1
00:00:19,679 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, Welcome back to a brand new episode of

2
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,760
the Poker Go Podcast, likely the final episode of twenty

3
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,519
twenty four, unless this guy demands I do more work.

4
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:31,640
Thank you.

5
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'll give you the day off tomorrow.

6
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,079
Speaker 1: My name is Donnie Peters. His name is Tim Duckworth.

7
00:00:39,759 --> 00:00:40,560
How you doing, sir.

8
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm good. How about you?

9
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: Um, I think I'm doing better than I was before.

10
00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:56,200
I looked at my poker results. Al Right, you weren't

11
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,079
as bad as I thought.

12
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: That's the exact feeling I had as well.

13
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: I had two runner up finishes last night. Wow, So

14
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,319
I you know, I really, like really brought the number

15
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:10,000
back to at least closer to even than it was.

16
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:14,879
But yeah, so yeah, that's just gonna be the topic

17
00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:16,359
of this podcast. Him and I are going to go

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,920
through our twenty twenty four poker results. We're gonna lay

19
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,319
out some twenty twenty five poker goals. It's a little

20
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:25,519
bit of a tradition that we always do here on

21
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,519
the podcast. You know, just talk about how we did,

22
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,599
how we probably stunk it up, and uh what we

23
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,040
want to get better at for the next year. So

24
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:37,319
short and sweet, and we will get everyone out of here.

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,280
I do have another question that I'm gonna ask you

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,719

whole like, you know, best stories of the year, this,

56
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,960
that and the other thing. Whatever. I'm not gonna do

57
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:21,960
exactly that. That said, I want to know what you,

58
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,520
mister PGG commissioner. What's your favorite PGT story of the

59
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:29,199
year is? This should just come off right off the

60
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:32,159
top of your head because you live and breathe this

61
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,520
damn tour. Okay, so what's your what's your favorite moment

62
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:40,120
or storyline win from somebody?

63
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: What is it?

64
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: Well?

65
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: I wish you'd give me some time.

66
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: To pre No, heck, no, man, come on, it's better

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,680
when it's like this.

68
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:48,719
Speaker 2: Okay.

69
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: The number one story off the top of my head

70
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,840
would probably be Daniel mcgroner winning the fifty k PPC

71
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:03,400
obviously seventh WSP bracelet, also a PGT event that kind

72
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,879
of helped propel him up the lead aboard where he

73
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:13,680
currently and will probably finish second to Jeremy Osmas. I'll

74
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:15,800
give you like a bunch of stories, but that's probably

75
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:16,600
number one.

76
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: I think.

77
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I won't go that one for me. I mean,

78
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:26,000
partly because I was I didn't even think about the

79
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:28,279
WSP stuff. I just kind of blocked that out, just

80
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,759
trying to keep it more owned and operated stuff. I

81
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,439
think mine would be. I mean, we've had a lot

82
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:38,399
of good ones, like ones that came to mind that

83
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:42,439
weren't my favorite. I mean, Jeremy Osmas's year, yeah, I

84
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,240
think it's just, you know, really incredible, just the fact

85
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,759
that he's obviously been grinding the PGT for quite some

86
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,480
time now, every single season he's in the mix, but

87
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,399
having the year that he has, has the lead at

88
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:54,120
the top of the leaderboard, like he has all that

89
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,040
sort of stuff, likely to become Player of the Year,

90
00:04:56,199 --> 00:05:02,079
like very well deserved. Another one is the two Foxes,

91
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,319
like being in the top forty together at least currently

92
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:07,720
as as things stand right now, I think that's really good.

93
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,600
The year of David Coleman. I know, I know, it's

94
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,879
kind of cooled off. Pg TY started super hot but

95
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,160
then cooled off a little bit. I think that's cool

96
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,040
as well. But mine is gonna be mister Seth Davies,

97
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,439
who I feel like is finally gotten like the headlining

98
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,199
victories that he's been striving so much for now. You know,

99
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:32,720
many years ago he did win a World Cooperate Tour title.

100
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,759
He has had a lot of success, but it always

101
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,720
seemed like, you know, Davies was always like coming close

102
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:42,800
to things but never really got like that big you know,

103
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,000
marquee victory, like headlining victory, right, and he did it

104
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,639
a couple of times this year to be honest. Yeah,

105
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,480
I mean he won the I remember the final PLO

106
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,000
Series event, right, he wins that, Like it doesn't even

107
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,160
really play PLO, but he wins that anyway, and that

108
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:04,319
was like, okay, like you know, he's in the mix.

109
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,920
Here we go. Then he wins Super High Rollable. Then

110
00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:10,560
he went Super High Rollable PLO. I mean, it's just

111
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:14,920
it's absolutely incredible for him for what he's done this year.

