I just had one of the best poker experiences ever. 28 players played my weekly $100 tourney. My Dad and I got heads up. He asked for a chop. I told him to shove it. And then I beat his ass.
I know it’s silly, but I’ll remember this forever
Solitude experiment. $10,000 to stay here for a month. No neighbors, internet, electricity and cell phone. Enough food and supplies for 30 days. Can bring books and pet. You accept?
My family watched me get knocked out of the
#WSOPMainevent
and sent me a sweet video immediately after. If you thought I looked heartbroken when
@jeffplatt
interviewed me, take a look at Silas
Doug Polk: We’re done. It’s just not working
Poker: please don’t leave me. Please, just give me one more chance. We were meant for each other
Doug Polk: it’s over.
Poker: 😢 😭 😢 😭
.... months later (Poker finally moves on)
Doug Polk: how could you forget me?

One of the most annoying trailers ever was for Castaway where it revealed that he was saved off the island. Why??? Who thought that was a good idea?
Omg I love my wife so much. She started a five-day cleanse this morning. She text me at 9:56 am telling me she was hungry. By 5 pm, she had a beer in her hand and she was baking bread
At my first World Series of Poker, I played at table with Doyle Brunson, the poker player. I was in awe. Years later, I was still in awe when Doyle, the Dad, joined me in the commentary booth to cheer on his son. He’ll be missed by many.

Hey
@elonmusk
since we’re fixing Twitter, here’s something I’d like to put on your to do list.
If I don’t follow someone, I don’t want to see their tweet.
Is there anything better than taking your seat on a long flight and after many moments of concern, finally realizing that YES, the empty seat next to you is going to stay empty
2020 has been a tough year for most of us, my family included. That said, I know how lucky we are.
If you’ve had a tough time financially and you’re not in position to put presents under the tree this year, I’d like to help if possible. Kids should be smiling on Xmas morning.
Everybody
@HCLPokerShow
wanted to continue the show except me. In fact,
@TheRyanFeldman
begged me to stay, the production crew begged me to stay, the dealers begged me to stay and I said No! That’s the kind of power I have. Don’t like it? Too fucking bad
One of my first acting jobs was on 90210. I had the pleasure of meeting Luke Perry... he didn’t know me from a hole in the wall and yet, couldn’t have been nicer. I never got a chance to thank him for making me feel welcome when I was scared out of my mind
RIP
Holy Fuck!!!! I got my kid in bed by 8 pm with pajamas on without a fight or any of us raising our voice ... essentially the same probability as me hitting a one-outer
This made me laugh. Personally, I don’t care if you or the President has ever read the Bible. If it means something to you, that’s awesome.
But, does anyone ... I mean anyone, actually believe Trump has read the Bible???
Just got a phone call from a number that looked just like mine - it was a robocall. I’m going to ban robocalls as President. We have better things to do than have our time wasted. I remember being glad when my phone rang. Times have changed.
It's time for Trotz to start holding the Vets accountable - what exactly is Beau doing here? Possession is the name of the game in OT - 30 seconds into their shift, he haphazardly fires the puck toward the net, overcommits & then glides the last few steps on his backcheck

Small Island Castle 100 miles off shore. No electricity or internet. Just shelter, bedding, books, paper, pen and enough food & water for 30 days. (ur entire stay would be live streamed to world) If you last 30 days you get $40,000. Could you do it?
This is really an amazing accomplishment from this

I've looked at my flush 9x before putting another bet in only to turn my hands over and see that one of my cards was a spade and the other was a heart.
Our minds can play crazy tricks on us at times.
Last nights show
@HCLPokerShow
was one of my favorites to commentate on. The play, the table talk and my co-commentator
@DGAFPokerPlayer
provided the perfect balance of poker insight, banter, and entertainment.
Thanks to everyone involved!

at Rio. Since my first visit in 2009, I estimate I’ve spent 1.5-2 years of my life actually inside these walls.
It’s where I won my bracelet, lost my virginity, met my first wife, & met the woman I’d leave her for before meeting my second wife. So many memories.
