Speaker 1: as bad as I thought.
Speaker 2: That's the exact feeling I had as well.

Speaker 1: I you know, I really, like really brought the number
Speaker 1: back to at least closer to even than it was.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so yeah, that's just gonna be the topic

Speaker 1: before we get into our poker results, everyone does this
Speaker 1: whole like, you know, best stories of the year, this,
Speaker 1: that and the other thing. Whatever. I'm not gonna do
Speaker 1: exactly that. That said, I want to know what you,
Speaker 1: mister PGG commissioner. What's your favorite PGT story of the
Speaker 1: year is? This should just come off right off the
Speaker 1: top of your head because you live and breathe this
Speaker 1: damn tour. Okay, so what's your what's your favorite moment
Speaker 1: or storyline win from somebody?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: I wish you'd give me some time.
Speaker 1: To pre No, heck, no, man, come on, it's better
Speaker 1: when it's like this.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: The number one story off the top of my head
Speaker 3: would probably be Daniel mcgroner winning the fifty k PPC
Speaker 3: obviously seventh WSP bracelet, also a PGT event that kind
Speaker 3: of helped propel him up the lead aboard where he
Speaker 3: currently and will probably finish second to Jeremy Osmas. I'll
Speaker 3: give you like a bunch of stories, but that's probably
Speaker 3: number one.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I won't go that one for me. I mean,
Speaker 1: partly because I was I didn't even think about the
Speaker 1: WSP stuff. I just kind of blocked that out, just
Speaker 1: trying to keep it more owned and operated stuff. I
Speaker 1: think mine would be. I mean, we've had a lot
Speaker 1: of good ones, like ones that came to mind that
Speaker 1: weren't my favorite. I mean, Jeremy Osmas's year, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's just, you know, really incredible, just the fact
Speaker 1: that he's obviously been grinding the PGT for quite some
Speaker 1: time now, every single season he's in the mix, but
Speaker 1: having the year that he has, has the lead at
Speaker 1: the top of the leaderboard, like he has all that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff, likely to become Player of the Year,
Speaker 1: like very well deserved. Another one is the two Foxes,
Speaker 1: like being in the top forty together at least currently
Speaker 1: as as things stand right now, I think that's really good.
Speaker 1: The year of David Coleman. I know, I know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of cooled off. Pg TY started super hot but
Speaker 1: then cooled off a little bit. I think that's cool
Speaker 1: as well. But mine is gonna be mister Seth Davies,
Speaker 1: who I feel like is finally gotten like the headlining
Speaker 1: victories that he's been striving so much for now. You know,
Speaker 1: many years ago he did win a World Cooperate Tour title.
Speaker 1: He has had a lot of success, but it always
Speaker 1: seemed like, you know, Davies was always like coming close
Speaker 1: to things but never really got like that big you know,
Speaker 1: marquee victory, like headlining victory, right, and he did it
Speaker 1: a couple of times this year to be honest. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he won the I remember the final PLO
Speaker 1: Series event, right, he wins that, Like it doesn't even
Speaker 1: really play PLO, but he wins that anyway, and that
Speaker 1: was like, okay, like you know, he's in the mix.
Speaker 1: Here we go. Then he wins Super High Rollable. Then
Speaker 1: he went Super High Rollable PLO. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: it's absolutely incredible for him for what he's done this year.
