My friends & neighbors think that I’m a professional poker player.

My poker industry friends & colleagues think that I’m a recreational poker player.

My family thinks that I’m a businessman who likes to play poker.

Me? I think I’m just having a major mid-life identity crisis!

@MMTonyB Way to go Tony! Keep it up man.

@NickSchulman @PokerGO This has @BuffaloHanks written all over it

Been getting a lot of feedback from players about Day 2 registration in Main Events. Assume multiple Day 1 flights, unlimited re-entry, and max late reg stack 10-20BB.

Do you prefer registration open on Day 2?

@rok300 I feel this 💯

@_PokerDave_ @PokerBabeBoss X doesn't have the character count for that homie

ITM 🤑 again we'll take it but long way to go. @WSOP $3K Mid-Stakes Championship.

Flights home are insane tomorrow so might as well fight for day three!

[Tom Wheaton @TomWheaton_]

Back at it for @WSOP mid-stakes championship. My people! Love the timing of this tournament because can still play it even after main event day four or five.

@tjreidpoker Great run TJ 💪

Idk how but onto day four @WSOP main with bubble play in full effect. Couldn't get anything going today and played super disciplined short stack poker for 6 hours to survive & advance 🥃

I've been asked about this & imo it's bigger than a sponsorship deal.

Poker, trading, investing, crypto & entrepreneurship has a lot more audience overlap than people realize.

Solana may have just validated poker as a marketing channel for crypto. Iron is hot @abovethefelt!

Solana x WSOP: The Future of Poker & Finance

Step 1 of getting into the Poker Hall of Fame is up to public nomination. If you think my career is worthy, please cast me a vote!

@RichardPatey @WPT @pliska007 @EvanWeb3 @b1ackd0g @SuiNetwork @SuiFoundation The overlap between poker & crypto is bigger than most people realize. Solana’s move into poker could end up opening a lot of doors for the industry. Happy to help the Sui team navigate operators players, events & partnership opportunities if there’s interest. @abovethefelt
