I had an amazing time filming with my Grandpa to kick off my new series called 1 on 1 with Kai. In the video, everyone gets to see the bond we have, especially on the golf course. This is my favorite video I have filmed so far and holds a lot of meaning to me. I hope you enjoy this very special video. Out now on YouTube!

Poker players used to want to hide how good they were so they could get action, and many cash game players still do.

Tourney players are different, and wanting to be seen as a winner feeds the ego.

Tourney players seek validation while most cash game players seek money.

“I play for money. My kids eat” -Joey Knish

Why else would you care what people thought of your game, if not for ego?

Wouldn’t it be financially beneficial to you to be underestimated?

Why would you care if people thought you were a loser?

It’s ego.

The more fragile your ego, the more you care.

And I say this from personal experience as a tourney player for three decades.

In my 20’s I cared too much about what others thought, to my own detriment.

In my 30’s I didn’t think I cared as much, but I still did.

Once you enter your 40’s and beyond, hopefully you get past that and gain the freedom of not caring at all what others think about your play.

With age comes wisdom.

If I said to you, “I think you are a losing player” and it bothers you, ask yourself why?

Why do you care?

Why does it trigger you?

If you take a deep look at the “why”, you will likely find some deep seeded insecurity and/or imposter syndrome.

One of the things I admired most about Vanessa Selbst was she was fearless and made plays her peers may mock; but she never conformed.

She did her own thing, and while some of her peers did mock her, she just kept winning.

Phil Ivey has never said he was the GOAT at any point- his peers did.

He didn’t play for validation, he played to break you mentally and win all the money.

@kwansfull Ali is to this day the best player I have played with. And this was just 5/10 PLO in Jacksonville.

He read souls, played GTO n exploitative perfectly. He made other pros look like whales. I hope he gets a chance to come back to the felt.

@ChancesCards I love your motivational quotes man. Not many people talk and have such a positive mindset about poker like you

[Chance Kornuth @ChancesCards]

What are you afraid of?

Busting the tournament?
You will bust 90% of the time.

Losing money?
You can make it all back.

Looking stupid?
No one cares.

There is nothing to fear.

Go for the win.

My 2025 $100 Million Poker Profit Goal

When setting goals for myself, I used to use the popular framework of 'floor and ceiling goals.'

The idea is to set a minimum (floor) goal and a higher bar (ceiling) that you hope to clear.

This way, you get the chance to aim high without as much risk of the loss of motivation that failure brings.

For Example

Let’s say you wanted to spend one hour in the gym five days a week, every week, for the next year.

If you made that your goal, the first week you missed, you’d have failed. For some people, that might mean giving up entirely.

If, instead, you set a goal of:

Floor: At least 20 minutes of physical activity five days/week

Ceiling: One hour in the gym five days/week

Or

Floor: Five days of one hour in the gym at least 30 of the next 52 weeks

Ceiling: Five days of one hour in the gym at least 45 of the next 52 weeks

You’d be more likely to stay on track.

MTO

In the last year, I was introduced (and switched) to the MTO framework, developed by Jack Canfield.

Instead of a floor and ceiling, you set Minimum, Target, and Outrageous (MTO) goals.

While it accomplishes similar things, I like this framework better for a few reasons, the most important one being that it encourages you to think bigger.

Minimum should be the least you can accomplish and still consider it a success. It should be realistic and attainable with a reasonable amount of effort.

Target is more challenging than the minimum goal and requires consistent effort and dedication.

Outrageous is a stretch goal that requires extraordinary effort and perhaps a bit of luck. It pushes you to think beyond your usual limits.

You don’t even need to see the clear path to hitting the outrageous goal to put it down on paper!

With that in mind...

My $100 Million Goal

With My Beyond The Game program launching at the end of this month, I’ve decided on the following MTO goals for myself...

These are goals for the amount of poker profit (including other gambling income – sports, staking, etc.) I want program members to net, combined, between August 1st and the end of 2025.

(Note: This is not "tournament winnings." This is Profit.)

Minimum: $15,000,000

Target: $50,000,000

Outrageous: $100,000,000

I decided on this goal because in order to hit it, I'm going to have to both grow the program and help the members succeed as much as possible.

I'm excited to get going 🚀

What outrageous goals are you going to set?
