Poker is amazing. One minute you're running deep with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line and the next you're eating alone in the back corner of a Del Taco.

The story behind how Pique and Shakira started dating is gold.
They met at the World Cup when she was doing the opening/closing ceremonies and he was like "When can I see you again?" And she was like "Make the final."
Rest is history.
If Nikita Luther wins the Main Event, she could very well be the next Moneymaker.
Not only would she be the new face of women in poker, but she'd also represent an enormous Indian population that already has a ton of poker momentum.
Poker boom 3.0? I'm on team Nikita.
Hear me out: If you want a great tournament TV stream, you gotta show more than just the final table.
ICM poker is boring to watch over and over again. I wanna see Debbie from Omaha 5x open UTG + call a 3B with Q9o and cooler Alex Foxen in Level 5.
Poker boom 2.0 is coming:
- on TV everywhere
- poker content peaking
- records at all live events
- people want skilled gambling
Operators, players and creators gear up it’s going to be wild!

Flamengo CEO Bruno Spindel has confirmed that defensive midfielder Robert Piris da Motta will be headed to Club América, where he will be a direct replacement for Guido Rodriguez, who left for Real Betis earlier this month.
With Thiago Maia's arrival, there was no place for him.
I asked an unnamed, well-known high-stakes player about randomizers last year at WSOP.
He told me: "For example, sometimes I'll get an ace and won't even look at my other card until the river, unless the board is super wet on the turn. I'll play it like AA or a big ace."
🥴🥴🥴
Exactly one month from now, I'll be firing WSOP Online Event

: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Championship.
If I can get up to 2,000 Twitter followers by then, someone will get a free 10% sweat on two bullets!
Just like this and you'll be in! RT/tag three friends for bonus entries!
@goal
He still doesn't get the credit he deserves. If the rest of his Chelsea team-mates were up to scratch, he would have been considered for the Ballon d'Or by now.
Oh ffs
@bencb789
Maybe bc dudes have been playing for a lot longer, it's not normalized in female circles, and there are a lot more barriers to entry.
Not to mention the constant harassment women often face in live poker, which drives them away.
But "man brain better" sure 🤦♂️
You only get kicked out of a poker room for causing scenes. Nobody has ever got kicked out of a poker room for being quiet and minding their own business.
I don't even have to open the video to know that this is an absolutely garbage take.
@SNY_Mets
Man I'm not one to complain. I'm used to the Mets suffering. But it was really obvious that we needed to open the checkbook for starting pitching this year and we didn't.
This is an unsurprisingly disappointing debut.
I love Brazilian poker so much.
Time banks every table. Bring your own bottle to the table. Guarantees crushed almost every time. Leaderboards for every series. Vape if you want. Incredible, flawless dealers. Unbelievable positive energy every tournament. Great media teams. 👏
Scotty Nguyen invaded the WPT Women's Championship set IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FINAL HAND.
I've literally never seen anything like this. Sleeth limped, Costello raised, and HERE COMES SCOTTY.
Action paused for about 30 seconds. How the hell was this allowed to happen?
I grew up thinking that everyone who played the WSOP Main Event was an absolute rock star.
After I bagged, I immediately housed a pair of microwaved frozen burritos and passed the fuck out in a bed full of crumbs.
Very drunk guy to my left under his breath: "I will fuck you up."
Floor overheard and says: "Was that directed at anyone?"
He says: "Yeah! Everyone!" 😂😂😂
Boom. Third one-round penalty of the day. I fucking love the WSOP.
@LaurenWitzkeDE
Y'all literally alway cherry-pick individual cases for your agenda.
Find a widespread problem and then we'll talk. Shouldn't be that hard to find another 50-100 cases like this if it's such a big deal. Just paste the links.
4 years ago I was driving Uber + barely surviving.
3 years ago my max buy-in was $5.
A year ago I was open-shoving 99 from the BU.
Today, I've bought into a $525 online Brazilian Super High Roller hoping to win the overall series title.
Life is fucking weird. Get your bag 🔥
I can't remember ever seeing anything like this.
Veracruz didn't move in the first four minutes in protest of months of unpaid wages.
Tigres also didn't move for the first min
Tigres then scored two goals. TV Azteca are reporting that Veracruz did not expect Tigres to score.
I lead 3.3M - 2.7M @ 50K/125K.
I limp AQo l, he shoves 44. Flop pairs the board, turn is another over, and we DRILL our Q on the river.
Glad to have got heads-up w one of my friends after this dude knocked me down to 3bbs w 12 left.
I cried for the first time in 10 years.
PSA: It's everyone's social responsibility to stand up to trashy sexist behavior.
We must not only call players like this out on their bullshit, we must urge tournament directors that this is grounds for disqualification + even a ban from the facility.
Abby, you're a rockstar.
Bagged 1.405M (minimum 70bbs) in the Maxx Poker Club Mystery Bounty.
Insane structure! Only 12% of PLAYERS (not entries) made Day 2. Only 9/124 entries bagged.
SCAM ALERT IN PPPOKER AND X POKER, BOT + COLLUSIONS 3-4 players in the same table.
I'm tagging you here so that you can at least comment so that it reaches more people so that they don't fall for this robbery, in this floodplain that is PPPoker I don't expect anything to be
People forget how much of an impact
@JonathanLittle
has had on the poker community.
If you started playing poker in the last few years, chances are that you've watched your fair share of his videos for free on YouTube. He changed the way I think about poker.
Big congrats!
What an amazing feeling!😊🏆
This week was a blast battling against many of the best players in the world and I’m incredibly lucky to win this $25k and the overall
@PokerGO
Cup!!🔥
Thanks for all the love & support, it means the world to me!❤️
I don't understand the point of bankroll challenges. If you're profitable in bigger games, you should just... keep playing in the bigger games?
Anyway, here's me turning a $20 bankroll into $12K.
Ladies and gentlemen: the wait is finally over.
After losing 12x HU for a physical trophy, I have finally taken one down 🙏😭🔥🏆
Congrats to everyone who invested on
@StakeKings
as well!
GOT THE JOB DONE 🥇
Shoutout to
@FarazJaka
and his Final Table ICM Strategy courses on JakaCoaching. These lessons completely transformed my bubble play + end-game in a very short time.
Not the biggest W but one of the most important. I've never been in such control at a FT.
Can't say I'm a fan of poker Twitter nowadays.
Get back to crushers discussing theory + celebrating players cashing big in huge tournaments than grown men w deep pockets acting like children.
End this reality show bullshit. It may be doing numbers but it's killing the game.