112
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:19,480
He's currently sitting third on the PGT leaderboard. He has

113
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,399
those three victories that I talked about, He's got nine

114
00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:24,439
cash his total, so kind of just like the I mean,

115
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,519
I don't I'm trying to avoid and dance around calling

116
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,600
it a breakout year because I don't think it's a

117
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,920
breakout year. Like he's he's a known name, He's had

118
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:34,720
a lot of success in the past. I did cite

119
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,959
that that World Poker Tour title, like all that sort

120
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,160
of stuff, right, So this isn't like a breakout year,

121
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:45,040
you know, but it is a headlining year, a marquee

122
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,759
year for him, you know something that I think. I

123
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,600
think Seth Davis has always been a name. But I

124
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,360
bet if you would have asked like most even like

125
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:55,759
people that are into poker, like they might not have

126
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:58,120
even have known that he has a World Poker Tour title, right,

127
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,360
and they just be like, yeah, you know, he's just

128
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,399
a high rolleror this that and the other thing. Whatever. Well,

129
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,560
now he's finally you know, getting everything and it's all

130
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,279
coming to him and it's all kind of breaking his

131
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:11,120
way and that's great. You know, he's someone who I mean,

132
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,279
I watched a lot of his videos that that he's

133
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:15,879
had on run at once. I think they're great content,

134
00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:18,160
and you can certainly tell that he has an incredible

135
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,759
poker mind. He really thinks things through, he studies a lot,

136
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,560
and all that sort of stuff. And then when all

137
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,040
of that preparation just really, you know, is able to

138
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:29,079
come through and you're able to land some victories, you know,

139
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,000
I really do, you know, I'm a sucker for that

140
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,079
sort of thing. So so he's my kind of my

141
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,639
number one story out of the whole year.

142
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:37,959
Speaker 2: Just for what it's worth.

143
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four nine point one million dollars in earnings

144
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Lassia twenty twenty three five point five. Year before that

145
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:48,680
five point four, twenty twenty one, three point five. So yeah, definitely,

146
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:51,279
you're right. You can't call it a breakout year, but

147
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:55,079
headlining year is a very good way to put it.

148
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, I love it.

149
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:57,839
Speaker 2: All.

150
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: Right, let's get into the real head lightning years had

151
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:05,519
by you and I our twenty four poker results. Do

152
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,600
you want to go first? Should I go first? What

153
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:08,079
do you want?

154
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: I'll go first. I play a little less than Donald

155
00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:19,920
over there, but for some reason I played more live tournaments.

156
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:21,879
I did not expect that, but I played twenty.

157
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:22,639
Speaker 1: Eight somebody worked for.

158
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just lot, sure, whatever you say.

159
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,399
Speaker 3: The twenty eight live tournaments, I had nineteen and eight

160
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:33,879
hundred and fifteen dollars in buyings. That does include the

161
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,600
ten KWBT World Championship seat that I won, so really

162
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,039
let's call it nine thousand in buyings, seven cashes unfortunately,

163
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,120
zero final tables lost twenty four hundred dollars.

164
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:47,799
Speaker 2: Not horrible.

165
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:49,279
Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be much worse than that.

166
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,440
I guess that four K cash in the WBT invitation

167
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,799
will definitely helped boost my numbers. Do play some cash

168
00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:03,120
games thirty a bians lost six hundred bucks before I

169
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:05,080
went to Texas. The last two Texas trips I was

170
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,840
winning nine hundred, so a little bit of a downswing

171
00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:11,639
thanks to Texas. Parker and Online don't really track any

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,279
of my stats, but I don't play that much, probably

173
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,639
down less than five hundred dollars, So that my stats

174
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,840
for twenty twenty four.

175
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,039
Speaker 1: Okay, great, not as bad as mine, I guess in

176
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,679
terms of being down money. So I played a total

177
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:31,840
of so this is tricky. Let me let me just

178
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,440
say this upfront. The way that I do my stats,

179
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,960
and I should probably just get better at this, but whatever,

180
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,559
So I wrote down I played two hundred and seventy

181
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,480
four tournaments. Two hundred and forty eight of those were online,

182
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,679
twenty six of them were live. So I keep all

183
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:49,639
of my stuff manually in a Google sheet when I

184
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,000
track them when I do live. Okay, So for example,

185
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,120
I played the WPT Prime and I fired four bullets.

186
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,600
They are four lines on my spreadsheet, right, So.

187
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:02,399
Speaker 2: That makes sense?

188
00:10:02,759 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, because because it's a re entry, it's essentially

189
00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:07,080
like a new tournament, Like what does it matter? Right?

190
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:07,919
Speaker 2: Yeah?

