This app has been going straight down the toilet for a while, but the fact that an account that does nothing but post cute animal videos and brings some joy to this social media hellhole is suspended is quite literally insane.

This is embarrassing.
Can we just quit with getting people like this on streams to get clicks because “they’re entertaining characters”.
They’re not. They bring the game we love and take pride in back to its lowest level.

All right, I’m gonna just say this out loud for the twitter world to hear.
If mixed games are going to grow, grouchy regs grinding the low limit games need to be a lot more patient and welcoming to players trying to learn these games.

Of anyone in poker I’ve ever been fortunate enough to meet or play with, Mike is at the very top of the list.
No one friendlier or more gracious.
He told stories and answered questions from players for 3 hours while he was at my table.
Thank you sir.

Sadly, Sunday was my last day after 20 great years at TSN. I can’t thank those who’ve already reached out to me enough. It really means the world to me. Not sure what else to say, it’ll come in time I’m sure, but for now...

A couple of examples of
@partypoker
adding
@WPT
seats to their daily tourneys.
The $11 Mini Deepstack has a $1050 seat added for the winner, while the $22 Mini Masters has a $3200! seat added for the winner.
Talk about added value!

Vegas and the WSOP was a blast as always, and being home for a week was a nice recharge, but now we’re off again for an incredible trip to

That will be cool enough as is, but then. I’m following it up with a few days of a dream vacay in Tokyo!

Something that drove me nuts working in sports tv was bad chyron boards that wasted time in a jam packed highlight show.
This is an example of a FANTASTIC board!!!
Informative, concise, easy to understand, and adds to/completes the story.

So, I have some unfortunate news.
Some of you know I’ve been dealing with issues getting into the US for work since last fall.
But for the most part, all had been good, until today.
I was denied entry and will be missing the WSOP.
Not gonna lie, I’m pretty crushed. 1/4

Ocean One Bar and Grill at the Miracle Mile Shops is the most affordable lunch spot on the strip and maybe all of Vegas. $5 for the whole menu.
Earl of Sandwich there also a decent option.

Yesterday was one of the most bizarre and best days of work I’ve ever had.
I mean who gets to play a tournament, win the thing, interview himself and the runner-up, and then write their own winner’s recap?
Yup, helluva day at the ol’ Mixed Game Festival.
What a boss!

I’m good thanks.
How about doing something to help your armies of freelance employees that had their jobs “paused”?
To assist Canadians working from home because of COVID-19, we will be waiving extra usage fees for all residential Internet customers until April 30th. This will be applied automatically. No action is required by our customers.

So today’s the last day in Vegas.
Still can’t figure out how to put words together how incredible this past two months have been, so gonna wait a bit.
But for now, gonna run around, hit a couple more rooms, drink a beer or two and enjoy.

Pretty damn good year.
Saw a lot of the world, including returns to cities I love but hadn’t seen in forever (London, LA) and new places I’d only dreamed of (Japan, Paris, Madrid, India)
How about some more in 2024?!

Made it Tokyo.
No pics just yet because honestly I don’t know where to start.
ITS INCREDIBLE!!!!!
As I watched the end of Lost In Translation on the train from the airport, fireworks started going off over the city as I looked out the window.

A little update on the work situation.
Can’t really say much other than the visa application is in and the process has been started.
