@RamseyShaffer I’m so inspiring

[Ramsey Shaffer (babbl-labs.com) @RamseyShaffer]

when i lived with @IMatakis in college i remember he put a jar of unopened salsa in the fridge

and i said "bro you know that's sealed, you can just leave it in the cupboard"

and he said "but what if I want it to be cold when I open it"

I think about that mindset a lot...

@BenjaminValder @WSOP 😂😁

[Ian Matakis @IMatakis]

@audavidb I had 2, didn’t want to be too greedy.

I have found myself at another Venom final table, starts at 3:05 CT stream half hour later, send some 🔥

[Ian Matakis @IMatakis]

@AllOrNubbin Hey I don’t stream but ACR will stream it with cards up https://t.co/G9jFFTYA6X

[Ian Matakis @IMatakis]

@Kevmath Is there wire info floating around somewhere for Wynn/Encore WPT?

[Ian Matakis @IMatakis]

1) It was 10.5bb, CO, soft bubble, and it was suited

2) You have zero self awareness, talking about HRC sims on a milly maker table full of people who play 2 tournaments a year, yapping during 2 big river decisions, and calling clock way too fast on a guy who was fast all day

[Matt Bode @Matt_Bode79]

Just watched 2023 player of the year rip KJ for 11 bbs from HJ on the stone bubble of an 11000 person field. 😂😂 I guess anyone can win it. Just have to be lucky?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Ian Matakis @IMatakis]

@berkey11 I had A6ss, thought some of my 6x should bluff river being at bottom of range with very little showdown and not many natural bluffs.

[Ian Matakis @IMatakis]

@twenty1racks @Kevmath @WSOP Same issue

[Ian Matakis @IMatakis]

@Kevmath Hi, is registration for $25k heads up on Thursday open/available yet? I don’t see it on Bravo