191
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,519
Speaker 1: Okay, ye, when I do it online just because of

192
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,320
like the it's mostly because of the speed of online.

193
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:17,799
You know, you're you have multiple tables up, like you're

194
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,919
just busting clicking buttons and re entering, like you're just

195
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:23,519
constantly doing that. I just I have them written down

196
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,039
what I'm playing that day, and I just put tallies,

197
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,840
so like I might get to four tallies or five,

198
00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:30,679
you know what I mean, And then I'll just loop

199
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,879
it all in at the end. So if I play

200
00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:34,919
a twenty two dollars tournament five times, I'll just put

201
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,879
I'll put it on one line. The buying was one

202
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,120
hundred and ten dollars and then go from there. So

203
00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:41,320
the number is.

204
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: Probably Yeah, I was gonna say they would be okay.

205
00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: Like if I if I did the online like I

206
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,960
do the live, it's probably more like, I mean six hundred.

207
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,000
I probably average two three buyings per tournament. I mean

208
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:56,799
I have outside of the some of them, I'm I'm

209
00:10:57,039 --> 00:11:01,120
at like six. Who knows? We play like I said,

210
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,600
it's it's it's when it's a re entry. I mean

211
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,279
it's essentially a new tournament. So like, what's the difference

212
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:09,039
if I play a fifty five dollars tournament five times

213
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:11,000
today or if I just play it once every Sunday

214
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:15,279
for the next five sundays. Who cares? So then what

215
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:16,600
what would my what number?

216
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: You said, what would the live number be if you

217
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:21,000
did it the same way you did it online?

218
00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: A numbers?

219
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, But like to like Prime, you're in for four bullets,

220
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,360
But how many other events are you in for multiple bullets?

221
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: I do feel like, I.

222
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: Mean most of them. It's like a six hundred dollars win,

223
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,960
it's like the fifteen hundred or something at the w

224
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,879
s AP you might fire two bullets like stuff like that. Yeah,

225
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,720
you know, so it's it's probably ten to fifteen, I'll

226
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:48,320
say so anyway, just just putting it out there. So

227
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,360
two hundred and seventy four tournaments play two hundred and

228
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,879
forty eight online. You can put the asterisks there. You

229
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:54,759
can put the asterix on the twenty six live tournaments.

230
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:56,159
I don't care where you put the asterix, but the

231
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,879
asterix is there. Fifty two forty two dollars and seventy

232
00:12:00,919 --> 00:12:03,320
cents in buyings. That's an average buyand of one hundred

233
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,360
and ninety dollars and sixty seven cents online. Just over

234
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:10,840
twenty five thousand dollars in buying twenty five thousand, forty

235
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,720
two point seven, which is an average of one hundred

236
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,960
dollars and ninety eight cents. Call it one oh one

237
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,200
live twenty seven thousand, two hundred dollars, an average of

238
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,679
one thousand and forty six dollars and fifteen cents. My

239
00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:30,519
numbers aren't as high this year. I only played one

240
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,039
ten K this year. I played two. Last year, I

241
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,759
played the wsp Man Event and the WPT World Championship.

242
00:12:36,279 --> 00:12:38,240
Each of the last two years, I only played the

243
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,039
w spe Man Event this year. Now, I did play

244
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:44,600
the napt Man event. But still that's you know, five

245
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:47,399
thousand dollars that's not not there this year, so keeping

246
00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:49,519
those numbers a little bit smaller than normal. I had

247
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,159
eighty one cashes, seventy nine online, two live. I am

248
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,279
currently I'll say currently because there's still two days left

249
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,960
man and assumes the podcast. I am firing up table

250
00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:05,879
twenty five thousand, one hundred and fourteen dollars in the red.

251
00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:08,519
Speaker 2: I think you're missing a stat.

252
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: What's the stat?

253
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: How many wins? I thought you had at least one wins?

254
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: So and I I didn't really well. I definitely had

255
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:22,320
no wins fucking live. I had like no fucking cashes.

256
00:13:22,639 --> 00:13:25,519
Couldn't do shit live live. It was the year of

257
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:31,159
I did really well to like build stacks early and

258
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,600
make it to registration on a single bullet when I

259
00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:38,120
planned for multiple bullets other than WPT prime. That sucked

260
00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:43,919
or actually nah, yeah that sucked. But I could never

261
00:13:44,039 --> 00:13:46,159
like once like registration closed, like it was like the

262
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,399
wind just got sucked out of my sales. It could

263
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:54,200
could make nothing happen. I won one tournament online in July,

264
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,759
and it was a PLO tournament.

265
00:13:56,799 --> 00:14:00,759
Speaker 2: If you can believe that, no, you something like a

266
00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:01,279
month ago.

