It is with great sadness that I can confirm that I have formally completed my time with @BetStrat. It was a tough grind and it had many long days, but I truly believed it was worthwhile and that we accomplished something meaningful! I wish the remaining team the absolute best!

Woke up an EPT Champion.

Mason "@pyefacepoker" Pye is a champion at #EPTBarcelona, winning the €550 HORSE for his first live title and €17,290.

“To win a mixed game event really means a lot to me," the Team Pro told us. "I’m really, really happy.”

Here's what happened.

As for what comes next, well, as one door closes, another one opens. Within a week I'll be moving out to Dublin to start a new life and career in Ireland. Here's hoping all goes well!

Day 2 of streaming retirement

Made a twitch stream banner for when I'm offline (a lot at the mo). Raising awareness for #SuicidePrevention and helping those with depression and having a hard time 💜

Please RT for awareness, I will make custom versions for FREE for everyone 💜💜

What's that? We can't get Lex? Well, who can we get? Pye?!?! Can we at least make it look like it's Lex instead? Okay cool.

This month, I had the chance to chat with the amazing person that is @pyefacepoker! Truly an absolute gent and all-round awesome guy!

[BetStrat @BetStrat]

Happy #AprilFoolsDay all! Fortunately, no jokes here today, just a new Streamer of the Month! This month we spoke with #PokerStars Ambassador and the leader of the Mixed Games Movement himself, @pyefacepoker!

Recently went on a trip to Limerick, so I decided to do a write up on the event! Hopefully this won't be the last IPT event we go to!

[BetStrat @BetStrat]

The @paddypowerpoker @IrishPokerTour recently found its way to Limerick, Ireland. Fortunately, our very own @SirTom1248 was in attendance in Limerick and was able to round up some of the things that went on and what went well at the event!

@GJReggie @xflixx @tetsuyano3 "But hang on, listen, explain to me one more time why QKA23 isn't a 3-high straight, I mean they're all consecutive and one after each other..."

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

Only just back from Limerick but that doesn't stop me from chatting with new streamers! Had the opportunity to not just meet with Pred in Limerick, but chat with him about the latest goings-on with his stream and recent journeys to live events!

[BetStrat @BetStrat]

New Month! New Streamer! This time we were joined for a chat by @PredPoker! We sat down with the @paddypowerpoker Ambassador to talk live events, new content and (most importantly) chicken tendies!

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on our journey! Here's to many more years!

[BetStrat @BetStrat]

It's exactly 1 year today since @BetStrat officially launched! Thank you so much to everyone who has checked us out and supported us over the past year! We couldn't have done it without you! Here's hoping for many years to come!

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

Had an amazing time at the @paddypowerpoker @IrishPokerTour in Limerick! Huge thanks to Brian, Fintan and the whole PP and IPT teams for putting the event on! Can't wait for the next one!

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

At the @paddypowerpoker IPT in Limerick and they had a free barber! Decided to take the plunge and sort my hair out! Question is, better or worse?

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

We found a Day 2 stack in the @paddypowerpoker @IrishPokerTour Team Event! Still a little way outside the money but goal is to spin it up!

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

Made it over to the @paddypowerpoker Team Event in Limerick! Time to spin up a stack!

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

@PokerStars Finally, a use for my maths degree! 😂

♦️ = (2 * 2 * 2) + 2
♣️ = (2 * 2 * 2)
♥️ = (2 * 2) + 2
♠️ = (2 * 2)
Answer = 2

OR

♦️ = ((2 * 2) + (2 / 2)) / 2
♣️ = 2 / (2 * 2)
♥️ = ((2 / 2) - (2 * 2)) / 2
♠️ = (2 / (2 * 2)) - (2 * 2)
Answer = 2

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

Operation satty into the @IrishPokerTour via @paddypowerpoker was a success! In for 1 bullet and an add on, out for a €300 Main Event Ticket! Can't wait for Limerick!

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

@paddypowerpoker Huge thanks guys! Hopefully I can spin those up into a nice little Main Event seat for the IPT in Limerick! ❤️

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

First day on @paddypowerpoker, playing a €10 satty to the #IrishPokerTour. 1 hour in, I've got the chip lead and my account gets suspended for routine security checks and I'm locked out of my table. Now waiting on security to review my documents while watching my stack bleed.

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

@AskPaddyPower Hey guys, already got the issue sorted thankfully! Shout out to @PredPoker for giving me a hand in getting it sorted! ❤️

[Christopher Wathen @SirTom1248]

@AskPaddyPower Lesson learnt, don't be polite to @PaddyPower support or they will close the conversation immediately after you ask them a question. Lost a €10 tournament buyin but at least my account is unlocked I guess? @AskPaddyPower any idea if I can get the tournament buy-in back?