Speaker 1: He's currently sitting third on the PGT leaderboard. He has
Speaker 1: those three victories that I talked about, He's got nine
Speaker 1: cash his total, so kind of just like the I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't I'm trying to avoid and dance around calling
Speaker 1: it a breakout year because I don't think it's a
Speaker 1: breakout year. Like he's he's a known name, He's had
Speaker 1: a lot of success in the past. I did cite
Speaker 1: that that World Poker Tour title, like all that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff, right, So this isn't like a breakout year,
Speaker 1: you know, but it is a headlining year, a marquee
Speaker 1: year for him, you know something that I think. I
Speaker 1: think Seth Davis has always been a name. But I
Speaker 1: bet if you would have asked like most even like
Speaker 1: people that are into poker, like they might not have
Speaker 1: even have known that he has a World Poker Tour title, right,
Speaker 1: and they just be like, yeah, you know, he's just
Speaker 1: a high rolleror this that and the other thing. Whatever. Well,
Speaker 1: now he's finally you know, getting everything and it's all
Speaker 1: coming to him and it's all kind of breaking his
Speaker 1: way and that's great. You know, he's someone who I mean,
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of his videos that that he's
Speaker 1: had on run at once. I think they're great content,
Speaker 1: and you can certainly tell that he has an incredible
Speaker 1: poker mind. He really thinks things through, he studies a lot,
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. And then when all
Speaker 1: of that preparation just really, you know, is able to
Speaker 1: come through and you're able to land some victories, you know,
Speaker 1: I really do, you know, I'm a sucker for that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. So so he's my kind of my
Speaker 1: number one story out of the whole year.
Speaker 2: Just for what it's worth.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four nine point one million dollars in earnings
Speaker 3: Lassia twenty twenty three five point five. Year before that
Speaker 3: five point four, twenty twenty one, three point five. So yeah, definitely,
Speaker 3: you're right. You can't call it a breakout year, but
Speaker 3: headlining year is a very good way to put it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2: All.
Speaker 1: Right, let's get into the real head lightning years had
Speaker 1: by you and I our twenty four poker results. Do
Speaker 1: you want to go first? Should I go first? What
Speaker 1: do you want?
Speaker 3: I'll go first. I play a little less than Donald
Speaker 3: over there, but for some reason I played more live tournaments.
Speaker 3: I did not expect that, but I played twenty.
Speaker 1: Eight somebody worked for.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just lot, sure, whatever you say.
Speaker 3: The twenty eight live tournaments, I had nineteen and eight
Speaker 3: hundred and fifteen dollars in buyings. That does include the
Speaker 3: ten KWBT World Championship seat that I won, so really
Speaker 3: let's call it nine thousand in buyings, seven cashes unfortunately,
Speaker 3: zero final tables lost twenty four hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Not horrible.
Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be much worse than that.
Speaker 3: I guess that four K cash in the WBT invitation
Speaker 3: will definitely helped boost my numbers. Do play some cash
Speaker 3: games thirty a bians lost six hundred bucks before I
Speaker 3: went to Texas. The last two Texas trips I was
Speaker 3: winning nine hundred, so a little bit of a downswing
Speaker 3: thanks to Texas. Parker and Online don't really track any
Speaker 3: of my stats, but I don't play that much, probably
Speaker 3: down less than five hundred dollars, So that my stats
Speaker 3: for twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Okay, great, not as bad as mine, I guess in
Speaker 1: terms of being down money. So I played a total
Speaker 1: of so this is tricky. Let me let me just
Speaker 1: say this upfront. The way that I do my stats,
Speaker 1: and I should probably just get better at this, but whatever,
Speaker 1: So I wrote down I played two hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: four tournaments. Two hundred and forty eight of those were online,
Speaker 1: twenty six of them were live. So I keep all
Speaker 1: of my stuff manually in a Google sheet when I
Speaker 1: track them when I do live. Okay, So for example,
Speaker 1: I played the WPT Prime and I fired four bullets.
Speaker 1: They are four lines on my spreadsheet, right, So.
Speaker 2: That makes sense?
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, because because it's a re entry, it's essentially
Speaker 1: like a new tournament, Like what does it matter? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, ye, when I do it online just because of
Speaker 1: like the it's mostly because of the speed of online.
Speaker 1: You know, you're you have multiple tables up, like you're
Speaker 1: just busting clicking buttons and re entering, like you're just
Speaker 1: constantly doing that. I just I have them written down
Speaker 1: what I'm playing that day, and I just put tallies,
Speaker 1: so like I might get to four tallies or five,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And then I'll just loop
Speaker 1: it all in at the end. So if I play
Speaker 1: a twenty two dollars tournament five times, I'll just put
Speaker 1: I'll put it on one line. The buying was one
Speaker 1: hundred and ten dollars and then go from there. So
Speaker 1: the number is.