267
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, in November, I won another tournament. Yeah, okay,

268
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,559
I won a It was a fifty five dollars tournament.

269
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,759
I was in for three buy ins. I won that one. Uh,

270
00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:12,240
and then I have a I have a bunch of

271
00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:13,960
those are the only two I won this year. So

272
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,360
I had two wins, but I had a bunch of other,

273
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:22,320
like like this month. I've actually closed this month fairly strong.

274
00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:29,960
I had a they have this on Sunday on WSV

275
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,480
dot com. They have this fifty five dollars mystery bounty

276
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:39,480
tournament with twenty five k guaranteed. What is it? It's

277
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,000
the thirtieth So two sundays ago, I pulled the biggest

278
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,600
bounty in the tournament for twenty five hundred. So there

279
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:54,080
was that, And last night I had I took second

280
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,240
in that same tournament for twenty four hundred. And then

281
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,960
I have a bunch of other like you know six on.

282
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,919
Speaker 3: How do you do you count mystery bounties in this

283
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,559
overall negative number? Like when you let's say you play

284
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:07,519
the fifty five.

285
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: The cash in the one that I won. The thing

286
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,200
was I have the full cash, but it was like

287
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,080
twenty five hundred of the twenty six hundred that I

288
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,159
cashed for is the bounty pull. I mean that's part,

289
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:16,879
that's part of the price.

290
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: Okay, no, hypothetically, I guess.

291
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:23,879
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure WSP you can win a bounty without

292
00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:27,600
being in the money, right, Yeah, because they start it's

293
00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:29,120
not like a few spots early.

294
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: Now level nineteen, so you might you might be in

295
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,399
the money, you might not be usually not in the money,

296
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,240
usually just outside. So it's kind of like a it's

297
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:38,879
like a double bubble in a way, like you're trying

298
00:15:38,919 --> 00:15:41,600
to I mean, it depends who you are. But yeah,

299
00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:44,000
a lot of people were trying to get into that

300
00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:47,159
mystery bounty portion, which is it kicks in level nineteen

301
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:50,960
on WSP dot com and then the bounties go from

302
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,440
there or the money comes after that. So so yeah,

303
00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:58,679
cash games, I just wrote, fuck cash, I don't play them.

304
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,879
The hell with them?

305
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, we're not that bad. Look minus twenty five k,

306
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,559
minus twenty four hundred, this is like, I know, it's

307
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,759
like nothing, it's nothing.

308
00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: I know, like when you when we say these numbers,

309
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,240
you know a lot of people out there might be like, wow,

310
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,600
that's bad or while they suck, or you know whatever,

311
00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:26,480
let me tell everyone out there if you're not already aware,

312
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:28,559
which if you listen to this podcast, you probably are

313
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,679
generally aware because we talk about this stuff pretty openly.

314
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,559
I would say the majority of tournament players are losing

315
00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:39,120
every single year, massive amounts. Okay, So like the fact

316
00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:41,759
that I recouped essentially half of my buy ins is

317
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:45,080
like pretty good, right, I mean, it's just it's hard, man.

318
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,600
This is why, like people are in infinite dollars of makeup,

319
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:52,759
Like why everyone's pretty much broke out there. Like it's

320
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:57,159
just how it is now. I am, of course very

321
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,480
grateful that I have a regular job, I have some

322
00:16:59,559 --> 00:17:03,639
displo income, I have really good friends and a support

323
00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:06,720
group who like will invest in me when I want

324
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,799
to take some bigger shots and all that sort of stuff.

325
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,880
So like I'm not, you know, just like yoloing my

326
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:14,640
life away essentially, Like it's always you know, make you

327
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,480
make sure your bills are paid, you do this, you

328
00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:19,400
do that, you check all those boxes. Yeah, and then

329
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,200
if you have some extra money to play for it

330
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,559
can go into the poker bank. Well cool, let's do that.

331
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,400
You know that said, if I had to like play professionally,

332
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,720
I would probably, you know, want to jump off the

333
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,480
top of the straps, because especially tournaments, it's just like

334
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:38,319
you can be so good. Not that I'm saying that

335
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,119
I'm so good, but I definitely feel like I'm better

336
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,799
than I have ever been. I try and get better

337
00:17:43,839 --> 00:17:46,519
every time I play, try and get better like every week,

338
00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:48,680
every month, every year, et cetera. And I definitely feel

339
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,920
like I am getting better. And yet you just don't

340
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,960
win because shit just happens and it's just eff and brutal.

