After not watching or playing a hand for over a year, recently my mindset has shifted: I miss the competition. I miss the strategy. I miss taking souls. I miss gambling—telling the dealer “1 time” vs my nitty pro opponents. I miss poker. And I’m ready to battle. DMs are open.

The moment I was very likely cheated in the J4 hand, my professional life was always going to be forever altered. I’ll live w/ some peace at least knowing the $135K will be in the hands of a great cause. I don’t know when I’ll choose to play poker again.

Streaming brought new ways to cheat at poker. Garrett Adelstein thinks he was a victim of one.

Pro poker player Garrett Adelstein risked his reputation, and maybe his career, when he accused another player of cheating him in a $269,000 hand. The clip, and the controversy, quickly went viral.

As content creation has exploded recently, so too have poker livestreams. From the epic things @HCLPokerShow is doing to bring these 2 spaces together to the impressively revamped @LIVEattheBike , the future of poker is awfully bright! Been a privilege working w/ both groups.

I may not have the heart or bankroll to abuse my phone in this manner, but make no mistake: I too fantasize about breaking shit when things go poorly at the table. I try to remind myself that poker is such an incredibly hard game. And I give myself permission to be in pain.

Totally agree with @padspoker take on @RealKidPoker needing to buy a new camera @WSOP - seeing the big ambassadors show they really care fires me up 🔥 *the guy that said “I think he lost It” also makes a good read ✅KTF Rob @koumanpoker @PokerNews

Pro tip: Stop trying so hard to sound like a pro at the poker table. There are better ways to overcompensate for your average penis size. Instead of range, 3bet, blocker, frequency, solver, and EV, try: “I put you on ace face, a power pocket” etc or just talk about ANYTHING else.

Please don’t be that guy that waits until it’s your action to look at your holecards. If someone can pick up something, you’re already dead anyway. If this action is followed by a tank and then fold when it’s 0-1 raises in front of you, just know you are never getting into heaven

1/2: I was heartened reading the details regarding several security measures HCL has implemented. Security vulnerabilities are THE existential threat facing the poker livestreams we all love, and thus these updates are a win for everyone in our industry.

Now that the investigation has concluded, we want to address the numerous inquiries about Garrett and his future on the show. Simply put, HCL is open to having @GManPoker back.

Played the main event for 2.5 days. Had a lot of fun as always! Biggest takeaway though was the strong correlation between the many entitled & delusional players and how poorly they play poker. I felt sad to see so many people living with so little peace and such poor mindsets.

The only thing better than brutally misplaying several recent big hands is getting the judgmental wtf text from my dad 🤦‍♂️ linking the inevitable YouTube videos showcasing how bad I am at the only thing I’ve done with my life. Poker is an endlessly humbling and heartbreaking game.

I’ve excited to cross paths with @GmanPoker one of the most feared and respected cash game players ever. We’ve never played a hand of poker together before today. Tune in at 4pm today if you want to see some HUGE pots and fireworks. I’m going to bring the heat.

About to head home from Miami after a rather epic trip celebrating my best friend’s wedding! Did I miss anything in poker over the weekend? Any games viewers wished I had hopped in? 😜 Looking forward to playing the streams the next couple weeks before EDC then Iceland.

For those who know NYE resolutions are a joke, who refuse to make excuses for their shortcomings in 2019, those who dedicate their minds & lives to being uncommon amongst the uncommon, those on lifelong quests to be HARD MOTHERF***ERS (Goggins), I see you. 2020, let’s get it!

At my best, I’d recognize that I was hurting, giving myself the permission/self-compassion to allow those feelings. I’d then remind myself of the many reasons why I’m built for this/why it’s worth it to continue to execute, noting how hot I run in all the ways that truly matter.

@GmanPoker because I am genuinely curious… What would your internal voice been telling you, had you lost that $400,000 pot? I’m unaware of the impact it would have to your bankroll (probably minimal obviously), but would your stomach be turning?? Please elaborate!

Iceland has been mesmerizing, each hike seeming more incredible than the day before. It’s a truly breathtaking country with outrageously kind people. In other news, after years of sitting completely on the sideline…Catch you all in 2075 to reevaluate my investment!

My 1st streamed poker game in nearly a year, couldn’t be more grateful or excited. Although an uncommon view, poker is responsible for so much good throughout my life and nearly 20 years later, the love affair continues. Shout out to those of you chasing (or living) the dream!

Never been a “fan” of any poker player with exactly 1 exception: @philivey . So many topics from his great @Joeingram1 interview were so insightful/relatable: What truly matters, avoiding selfishness, philanthropy, emotional availability, sobriety, and putting in the work. Legend!

Surreal week playing on High Stakes Poker, easily my favorite hour of the week as a viewer for years. Even in my most ambitious of fantasies, I never envisioned I could land here. Somehow the stakes only get bigger the rest of the week, so inevitably I will run very very hot ☀️

At the risk of continuing to make a big deal out of something that I consider inconsequential, this excellent video summarizes my thoughts on the situation flawlessly. The worst thing Dylan has done in the hours I’ve played with him is constantly berate almost every other player.

Decided to come out of slowroll retirement since I was the one commentating the hand on the @HCLPokerShow live stream from Friday. Here is my take on the $186k slowroll to @GmanPoker . A true blueprint in poker professionalism