Lemme tell you that while you're absolutely 2/3 correct, have you ever tried making chili without adding an ass-ton of paprika?
Side note: I used smoked paprika because I'm not a god damn peasant.

awards for personality of the year id be shocked genuinely whether u like him or not. Just like if you agree. If not him then who ?
Hopefully poker as a whole will finally take strong and immediate action against alleged cheaters after this WSOP $250K Super High Roller.
There's no reason why these legends should be creating chip walls to protect their cards while playing for the biggest cash of their lives.
🇧🇷 What a run!
We cashed 4/9 events in São Paulo, ran super deep, scored insane bounties, + made tons of friends.
19/1,669 R$1K BSOP Mystery Bounty (R$11.1K)
25/1,139 R$1K MAXX Mystery Bounty (R$35.5K)
24/713 R$250 MAXX Mystery Bounty (R$4.2K)
157/1,405 BSOP Main Event (R$4.7K)
$50 satellite ➡️ 5-day cruise + ME seat ➡️ 7th for $3,000.
I didn't win a hand all day and am disappointed after starting 5/9 but I got my first live Day 3 bag.
Now I get to spend some much-needed time with my lady during our last day on the ship. Thanks for the heat 🔥
Over the past week, I got promoted to Lead Poker Editor, I made over $10K online, and I've been crushing as NBC's Olympic Soccer Research Statistician.
What does a permanently homeless guy treat himself with? I already wine and dine myself + I have no need for any more clothes.
Happy WSOP Main Event day! I'll be playing in my first Main Event on Saturday. It's a dream come true.
Growing up struggling in WNY, I never thought I'd ever actually play one day. What an honor. I can't wait.
Leave your best ME tips/strategies + your favorite ME memories.
Final 34 players in this Mystery Bounty on dinner break and this Brazilian poker club owner just offered me to come to his Main Event in August - flight, hotel, and first bullet included.
I absolutely love Brazil. What an absolute dream day. 🇧🇷
In November, I will be leaving New York + traveling around the world for a minimum of 9 months.
I'm taking it upon myself to move forward in my football journalism career + investigate on the ground while living the digital nomad lifestyle.
Hope you enjoy following the journey.
@watke_
He responded to literally every email I ever sent him when I was in school.
I grew up w his Sports Illustrated articles. He was THE soccer guy. THE GUY. I only just got to meet him and thank him for his impact.
Unbelievably good guy and a tragic, tragic loss for the community.
