If there's a poker player on your holiday shopping list, please consider this little book. I've tried to level up a bit this year by having the ideas build on themselves from one hand to the next. I believe the result is the most instructive of these yet! a.co/d/hYcyvej

Has a no blind increase MTT ever been proposed? Start with 5bb each, 200 player cap. Starts off as a turbo crapshoot, if you get deep you have lots of play. HU is a grueling deep stacked technical affair. No chops allowed

It’s amazing how quick a poker session can go from “wow it really is my night” to “fuck I hope I can salvage this min cash in the Big $11”

It's rare that I'm proud to be a pro poker player, but seeing how these guys have handled the beats tonight has me feeling pretty close...

If you are one of the greatest poker mind of your generation… you should be in. Kind of shocking what’s going on with the hall of fame I can’t think of people that deserve it more than @scott_seiver or @shaundeeb . They defenetly destroyed all the formats you can play for a long time. @ikepoker is probably one of the most influential guys regarding the game of many. Literally heritage. Same thing with @Moorman1 . He inspired a generation to play online mtt and over that he was a great competitor and great ambassador for decades. All 4 never had a cheating allegation or a money issue or anything. It should not be judged about character. This guys changed the game and beat everyone ass on a daily basis for years and every summer they still beat everyone ass on a daily basis. Stop the nonsense. You not making a favor to anyone to let greatness outside of where it belong. This guys belong there. All of them with the same rights. All of them inspiring some guy from somewhere to start this venture and take it professional. All givers in their own form. All insane competitors in their own form.

Alexander, on call cook for Paris, describes the madness of feeding 2500 burgers in 2 hours to poker players yesterday with an under resourced line. (Typical rush caps out around 400). Told him to check out Kitchen Confidential. Dude is gonna have a long culinary career!

Man I've been watching the USMNT a long time. Here are some little things I've picked up on this World Cup that may/may not be interesting (in no order). Nothing new but it suggests Poch gets this team:

It’s now been 1,000 days since the genocide in Gaza began. I’ll never forget the overwhelming feeling of dread and horror, knowing the hell Israel would unleash on October 8th. Their sadism surpassed my wildest expectations. Free Palestine, always and forever 💔🇵🇸

This is Day 1 of the Main. 300/500 45k eff. BB folds out of turn. I open JJ MP 1200, HJ 3! 3100, SB (who arrived 20 min ago with 17k and said he won’t be here long) snap jams. I ask to see HJ stack and he says “on me oh I call!” I end up folding. SB 77, HJ QQ. J high flop. 🫠🫠🫠.