Speaker 2: Probably Yeah, I was gonna say they would be okay.
Speaker 1: Like if I if I did the online like I
Speaker 1: do the live, it's probably more like, I mean six hundred.
Speaker 1: I probably average two three buyings per tournament. I mean
Speaker 1: I have outside of the some of them, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: at like six. Who knows? We play like I said,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's when it's a re entry. I mean
Speaker 1: it's essentially a new tournament. So like, what's the difference
Speaker 1: if I play a fifty five dollars tournament five times
Speaker 1: today or if I just play it once every Sunday
Speaker 1: for the next five sundays. Who cares? So then what
Speaker 1: what would my what number?
Speaker 3: You said, what would the live number be if you
Speaker 3: did it the same way you did it online?
Speaker 1: A numbers?
Speaker 3: Yeah, But like to like Prime, you're in for four bullets,
Speaker 3: But how many other events are you in for multiple bullets?
Speaker 2: I do feel like, I.
Speaker 1: Mean most of them. It's like a six hundred dollars win,
Speaker 1: it's like the fifteen hundred or something at the w
Speaker 1: s AP you might fire two bullets like stuff like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, so it's it's probably ten to fifteen, I'll
Speaker 1: say so anyway, just just putting it out there. So
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy four tournaments play two hundred and
Speaker 1: forty eight online. You can put the asterisks there. You
Speaker 1: can put the asterix on the twenty six live tournaments.
Speaker 1: I don't care where you put the asterix, but the
Speaker 1: asterix is there. Fifty two forty two dollars and seventy
Speaker 1: cents in buyings. That's an average buyand of one hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety dollars and sixty seven cents online. Just over
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars in buying twenty five thousand, forty
Speaker 1: two point seven, which is an average of one hundred
Speaker 1: dollars and ninety eight cents. Call it one oh one
Speaker 1: live twenty seven thousand, two hundred dollars, an average of
Speaker 1: one thousand and forty six dollars and fifteen cents. My
Speaker 1: numbers aren't as high this year. I only played one
Speaker 1: ten K this year. I played two. Last year, I
Speaker 1: played the wsp Man Event and the WPT World Championship.
Speaker 1: Each of the last two years, I only played the
Speaker 1: w spe Man Event this year. Now, I did play
Speaker 1: the napt Man event. But still that's you know, five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars that's not not there this year, so keeping
Speaker 1: those numbers a little bit smaller than normal. I had
Speaker 1: eighty one cashes, seventy nine online, two live. I am
Speaker 1: currently I'll say currently because there's still two days left
Speaker 1: man and assumes the podcast. I am firing up table
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand, one hundred and fourteen dollars in the red.
Speaker 2: I think you're missing a stat.
Speaker 1: What's the stat?
Speaker 2: How many wins? I thought you had at least one wins?
Speaker 1: So and I I didn't really well. I definitely had
Speaker 1: no wins fucking live. I had like no fucking cashes.
Speaker 1: Couldn't do shit live live. It was the year of
Speaker 1: I did really well to like build stacks early and
Speaker 1: make it to registration on a single bullet when I
Speaker 1: planned for multiple bullets other than WPT prime. That sucked
Speaker 1: or actually nah, yeah that sucked. But I could never
Speaker 1: like once like registration closed, like it was like the
Speaker 1: wind just got sucked out of my sales. It could
Speaker 1: could make nothing happen. I won one tournament online in July,
Speaker 1: and it was a PLO tournament.
Speaker 2: If you can believe that, no, you something like a
Speaker 2: month ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, in November, I won another tournament. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I won a It was a fifty five dollars tournament.
