Bagged one of the top stacks for day 2 of the $5K 8-max. 72 left, $10.5K locked up and playing for $695K for first.
It’s been a rough summer of poker. 3 cashes out of 50 bullets, down 150K. I booked a flight home for 9am yesterday. Decided to cancel it last minute since I min cashed two events back-to-back, and for the first time all summer I had some momentum on my side.
Turns out that momentum is real as I couldn’t lose a flip yesterday in the 8-max. I was knocked down to 4.5bb twice, and was all in for my tournament life at least 6 times.
No expectations from here. Just want to play my best poker, and have gratitude for one final run.
Wdym I live literally TWO blocks away from Time Square, but the Pokemon Go 10th anniversary event is INVITE ONLY ?? Giving out guaranteed hundo Mewtwos to idk, creators?
Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
The most transparent administration in history still hasn’t released all the Epstein files or arrested anyone, but rolled out some UFO files today so you would get so excited that you forgot you are paying over $4.50/gallon because they are fighting another foreign war they said they would no longer fight.
Happy Friday everyone!
@GuntherEagleman How are you so mad about things that aren't actually big issues, yet are perfectly fine with raping and selling children?
I ask as an independent. This brigade of mad right wing influencers is hurting the right's chance to get reelected. Yet you keep going?
@IronAngabel @CMDROpAtLargeCA @GovJanetMills That's not the issue. It never was. The issue is due process & constitutional rights
They systematically disarmed a non violent nurse and executed him yesterday, and today claimed that citizen did not have 2nd amendment rights.
How are you ok with that?
@CMDROpAtLargeCA bro you better start house shoppimg in argentina soon or all the good ones will be gone. You know whats going to happen to you, right?