341
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,559
I mean, like it just it sucks in tournaments because

342
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,960
you can just you know, you get it, your money in,

343
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,720
you lose, and you're out the door because you have

344
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:07,279
no chips left. And in a cash game, I mean

345
00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:09,160
it's a little bit different. You can put money back

346
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,079
on the table and just fire it up and and

347
00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:14,039
and go at it that way. You know, tournaments it's

348
00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:17,200
it's not as easy, I would say. You know, even

349
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,680
if you do rebuy or whatever, you know, you're rebuying

350
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,880
generally with maybe a smaller stack comparative to the blinds

351
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,599
that sort of stuff. So it's just it's tricky in tournaments,

352
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,400
and every tournament is a freaking minefield. Man. You have

353
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,559
to like you have to get lucky to win. Yes,

354
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,279
I mean I yes. Poker is a game that is

355
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:39,559
predominantly skill based. You know, don't get it confused with

356
00:18:39,599 --> 00:18:41,960
what I'm saying, but there is luck involved, right, just

357
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,440
like there's luck involved when you invest in the stock market,

358
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:47,200
picking a winning stock or picking a stock.

359
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 3: Out of No, it's all skillkill.

360
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: The skill in investing is buy more every being able

361
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,039
to ride it out over the long run. Like that's

362
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,000
essentially the skill.

363
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: Like you just we have different investing strategies.

364
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:09,559
Speaker 1: What are you talking about, you I'm saying, like, if

365
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,039
you invest, you just you like buy every day, every

366
00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:15,039
week or every month or whatever you said, is like

367
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:17,279
your cadence and you're in it for the long haul.

368
00:19:17,599 --> 00:19:18,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

369
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not saying like, you know, you just buy

370
00:19:20,519 --> 00:19:21,720
one stock and hold it forever.

371
00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:22,319
Speaker 2: Okay.

372
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: It's a consistency of buying and putting the money away

373
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,039
and just knowing that like in the back of your mind,

374
00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:31,440
even though there's gonna be fluctuations you know, every single day,

375
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,519
every single hour, every single minute that go up and

376
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:36,559
down and can go up and down by a you know,

377
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,960
fair amount percentage wise in the long run, you're hoping

378
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:43,200
like eight to ten percent compounded over time is like

379
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,480
how you win, right, So, like the skill is having

380
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:49,240
the discipline kind of just like the skill is in poker,

381
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,799
like just being able to like you have to just

382
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,920
kind of be consistent and be disciplined over a long

383
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,079
period of time because variance is a bitch, and that's

384
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:58,640
how it is.

385
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do have a question for you. My wife

386
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:09,279
asked me this question and about swaps and when you

387
00:20:09,319 --> 00:20:12,640
sell pieces in my app, like the ten k, right

388
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,839
I had? Obviously you had five percent. Few other people

389
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,599
had the percentages. I still put the buy in as

390
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,200
ten k because to me, it just gets too confusing

391
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,000
to try and figure out the percentages you actually have.

392
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,720
I just put the full numbers, the full cash. Obviously

393
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,559
my dad is always going to be wrong. But for

394
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,319
someone like you, how do you treat when you're selling

395
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:35,960
pieces or doing swaps like that?

396
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: I put like the full buy in, Like if I

397
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,720
play the like the five thousand dollars nap tea main event,

398
00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:43,640
like you know, five thousand dollars is the buying and

399
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,039
like if I were to cash for ten k, I

400
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:48,680
would put ten k in my results. Yeah, same okay,

401
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,119
but it would also be the same like if I

402
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,400
were to if I were to sell half and if

403
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,319
I put twenty five hundred down and then put five

404
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,720
thousand dollars as my result, it's like the same thing

405
00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:57,640
percentage wise.

406
00:20:57,839 --> 00:20:58,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

407
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I'm just wonder how you, like, personally do I.

408
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,680
I don't infector any swaps.

409
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to make it as easy as possible. Yeah,

410
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,319
Like you know, I I do keep pretty meticulous stats

411
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:13,079
in the sheet and like I, you know, do it

412
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,799
all out manually and whatever. But you know, I'm also

413
00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:19,200
trying to make that as efficient as possible, so you know,

414
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:22,200
cross referencing that by my other sheets that I have

415
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,039
where it's like list all the action and where it's

416
00:21:24,039 --> 00:21:26,079
going and this and that. And I'm not not going

417
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,920
to do that too much of that, you know. So

418
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:31,279
maybe maybe if I was a professional then.

419
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I was about to say.

420
00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:34,200
If you're a professionally do.

421
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: If you're a professional, you want to be as meticulous

422
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,640
as possible writing all the things down. You know, you're

423
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,759
probably doing things like I drove seventeen miles, you know,

424
00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:44,440
like you know, to get all these taxs right, up

425
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:49,920
and this and that and the other. So so yeah, yeah,

426
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,160
what does this know? Why why you don't track your

427
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:53,839
SSEULF online?