Speaker 1: I was in for three buy ins. I won that one. Uh,
Speaker 1: and then I have a I have a bunch of
Speaker 1: those are the only two I won this year. So
Speaker 1: I had two wins, but I had a bunch of other,
Speaker 1: like like this month. I've actually closed this month fairly strong.
Speaker 1: I had a they have this on Sunday on WSV
Speaker 1: dot com. They have this fifty five dollars mystery bounty
Speaker 1: tournament with twenty five k guaranteed. What is it? It's
Speaker 1: the thirtieth So two sundays ago, I pulled the biggest
Speaker 1: bounty in the tournament for twenty five hundred. So there
Speaker 1: was that, And last night I had I took second
Speaker 1: in that same tournament for twenty four hundred. And then
Speaker 1: I have a bunch of other like you know six on.
Speaker 3: How do you do you count mystery bounties in this
Speaker 3: overall negative number? Like when you let's say you play
Speaker 3: the fifty five.
Speaker 1: The cash in the one that I won. The thing
Speaker 1: was I have the full cash, but it was like
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred of the twenty six hundred that I
Speaker 1: cashed for is the bounty pull. I mean that's part,
Speaker 1: that's part of the price.
Speaker 2: Okay, no, hypothetically, I guess.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure WSP you can win a bounty without
Speaker 3: being in the money, right, Yeah, because they start it's
Speaker 3: not like a few spots early.
Speaker 1: Now level nineteen, so you might you might be in
Speaker 1: the money, you might not be usually not in the money,
Speaker 1: usually just outside. So it's kind of like a it's
Speaker 1: like a double bubble in a way, like you're trying
Speaker 1: to I mean, it depends who you are. But yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people were trying to get into that
Speaker 1: mystery bounty portion, which is it kicks in level nineteen
Speaker 1: on WSP dot com and then the bounties go from
Speaker 1: there or the money comes after that. So so yeah,
Speaker 1: cash games, I just wrote, fuck cash, I don't play them.
Speaker 1: The hell with them?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, we're not that bad. Look minus twenty five k,
Speaker 3: minus twenty four hundred, this is like, I know, it's
Speaker 3: like nothing, it's nothing.
Speaker 1: I know, like when you when we say these numbers,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people out there might be like, wow,
Speaker 1: that's bad or while they suck, or you know whatever,
Speaker 1: let me tell everyone out there if you're not already aware,
Speaker 1: which if you listen to this podcast, you probably are
Speaker 1: generally aware because we talk about this stuff pretty openly.
Speaker 1: I would say the majority of tournament players are losing
Speaker 1: every single year, massive amounts. Okay, So like the fact
Speaker 1: that I recouped essentially half of my buy ins is
Speaker 1: like pretty good, right, I mean, it's just it's hard, man.
Speaker 1: This is why, like people are in infinite dollars of makeup,
Speaker 1: Like why everyone's pretty much broke out there. Like it's
Speaker 1: just how it is now. I am, of course very
Speaker 1: grateful that I have a regular job, I have some
Speaker 1: displo income, I have really good friends and a support
Speaker 1: group who like will invest in me when I want
Speaker 1: to take some bigger shots and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: So like I'm not, you know, just like yoloing my
Speaker 1: life away essentially, Like it's always you know, make you
Speaker 1: make sure your bills are paid, you do this, you
Speaker 1: do that, you check all those boxes. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: if you have some extra money to play for it
Speaker 1: can go into the poker bank. Well cool, let's do that.
Speaker 1: You know that said, if I had to like play professionally,
Speaker 1: I would probably, you know, want to jump off the
Speaker 1: top of the straps, because especially tournaments, it's just like
Speaker 1: you can be so good. Not that I'm saying that
Speaker 1: I'm so good, but I definitely feel like I'm better
Speaker 1: than I have ever been. I try and get better
Speaker 1: every time I play, try and get better like every week,
Speaker 1: every month, every year, et cetera. And I definitely feel
Speaker 1: like I am getting better. And yet you just don't
Speaker 1: win because shit just happens and it's just eff and brutal.
