@pokerorg This man sounds like he will a higher lifetime ROI higher than 99.98% of people that say they are good at poker….no matter what you tell me…this man is better at poker than you. Come at me bro.
When I moved to Austin 5 years ago and came across poker in Texas, I was so excited to get involved.
What we went through over the last couple of months has probably been the most stressful time of my life. I was personally facing criminal charges despite doing everything the right way.
I cant describe what it was like to go through something like that, particularly with a family and having always done my best to ensure legal compliance.
The lodge reopens on Tuesday. And it would mean a lot to me, and our team, for everyone in our community to show up and support us.
The lodge is good for poker. We have phenomenal staff and love putting on terrific events. We have made it through to the other side and I could not be happier for us to once again be able to host our members to play some cards.
Tuesday.
May 26th.
Shuffle up and deal.

A crime ring out of Tennessee was just busted for running wrench attacks on bitcoin holders across California, San Francisco, Sunnyvale, San Jose, and Los Angeles.
They hacked into victims' DoorDash and UberEats accounts to figure out where they lived, then showed up posing as delivery drivers. Once inside, they zip-tied and duct-taped victims at gunpoint while a remote operator, using a voice modulator, directed them through draining the wallets.
In one case they stole $13 million. In another, when the victim's wallet didn't show the amount the attackers expected, the voice on the phone ordered them to cut off the victim's fingers until he revealed the "real" account.
A duress wallet won't necessarily save you. These attackers came in with specific intel about how much their targets held. If the number they see doesn't match the number they expect, the situation escalates. Physical attacks on bitcoin holders jumped 75% in 2025, with confirmed losses topping $40 million.
A few things worth thinking about if you hold any meaningful amount of bitcoin.
Don't talk about how much you hold. Not online, not at meetups, not to friends of friends. Operational security starts with not making yourself a target in the first place.
Be skeptical of unexpected deliveries. This ring used real food delivery apps to build trust before showing up at the door.
Multisig and time-locked transactions are worth looking into, not just for security against hackers, but because they make it physically impossible to hand over funds under duress. If the coins literally can't move for 48 hours, there's no point in holding someone at gunpoint.
Self-custody is a responsibility. The tradeoff for being your own bank is that you're also your own security team.
@elonmusk Love for Pike County to be involved….Mccomb’s economy has been decimated the last 2 years. Make Mississippi reborn with life instead of the despair it currently has.
Enjoy reading this article whether in memory of him, or hearing about him for the first time. Grab your Sor, Tarrega, De Falla and put it on and read….he loved just sitting, talking and listening to his favorite guitarists…adios Maestrasso. All of my love.

My Maestro played his final recital December 17, 2025…a great man, who lived life with great passion….especially for music. He is also the most important musician to me I ever met….#EliasBarreiro#JavierOlondo
I want to thank you for the wonderful years of knowledge and passion for music you shared with me….
I read this article and could hear the cadence of his thick Cuban voice and hand gestures while reading this….I cried and laughed….especially with his “Elias-isms”.