428
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: No, not at all. I don't. I don't play it

429
00:21:56,599 --> 00:21:57,359
like any any of them.

430
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,599
Speaker 1: Only like you know, you said you could probably just

431
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,559
email can and you can say, hey, can I have

432
00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:02,960
my thing?

433
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,799
Speaker 3: And I still have money on WSP so I'm not

434
00:22:05,799 --> 00:22:07,519
broke yet, so I don't.

435
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,599
Speaker 2: I literally maybe.

436
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: I mean this last couple of weeks, over this Christmas break,

437
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,079
I've played a lot more, but like in January, when

438
00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:17,200
we're back to work, I might not play till June.

439
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,319
So I don't play to the level I used to

440
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,680
when I was living in Australia.

441
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,079
Speaker 2: So I don't track anything online. It's probably not a

442
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:27,680
good idea, but that's just that's just the way I

443
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,200
do it. I'm there to have.

444
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: A good in January. One event, the WIN is having

445
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,240
a series, the signature series that they always do. I

446
00:22:38,319 --> 00:22:41,160
remember when I first got into poker and I saw

447
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,920
the WIN signature series like full page ad and card Player,

448
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,400
like I just I remember to this Day's green and

449
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,400
it's still still the same branding. It looks the same,

450
00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:58,279
it is, it has never you know gotten old. It's

451
00:22:58,319 --> 00:23:03,759
it's just absolutely timeless that like the Wind does things perfectly,

452
00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:08,240
and I just remember being like man Signature, like I

453
00:23:08,279 --> 00:23:10,440
want to, like I want to play the Signature Series

454
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,039
one day and I want to get into it. So

455
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,119
I'm a sucker for that when I see it. They

456
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,880
have them very often now, you know, they have a

457
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,799
few obviously big series every single year at the Wind,

458
00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:21,920
but then it's almost monthly. When they're not running a

459
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,359
big series, they have the Signature series. They have one

460
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,319
in January. We have a lot of work, but one

461
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:28,720
of the one of the events, I think it might

462
00:23:28,759 --> 00:23:30,519
be the sixth and at all or one or whatever.

463
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:34,039
It it lines up with like the Gap, So I'm

464
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:36,279
going to try and get out there for that and

465
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,839
uh and play that and then maybe play some stuff

466
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:44,920
in February. I don't know yet, and then yeah, I

467
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,200
mean I talked about it last time. I want to

468
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,720
go to Texas, so that would also that I want

469
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,039
to try and do in April. So we'll see, and

470
00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:55,200
then just try and play online, try and try and

471
00:23:55,319 --> 00:24:00,000
not miss a Sunday. Shout out Patrick Leonard. He doesn't

472
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,839
miss a Sunday, but I try and not miss a Sunday.

473
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,680
It's hard, but you know, gotta do what you gotta do,

474
00:24:07,839 --> 00:24:12,160
all right, looking ahead to next year, twenty twenty five

475
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,079
poker goals, I'll go first this time because you went

476
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,039
first on the last one. Number one on mine is

477
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,160
fix shit. Just continue to like work on my game

478
00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:28,680
and fix things and get better. You know, that's all

479
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:34,240
into this bucket. It's like the more I think I learn,

480
00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:37,400
the more I realize I have leaks to plug, or

481
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,400
the more I realize I'm making mistakes, or like, it's

482
00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:44,440
just poker is like just this endless battle, like not

483
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,319
only against everyone that you're playing against, but also against

484
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,039
yourself on a on a mental level, and just constantly

485
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:54,759
trying to improve, never you know, getting stale or stagnant

486
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:57,400
with your game, never like ever thinking like, hey, I

487
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,519
made it all that sort of stuff. So just constantly

488
00:24:59,519 --> 00:25:03,079
trying to fix, fix everything that I'm doing, and just

489
00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:06,119
get better is number one. And as long as I

490
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,200
feel like I'm getting better, I think I've done a

491
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,799
good job at compartmentalizing the results and putting them off

492
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:16,039
to the side and not really letting them get to me.

493
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,039
They always get to me when I bust out of

494
00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:23,039
a tournament live for the drive home, and then after

495
00:25:23,079 --> 00:25:26,359
the drive home, it's fine like that fifteen twenty minutes,

496
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,759
like that's like my vent yep, my tilt whatever, and

497
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:34,119
then yeah, go from there. I want to win a trophy.

498
00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:40,200
MTT quotes around trophy. So I don't know a ring,

499
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:44,319
a bracelet, anything that comes to some sort of trophy.

500
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,400
Win something at the wind where they have those awesome

501
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,480
trophies that I love, like anything right the South No,

502
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:50,960
I'm not.

503
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: Hey, that gets a trophy though.