Speaker 1: I mean, like it just it sucks in tournaments because
Speaker 1: you can just you know, you get it, your money in,
Speaker 1: you lose, and you're out the door because you have
Speaker 1: no chips left. And in a cash game, I mean
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different. You can put money back
Speaker 1: on the table and just fire it up and and
Speaker 1: and go at it that way. You know, tournaments it's
Speaker 1: it's not as easy, I would say. You know, even
Speaker 1: if you do rebuy or whatever, you know, you're rebuying
Speaker 1: generally with maybe a smaller stack comparative to the blinds
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So it's just it's tricky in tournaments,
Speaker 1: and every tournament is a freaking minefield. Man. You have
Speaker 1: to like you have to get lucky to win. Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean I yes. Poker is a game that is
Speaker 1: predominantly skill based. You know, don't get it confused with
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, but there is luck involved, right, just
Speaker 1: like there's luck involved when you invest in the stock market,
Speaker 1: picking a winning stock or picking a stock.
Speaker 3: Out of No, it's all skillkill.
Speaker 1: The skill in investing is buy more every being able
Speaker 1: to ride it out over the long run. Like that's
Speaker 1: essentially the skill.
Speaker 3: Like you just we have different investing strategies.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about, you I'm saying, like, if
Speaker 1: you invest, you just you like buy every day, every
Speaker 1: week or every month or whatever you said, is like
Speaker 1: your cadence and you're in it for the long haul.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not saying like, you know, you just buy
Speaker 1: one stock and hold it forever.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: It's a consistency of buying and putting the money away
Speaker 1: and just knowing that like in the back of your mind,
Speaker 1: even though there's gonna be fluctuations you know, every single day,
Speaker 1: every single hour, every single minute that go up and
Speaker 1: down and can go up and down by a you know,
Speaker 1: fair amount percentage wise in the long run, you're hoping
Speaker 1: like eight to ten percent compounded over time is like
Speaker 1: how you win, right, So, like the skill is having
Speaker 1: the discipline kind of just like the skill is in poker,
Speaker 1: like just being able to like you have to just
Speaker 1: kind of be consistent and be disciplined over a long
Speaker 1: period of time because variance is a bitch, and that's
Speaker 1: how it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do have a question for you. My wife
Speaker 3: asked me this question and about swaps and when you
Speaker 3: sell pieces in my app, like the ten k, right
Speaker 3: I had? Obviously you had five percent. Few other people
Speaker 3: had the percentages. I still put the buy in as
Speaker 3: ten k because to me, it just gets too confusing
Speaker 3: to try and figure out the percentages you actually have.
Speaker 3: I just put the full numbers, the full cash. Obviously
Speaker 3: my dad is always going to be wrong. But for
Speaker 3: someone like you, how do you treat when you're selling
Speaker 3: pieces or doing swaps like that?
Speaker 1: I put like the full buy in, Like if I
Speaker 1: play the like the five thousand dollars nap tea main event,
Speaker 1: like you know, five thousand dollars is the buying and
Speaker 1: like if I were to cash for ten k, I
Speaker 1: would put ten k in my results. Yeah, same okay,
Speaker 1: but it would also be the same like if I
Speaker 1: were to if I were to sell half and if
Speaker 1: I put twenty five hundred down and then put five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars as my result, it's like the same thing
Speaker 1: percentage wise.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I'm just wonder how you, like, personally do I.
Speaker 3: I don't infector any swaps.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to make it as easy as possible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like you know, I I do keep pretty meticulous stats
Speaker 1: in the sheet and like I, you know, do it
Speaker 1: all out manually and whatever. But you know, I'm also
Speaker 1: trying to make that as efficient as possible, so you know,
Speaker 1: cross referencing that by my other sheets that I have
Speaker 1: where it's like list all the action and where it's
Speaker 1: going and this and that. And I'm not not going
Speaker 1: to do that too much of that, you know. So
Speaker 1: maybe maybe if I was a professional then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I was about to say.
