Feeling euphoric today.
Growing up, all I wanted to be was a gambler.
My dad was one of the best poker players in the world, and I spent countless hours as a kid sitting behind him watching him play. My bar mitzvah was poker themed. While other kids were out partying, I was obsessed with cards, probabilities, and finding an edge.
Eventually I dropped out of college and went all in on my dream.
That obsession turned into over $10M in poker tournament winnings and being ranked among the best players in the world.
Then I found sports betting.
I started making more money than I ever thought imaginable, and poker took a back seat. I traveled the country beating sportsbooks and casinos for millions. I made countless million-dollar bets. Refused to chop a $9M survivor because I already had millions riding on games. Built a reputation as one of the most successful sports bettors in the world.
The success led to thousands of people reaching out wanting help, and that’s how this community was built.
Yesterday was special though.
For the first time in a long time, I sat back down in a major poker tournament.
600 players entered.
60 players left.
$20,000 locked up.
Over $1,000,000 for first.
And as I looked at my stack, I realized I’m living the exact dream that little kid had all those years ago.
I’ve accomplished more than he ever imagined possible.
But we’re not done yet.
Back to work. Back to making money. And back to chasing that million-dollar first-place prize.
Let’s fucking go. ♠️💰🏆

Never go cheap on the things that stand between you and the world:
1.Footwear – They carry your entire life’s weight. Bad shoes slowly tax your knees, hips, and spine.
https://t.co/sMmcz37Flk – You drink it daily. Cheap coffee doesn’t just taste bad, it treats your body like a dustbin.
3.Mattress – You spend one-third of your life on it. A bad mattress quietly ruins your back and sleep.
4.Partner – This is the person who will shape your peace or destroy it. Choose character over convenience.
https://t.co/IlvBn7qu6e – Bargain hunting in healthcare is the most expensive mistake people make.
https://t.co/d0UtW3T7Nm – Knowledge compounds for decades. Shortcuts here show up as limitations later.
Some things are purchases.
These are life foundations.
Choose carefully.
People respect you more when you're fit.
It signals discipline. Consistency. Standards.
Put on a weighted vest and go for a walk.
Or go to the gym and see how heavy you can lift.
It doesn’t matter what you do, just move your body.
Prioritize the pump.
When you start making good money, do this:
1. Buy fewer clothes, but wear the highest quality.
2. Eat premium food, not junk.
3. Hire a helper for household chores. Buy back your time.
4. Upgrade your mattress. Sleep changes everything.
5. Invest in experiences, not just stuff.
6. Upgrade your financial adviser. The one who got you here won’t get you to the next level.
7. Surround yourself with high-value people.
Small shifts. Big impact.