504
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,559
Speaker 1: That's not a trophy. I don't care that they put

505
00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:59,599
that freaking thing on the GPI award list whatever. That

506
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,920
does not qualify as a trophy. A card protector does

507
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,880
not qualify as a trophy. I'm sorry, okay, And I

508
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,640
love the South Point, but no, it does not qualify

509
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,799
as a trophy. Okay. And also like, so if you win,

510
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,720
listen a quote unquote trophy MTT like the reason why

511
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:21,640
I said that, and also like kind of named it

512
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,200
as that is it's not a daily or a nightly,

513
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,079
which is what the South Point tournaments are. I'm not

514
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,279
trying to daily or a nightly. I'm trying to win

515
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,440
like something legitimate, and it doesn't necessarily have to be massive,

516
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,960
because you know, they have, you know, some of these

517
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,880
circuit events or what have you that are smaller and buying,

518
00:26:40,079 --> 00:26:42,599
not the largest first place prizes that sort of stuff.

519
00:26:42,599 --> 00:26:45,200
There's plenty of stuff that happens online, et cetera, et cetera.

520
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,680
Just want to like be able to fucking win one

521
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,759
of these damn things. It's just so damn hard new

522
00:26:52,839 --> 00:26:55,119
career best live tournament score would love for that to

523
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,160
happen as well. I mean, I don't have like that

524
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:02,119
high of a number to achieve. I think if I

525
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,480
get to twenty K, I'm there, so yeah, that would

526
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,720
be great. And then have a five figure MTT score

527
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,079
in a buy in of fifteen hundred dollars or less,

528
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,359
which would probably mean in that size buying tournament a

529
00:27:18,519 --> 00:27:22,960
very very deep run. So yeah, I mean, if you

530
00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:24,880
played a one K and you cash for ten K,

531
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,119
you're probably in the final couple tables, if you know,

532
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,400
the final two tables or final table, depending on the

533
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,720
size of the events. But just kind of along the

534
00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:37,240
lines of, like, you know, that's like my area that

535
00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:39,839
I play the most fifteen hundred dollars buy ins or

536
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,559
less and then just you know, being able to have

537
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,319
a really notable deep run. And if I can equate

538
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,480
that to like, you know, what what is it? What

539
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:52,960
is like a deep run? Well, probably a five figure score,

540
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,480
because like you know, if I play a one thousand

541
00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:57,920
dollars or sorry, yeah, one thousand dollars buy in tournament,

542
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,680
it has a thousand players. You know, if I can

543
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,559
get to the final three tables or so, that's pretty

544
00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:06,400
damn awesome. And I probably ticked this off, but you know,

545
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,160
it all just kind of goes along the lines of

546
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,680
just constantly trying to improve and get better and do

547
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,279
all that sort of stuff. So that's my h Those

548
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:17,160
are my goals for twenty twenty five.

549
00:28:17,799 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: Good goals, well my goals. I put it on a note.

550
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 3: They can be all achieved in one event and you'll

551
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,359
probably understand why once I get to it. But starting

552
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,920
from easiest goal to hardest, I just want to surpass

553
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,400
my old boss, Heath Chick.

554
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 2: You used to work with him.

555
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,039
Speaker 3: In total live earnings, I trail him by seventy three dollars,

556
00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:42,559
So that should.

557
00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:44,319
Speaker 1: Be easy, right, I should be were ahead, right?

558
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:47,559
Speaker 3: No, No, because he cashed for like forty seven hundred.

559
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,279
Then I cash for four kh, and then I so like, no,

560
00:28:51,359 --> 00:28:53,519
he's been ahead, He's always been ahead of me, and

561
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,519
this is the closest I've ever been. So it's pretty easy, right,

562
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,920
min cash something he doesn't play that much. You know,

563
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,400
a data of two and doing work, and so I

564
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:03,880
can do that.

565
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:04,319
Speaker 2: That's easy.

566
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,759
Speaker 3: Second one, play the WSP main event. I say it

567
00:29:07,759 --> 00:29:12,000
every year, but after playing the WPT World Championship this year,

568
00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:15,039
I really have the itch to play it in twenty

569
00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:18,599
twenty five. Obviously it's easy because you just got to

570
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,759
find ten k and buy in. That's my second goal.

571
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,119
Third goal, this is really sad. Cash in a WSP event.

572
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:30,720
I haven't come on a twenty three event. Cold streak

573
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,039
at the WSP not include that doesn't include dailies or

574
00:29:35,079 --> 00:29:37,279
free or media free roles, none of that stuff. Real

575
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,119
WSP bracelet events. Last was in twenty thirteen, so it's

576
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,200
only two a year, but when you say twenty three,

577
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,759
it sounds pretty awful. And then my fourth goal, it's

578
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:53,079
the toughest goal. I just wanted cash for five digits

579
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:54,960
total for the year. Last time I did that was

580
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,119
twenty thirteen. Last couple of years has been about seven k.

