Lover of poker, life, and nature in all of their beauty and uniqueness. Appreciate the ever changing landscape of existence. Love & Trust.

I would like to put it out there that it is time to release fear and see everything as positively as we can. Even if we don’t know why things are happening the way they are it’s always going to be more beneficial to live from a place of love and trust, for others and ourselves.

Beautiful video my girlfriend captured earlier today of a hummingbird that we refer to as 'Farley' who we have seen on a near daily basis for the better part of the last year's mornings in our backyard.

Super grateful to have run so hot today. Needed to do so, and executed with flying colors - until I ran into my man Ike's flush 😁. Ike is an unbelievably talented player. It's hard to put into words, but he appears as a very formless opponent. When you think he is here, he is.
Andrew Lichtenberger (@luckychewy) will have to spin it back up after taking this beat from @ikepoker. The flush comes in on the turn and Haxton takes down the pot and the massive lead in Super High Roller Bowl VIII! . 📺 - Watch Here:

Big congrats @DannySepiol!. This was the most intense experience I’ve ever had playing poker. Learned so much about myself, and a thing or two the nature of reality 🧙♂️. Very grateful to have run so deep. Thanks to everyone for their support. Received so many kind messages ❤️.
🏆 @DANNYSEPIOL IS YOUR @WPT WORLD CHAMPION 🏆. Sepiol took home $5,282,954 after a heads-up deal with Georgios Sotiropoulos 🤝. @luckychewy (3rd, $2.8M), @Moorman1 (4th, $2.1M), Ben Heath (5th, $1.6M) and @Artur49815308 (6th, $1.2M) 👏. Full Recap 👇.

Mixed emotions today. Loved watching Triton today but also know the poker world lost a legend in Nutsinho. Definitely an OG and innovator of NLH. Taught me a lot about the game both through words and actions. RIP bro ❤️🙏❤️.

Wow 🤩 love hearing logical takes re: poker in the US 🙌.
Online poker is legal in 4 states. The state-by-state rules are variable and push many players to offshore sites. We should clarify the rules and make it legal in all 50 states. US players and companies would benefit and new tax revenues could be used to mitigate addiction.

Gavin made me feel welcomed to the Vegas poker scene when I turned up young, awkward, and shy. He also wanted to give me long odds that I couldn't beat his son in a wrestling match in 10 years. I'd donate to his family anyway but I probably would have lost the bet. Love you buddy.

I feel deeply for those negatively impacted by racism and also for those who are too blind to see that they themselves are perpetuating it. Pain begets pain. Love is always the answer. Here’s to hoping this opens eyes and paves the way to creating changes for the better ❤️🙏❤️.

this man is a gentleman, a scholar, and a stud if I do say so myself.

Loving and liking don’t have to be equatable. You can love someone and still not want to be around them or have them in your life. Love is a state of being, a way of life.

Have always felt poker is a great game to teach a lot of critical thinking, risk management, personal development, etc as well. Also goes to show that luck has its place in life and big picture mindset matters - good decisions don’t always mean you win in the short term.
Video games teach kids how to interact with the world by giving them a chance to practice solving complex problems that mirror real life.

This was easily the most enjoyable final table I’ve ever played. Feeling familial vibes with everyone at it is a unique experience - having known some for a short while and some for 15+ years. In case there was any doubt, Stevie remains my favorite player 😁🙌🙏.
Stephen Chidwick and his third eye Octopi 🐙 patch were UNSTOPPABLE!. @LuckyChewy finishes in 2nd 🥈 for $273,000 in the $25K @PokerGOTour USPO after a super fun battle. TT<AK sealed it before the last of his chips went in the middle here. GG!.

Fear can show us what we're not aware of regarding beliefs & perspective. Reality is richly complex yet also very simple. I'm looking forward to the new year ahead around the corner and deepening my ability to feel peace and calm. No rushing, just living, flowing, authentically.
I would like to put it out there that it is time to release fear and see everything as positively as we can. Even if we don’t know why things are happening the way they are it’s always going to be more beneficial to live from a place of love and trust, for others and ourselves.

@MikeMcDonald89 Poker is unique in that you never truly, definitively, know who is better than who - although lots of circumstantial evidence points you in the direction of knowing. If not for variance poker wouldn't be as popular as it is, so why create something that would remove it?.

@RadaNotSay I used to feel this way but after much thought I no longer do. I understand that this is a completely valid point of view, but from my perspective there are many positives that poker brings as well. It's a game that allows for personal and communal growth through problem solving,.

@PrahladFriedman I think running bad often affects confidence and we can make more dubious decisions as a result of it, especially in close spots. It's also kind of a great time to review/refine your overall strategy because you're less attached to it so it's not all bad to feel that way imo.