Speaker 2: If you're a professionally do.
Speaker 1: If you're a professional, you want to be as meticulous
Speaker 1: as possible writing all the things down. You know, you're
Speaker 1: probably doing things like I drove seventeen miles, you know,
Speaker 1: like you know, to get all these taxs right, up
Speaker 1: and this and that and the other. So so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what does this know? Why why you don't track your
Speaker 1: SSEULF online?
Speaker 2: No, not at all. I don't. I don't play it
Speaker 2: like any any of them.
Speaker 1: Only like you know, you said you could probably just
Speaker 1: email can and you can say, hey, can I have
Speaker 1: my thing?
Speaker 3: And I still have money on WSP so I'm not
Speaker 3: broke yet, so I don't.
Speaker 2: I literally maybe.
Speaker 3: I mean this last couple of weeks, over this Christmas break,
Speaker 3: I've played a lot more, but like in January, when
Speaker 3: we're back to work, I might not play till June.
Speaker 3: So I don't play to the level I used to
Speaker 3: when I was living in Australia.
Speaker 2: So I don't track anything online. It's probably not a
Speaker 2: good idea, but that's just that's just the way I
Speaker 2: do it. I'm there to have.
Speaker 1: A good in January. One event, the WIN is having
Speaker 1: a series, the signature series that they always do. I
Speaker 1: remember when I first got into poker and I saw
Speaker 1: the WIN signature series like full page ad and card Player,
Speaker 1: like I just I remember to this Day's green and
Speaker 1: it's still still the same branding. It looks the same,
Speaker 1: it is, it has never you know gotten old. It's
Speaker 1: it's just absolutely timeless that like the Wind does things perfectly,
Speaker 1: and I just remember being like man Signature, like I
Speaker 1: want to, like I want to play the Signature Series
Speaker 1: one day and I want to get into it. So
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for that when I see it. They
Speaker 1: have them very often now, you know, they have a
Speaker 1: few obviously big series every single year at the Wind,
Speaker 1: but then it's almost monthly. When they're not running a
Speaker 1: big series, they have the Signature series. They have one
Speaker 1: in January. We have a lot of work, but one
Speaker 1: of the one of the events, I think it might
Speaker 1: be the sixth and at all or one or whatever.
Speaker 1: It it lines up with like the Gap, So I'm
Speaker 1: going to try and get out there for that and
Speaker 1: uh and play that and then maybe play some stuff
Speaker 1: in February. I don't know yet, and then yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I talked about it last time. I want to
Speaker 1: go to Texas, so that would also that I want
Speaker 1: to try and do in April. So we'll see, and
Speaker 1: then just try and play online, try and try and
Speaker 1: not miss a Sunday. Shout out Patrick Leonard. He doesn't
Speaker 1: miss a Sunday, but I try and not miss a Sunday.
Speaker 1: It's hard, but you know, gotta do what you gotta do,
Speaker 1: all right, looking ahead to next year, twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: poker goals, I'll go first this time because you went
Speaker 1: first on the last one. Number one on mine is
Speaker 1: fix shit. Just continue to like work on my game
Speaker 1: and fix things and get better. You know, that's all
Speaker 1: into this bucket. It's like the more I think I learn,
Speaker 1: the more I realize I have leaks to plug, or
Speaker 1: the more I realize I'm making mistakes, or like, it's
Speaker 1: just poker is like just this endless battle, like not
Speaker 1: only against everyone that you're playing against, but also against
Speaker 1: yourself on a on a mental level, and just constantly
Speaker 1: trying to improve, never you know, getting stale or stagnant
Speaker 1: with your game, never like ever thinking like, hey, I
Speaker 1: made it all that sort of stuff. So just constantly
Speaker 1: trying to fix, fix everything that I'm doing, and just
Speaker 1: get better is number one. And as long as I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm getting better, I think I've done a
Speaker 1: good job at compartmentalizing the results and putting them off
Speaker 1: to the side and not really letting them get to me.
