No, they weren't even the same color.

Ego Bump. I got to the poker rtoom at 10pm Sunday night and the same villain is still in the same seat wearing the same shirt! He also has a stack over 3k! I left though, he and the able were quite nitty.

Phil Hellmuth pretty much paving his road to a bracelet.

Game must be soft enough to the point where you can auto-pilot.

Buying a van and converting it to a livable vehicle. Going to drive around rock climb/play poker. Should be a fun adventure in life. Plan on making a trip out to LATB and getting on a episode or two. Will try and get on around August-September.

If phil loses this, prepare for a melt down.

Timing As Usual.

flopped top set twice in an hour at 2/3 for a couple of $50 pots picked up with a cbet.

took my winnings to 3.5 where Sleepyhead is now on his 41st hour. I lost a coinflip with a $80 overlay, and my stack when I saw the Ah as the Ad.

GOAT thread @4 years ago about a pro asking if he could live in his van in the Rio parking lot.

TBH, Hellmuth's game withered during poker boom primarily because he was investing his image, not his game. I give him credit though. Two years ago, he publicly said he was going to work on his game and become competitive again (mainly because he knew the payments from UB/AP were going to end and the poker boom was over). He's apparently done exactly that, finishing second 3 times last year and winning this year. Of all the TV stars that faded, only he and Daniel Negreanu have taken up the challenge to re-up their game after falling that far behind.

^ I think Negreanu does a really good job representing the poker community.

Yesterday I hit some big hands early on and was up about 2k. Then I ran like crap, and was -300. Then I ran good and finished up 1800. Lol big swongs.

This was the funnest hand of the day. Most of us are 200-400 BB deep. The action has been crazy with a lot of limp calling any size raise.

6 limpers to me on the button with 23 With my tight image, I pop it to 35. 4 callers

FLOP (175) A45 (gin )

Check around to me. I bet 100, V1 raises to 250, V2 calls, I shove. V1 calls Villain 2 folds.

V1 shows 4 5 for bottom 2 pair and I hold up!