581
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,359
So you know I can achieve that all just by

582
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:06,880
basically cashing in the WSP main event in you know,

583
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,480
seven hundred and eightieth place or whatever they decide to

584
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,920
pay out this year. So yeah, there, My goal has

585
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,960
nothing to do with fixing shit like you have, because

586
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,319
I'm not gonna put in that effort and don't really

587
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:21,680
care that much about trophies except I would like to

588
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,720
win another south Point.

589
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can kind of protect it, so I

590
00:30:26,039 --> 00:30:27,000
don't sell that one.

591
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: I still think south Point needs to do like one

592
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,160
bigger tournament a month on a Sunday, and they can

593
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,839
give out a trophy for that one twelve.

594
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: You know, I'm happy they at least up the nightly

595
00:30:40,519 --> 00:30:44,079
the Saturday night buy into two hundred, so that's a

596
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:46,599
good start. Put some more money in the prize.

597
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: For But yeah, I mean the rake is outrageous.

598
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, we don't talk about the rake, I know.

599
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I like, I don't necessarily care about rake.

600
00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:59,680
I mean I listen, I probably should, and I don't

601
00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:03,079
like high raake. Yes, I get it, but sometimes you

602
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,319
just want to go play poker and you're just that's

603
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:08,079
what you're gonna do, just like sometimes you're gonna want

604
00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:09,880
to go buy something at the grocery store, you want

605
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,319
to go see a movie and it costs, you know,

606
00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:13,759
twenty five dollars and the popcorn cost eighteen, and you're

607
00:31:13,759 --> 00:31:16,079
just like, whatever, this is what I want to do.

608
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,559
So this is how I'm gonna do it, you know. Yeah,

609
00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:20,599
But I think, like, you know, if you if South

610
00:31:20,599 --> 00:31:24,480
Point did like a I don't know, a three hundred

611
00:31:24,519 --> 00:31:28,119
dollars or four hundred dollar like call it a Sunday major.

612
00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:30,359
I think we've talked about this before once a month, Yeah,

613
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,680
I think, yeah, that.

614
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:37,079
Speaker 2: Would be great. So well, I hope we achieve all adults.

615
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: You're fucking telling me, I don't know how long I'm

616
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,000
be able to keep.

617
00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:43,359
Speaker 3: This up.

618
00:31:44,759 --> 00:31:46,839
Speaker 2: Until you don't have a jump anymore pretty.

619
00:31:46,599 --> 00:31:49,759
Speaker 1: Much, right then I might need to really keep it up.

620
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:50,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point.

621
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:57,559
Speaker 1: You know you never know? All right, Um, that's gonna

let me know it make me feel better.

647
00:33:03,519 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: Exactly all right. Obviously we talked about the PGT stuff

648
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,240
last week or last episode, and I should say in depth,

649
00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:15,880
but again just quickly, we are entering the very very

650
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,839
very end of the PGT season it'll have the PGT

651
00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:23,319
Last Chance as the final series that kicks off in

652
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:26,000
a couple of days on January second. January second through

653
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,880
the ninth. It is six ten thousand dollars buying events.

654
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,519
That's when everyone is going to be, you know, trying

655
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:37,400
to earn as many points or compete on the leaderboard

656
00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:43,319
to ultimately get into the PGT Million Dollar Championship. For

657
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,640
those that are in or right around the top forty

658
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,519
of the PGT leaderboard, the top forty gets a qualification

659
00:33:50,599 --> 00:33:53,519
if you have met first of all, the you know,

660
00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:55,640
the number of points to get into the top forty,

661
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,920
and then also you have three PGT cashes. There are

662
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,079
some people in the top forty that need to get

663
00:34:01,079 --> 00:34:03,200
a third cash. There are some people that just need

664
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,759
to try and get some points to get into the

665
00:34:04,759 --> 00:34:07,440
top forty. Outside of that, you know, there's gonna be

666
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,079
plenty of players that are battling for the series leader

667
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:13,840
board because you could win a dream seat or you

668
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,599
could win a Dream Pass. The Dream Passes will compete

669
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,920
in the Dream Seat Invitational, and then from there there

670
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,760
will be six winners that go on to the PGT

671
00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:25,840
Million Dollar Championship. Streaming for every event will be happening

672
00:34:26,039 --> 00:34:30,679
on Poker Go January for the streaming aspect, January third

673
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,800
through ninth, we'll be streaming just about every day. We

674
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,360
will take one day off, whatever Sunday is in there.

675
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,079
I think it's the fifth or sixth. I don't even

676
00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:42,679

677
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,519