Speaker 1: They always get to me when I bust out of
Speaker 1: a tournament live for the drive home, and then after
Speaker 1: the drive home, it's fine like that fifteen twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: like that's like my vent yep, my tilt whatever, and
Speaker 1: then yeah, go from there. I want to win a trophy.
Speaker 1: MTT quotes around trophy. So I don't know a ring,
Speaker 1: a bracelet, anything that comes to some sort of trophy.
Speaker 1: Win something at the wind where they have those awesome
Speaker 1: trophies that I love, like anything right the South No,
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 2: Hey, that gets a trophy though.
Speaker 1: That's not a trophy. I don't care that they put
Speaker 1: that freaking thing on the GPI award list whatever. That
Speaker 1: does not qualify as a trophy. A card protector does
Speaker 1: not qualify as a trophy. I'm sorry, okay, And I
Speaker 1: love the South Point, but no, it does not qualify
Speaker 1: as a trophy. Okay. And also like, so if you win,
Speaker 1: listen a quote unquote trophy MTT like the reason why
Speaker 1: I said that, and also like kind of named it
Speaker 1: as that is it's not a daily or a nightly,
Speaker 1: which is what the South Point tournaments are. I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to daily or a nightly. I'm trying to win
Speaker 1: like something legitimate, and it doesn't necessarily have to be massive,
Speaker 1: because you know, they have, you know, some of these
Speaker 1: circuit events or what have you that are smaller and buying,
Speaker 1: not the largest first place prizes that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of stuff that happens online, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Just want to like be able to fucking win one
Speaker 1: of these damn things. It's just so damn hard new
Speaker 1: career best live tournament score would love for that to
Speaker 1: happen as well. I mean, I don't have like that
Speaker 1: high of a number to achieve. I think if I
Speaker 1: get to twenty K, I'm there, so yeah, that would
Speaker 1: be great. And then have a five figure MTT score
Speaker 1: in a buy in of fifteen hundred dollars or less,
Speaker 1: which would probably mean in that size buying tournament a
Speaker 1: very very deep run. So yeah, I mean, if you
Speaker 1: played a one K and you cash for ten K,
Speaker 1: you're probably in the final couple tables, if you know,
Speaker 1: the final two tables or final table, depending on the
Speaker 1: size of the events. But just kind of along the
Speaker 1: lines of, like, you know, that's like my area that
Speaker 1: I play the most fifteen hundred dollars buy ins or
Speaker 1: less and then just you know, being able to have
Speaker 1: a really notable deep run. And if I can equate
Speaker 1: that to like, you know, what what is it? What
Speaker 1: is like a deep run? Well, probably a five figure score,
Speaker 1: because like you know, if I play a one thousand
Speaker 1: dollars or sorry, yeah, one thousand dollars buy in tournament,
Speaker 1: it has a thousand players. You know, if I can
Speaker 1: get to the final three tables or so, that's pretty
Speaker 1: damn awesome. And I probably ticked this off, but you know,
Speaker 1: it all just kind of goes along the lines of
Speaker 1: just constantly trying to improve and get better and do
Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. So that's my h Those
Speaker 1: are my goals for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Good goals, well my goals. I put it on a note.
Speaker 3: They can be all achieved in one event and you'll
Speaker 3: probably understand why once I get to it. But starting
Speaker 3: from easiest goal to hardest, I just want to surpass
Speaker 3: my old boss, Heath Chick.
Speaker 2: You used to work with him.
Speaker 3: In total live earnings, I trail him by seventy three dollars,
Speaker 3: So that should.
Speaker 1: Be easy, right, I should be were ahead, right?
Speaker 3: No, No, because he cashed for like forty seven hundred.
Speaker 3: Then I cash for four kh, and then I so like, no,
Speaker 3: he's been ahead, He's always been ahead of me, and
Speaker 3: this is the closest I've ever been. So it's pretty easy, right,
Speaker 3: min cash something he doesn't play that much. You know,
Speaker 3: a data of two and doing work, and so I
Speaker 3: can do that.
