The difference is Sara O'Connor Fine Art's wonderland is filled with color and...

A few days ago, someone tried to upset me by, among other things, claiming I only sold 18 books on Amazon.

After rebuffing them soundly 💅, that got me curious...

How many books have I sold?! 📚📖

Uber Driver: You're happy this morning! You going on vacation?

Me: Yup, I am to both!

UD: Where are you off to?

Me: LV to play in an online streamed poker game.

UD: Wow! That's unique!

He then launches into a story about his card shark grandma.

Good trip already 🥰

Yesterday at Borgata, no one recognized me from Twitter, so when a bomb pot was announced, I pretended to not know what they were. 😇

Everyone kindly explained them to me. I ended up chopping or winning about 5/7, which feels like an insane amount.

My neighbor said, "Bet you love them now!!!" 🤣🤑

Heading to Ocean City, NJ today to spend some time with my Mom in her happy place.

I'll also be at the Borgata on Sunday. If you see me out and about, come say hi!

Don't punish the limpers to the point they leave the game.

(Raise the F outta them, but no rude table talk, etc)

Agree or disagree?

Today is going to be a great day!

What do you have planned?

If you're hitting the felt, good luck!

What's more low-key annoying than being the smallest stack, finally getting the button, and having your table break only for you to move into the big blind?
July 26, 2025 at 12:18 PM
As a heads up, I'm heading to Ocean City, NJ for a little vacation with my Mom.

I'll likely be playing at the Borgata 2-3 times between August 2-6. Hope to see you there!

Feel free to say hi if you see me out and about.

When someone new to poker asks a question and the whole table helps?

Love that energy.

Dreaming of a deep run

Nothing's funnier than holding pocket rockets, villain saying "I'm ahead" with gusto, and then another ace hits on a rainbow, disconnected flop.
