In the spirit of many others offering up Black Friday stories: 4/15/11 forced me to decide between moving abroad to play high stakes heads-up online, play live, or quit. After almost quitting (for the 100th time), I chose live poker and moved to LA. It worked out pretty well.

Another special night @EDC. I realized music festivals and poker have much in common: Both are activities that have brought me so much joy, responsible for some of my most memorable days. I will always ❤️ both even if I’ll only be partaking sporadically moving forward. #dadlife

This week, 2 stars in Doug Polk (Code Doug) & Tom Dwan learned why I never trusted anything Feldman said. He has his own agenda and is willing to do/say anything necessary to execute it. Helpful when you are of use to him, brutal otherwise. No one will step on his toes given his power.

This sweet, playful, and super sharp little girl puts a smile on my face unlike anything on earth. Being a father was great last year, now it’s often magical (yet still plenty challenging). I wish you all a wonderful Father’s Day. Don’t forget to find delight all along the way.

I’ve played more hours with Brian Kim than almost anyone, mostly in tough, shorthanded, HS cash games. No one consistently gave me more trouble and it’s not particularly close. Being a psychotic competitor, I never much cared for him. But I was cheering hard for him today. Gg BK

When I moved to LA in 2012, I used to wake up at 7pm before grinding the shorthanded, overnight Commerce games. Now I’m in bed soon after then to be up by 6AM w/ my daughter before grinding away at my new ventures (I’ll announce in due time). Life comes at you way too damn fast!

6AM Sundays 2014: Awake deathly hungover, muster the strength to order mediocre burrito. Pass out before it arrives. 2024: Long run on the beach, watching the waves in awe, in the best shape of my life, and overwhelmed with gratitude for strong mental health. 30s are awesome.

It’s been pretty amazing hearing several brave women come forward and seeing Karma quickly take shape. By doing so, they have protected countless others from future harassment or worse. Many are asking me if I’ll play on HCL now that they have supposedly “cleaned house” by

I’ll be playing some streaming poker on Friday—first time in a year! I’ll be battling w/ my old pal Phil Laak and rising star Masato, amongst several other poor souls you’ve seen me share the felt with over the years. Pretty excited about it, I hope you are too. Catch ya then!

It doesn’t hurt that I run stupid good, but yesterday was such a great time with a quality group of guys. During the stream, 世界のヨコサワ asked me if I missed poker. I admitted, yes, of course I do. That’s a big part of why I’ve stayed away—poker is so entertaining, so

I’m not about to go all Scrooge and hate on NYE goals altogether. They serve a purpose and for a time in my life they helped to jumpstart many ambitious objectives. But they aren’t for me anymore. I wake up every day of the year challenging myself to “be the kind of person who”

The list of friends whose homes were destroyed in LA continues to grow. Families whose every possession, every memory, their entire community—destroyed in an instant. It’s surreal and heartbreaking. And it’s happening minutes away from unscathed communities like mine. Tragic.

At 39 weeks pregnant, my wife went to a standing room only Eric Prydz electronic music show last night. She danced harder than anyone in the venue, myself included. I now grant my son permission to meet his parents.

First distance race—running on fumes after Vegas PokerGo trip and changing my 3 week old son’s diapers overnight nonstop. 38 years old, 2 kids, but surely not dead yet. Fall in love with doing hard shit and the rest is a (26.2 mile) cakewalk. Onward: St George Marathon up next.