Speaker 2: That's easy.
Speaker 3: Second one, play the WSP main event. I say it
Speaker 3: every year, but after playing the WPT World Championship this year,
Speaker 3: I really have the itch to play it in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five. Obviously it's easy because you just got to
Speaker 3: find ten k and buy in. That's my second goal.
Speaker 3: Third goal, this is really sad. Cash in a WSP event.
Speaker 3: I haven't come on a twenty three event. Cold streak
Speaker 3: at the WSP not include that doesn't include dailies or
Speaker 3: free or media free roles, none of that stuff. Real
Speaker 3: WSP bracelet events. Last was in twenty thirteen, so it's
Speaker 3: only two a year, but when you say twenty three,
Speaker 3: it sounds pretty awful. And then my fourth goal, it's
Speaker 3: the toughest goal. I just wanted cash for five digits
Speaker 3: total for the year. Last time I did that was
Speaker 3: twenty thirteen. Last couple of years has been about seven k.
Speaker 3: So you know I can achieve that all just by
Speaker 3: basically cashing in the WSP main event in you know,
Speaker 3: seven hundred and eightieth place or whatever they decide to
Speaker 3: pay out this year. So yeah, there, My goal has
Speaker 3: nothing to do with fixing shit like you have, because
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna put in that effort and don't really
Speaker 3: care that much about trophies except I would like to
Speaker 3: win another south Point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can kind of protect it, so I
Speaker 2: don't sell that one.
Speaker 1: I still think south Point needs to do like one
Speaker 1: bigger tournament a month on a Sunday, and they can
Speaker 1: give out a trophy for that one twelve.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm happy they at least up the nightly
Speaker 3: the Saturday night buy into two hundred, so that's a
Speaker 3: good start. Put some more money in the prize.
Speaker 1: For But yeah, I mean the rake is outrageous.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, we don't talk about the rake, I know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I like, I don't necessarily care about rake.
Speaker 1: I mean I listen, I probably should, and I don't
Speaker 1: like high raake. Yes, I get it, but sometimes you
Speaker 1: just want to go play poker and you're just that's
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do, just like sometimes you're gonna want
Speaker 1: to go buy something at the grocery store, you want
Speaker 1: to go see a movie and it costs, you know,
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars and the popcorn cost eighteen, and you're
Speaker 1: just like, whatever, this is what I want to do.
Speaker 1: So this is how I'm gonna do it, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But I think, like, you know, if you if South
Speaker 1: Point did like a I don't know, a three hundred
Speaker 1: dollars or four hundred dollar like call it a Sunday major.
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about this before once a month, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, that.
Speaker 2: Would be great. So well, I hope we achieve all adults.
Speaker 1: You're fucking telling me, I don't know how long I'm
Speaker 1: be able to keep.
Speaker 3: This up.
Speaker 2: Until you don't have a jump anymore pretty.
Speaker 1: Much, right then I might need to really keep it up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good point.
Speaker 1: You know you never know? All right, Um, that's gonna
Speaker 1: do it for our what our yearly rec up on
Speaker 1: our own stats? Yep. If you want to let us
Speaker 1: know about your yearly stats, you don't have to put

Speaker 1: to ultimately get into the PGT Million Dollar Championship. For
Speaker 1: those that are in or right around the top forty
Speaker 1: of the PGT leaderboard, the top forty gets a qualification
Speaker 1: if you have met first of all, the you know,
Speaker 1: the number of points to get into the top forty,
Speaker 1: and then also you have three PGT cashes. There are
Speaker 1: some people in the top forty that need to get
Speaker 1: a third cash. There are some people that just need
Speaker 1: to try and get some points to get into the
Speaker 1: top forty. Outside of that, you know, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: plenty of players that are battling for the series leader
Speaker 1: board because you could win a dream seat or you
