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 That's the exact feeling I had as well. 13 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.840 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.

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 What is it? 64 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:41.800 Well? 65 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.400 I wish you'd give me some time. 66 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.960 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 Okay. 69 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:52.120 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 I think. 77 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:22.759 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 Just for what it's worth. 143 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.360 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 So yeah, I love it. 149 00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:57.839 All. 150 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.160 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 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 Eight somebody worked for. 158 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:27.680 I mean, that's just lot, sure, whatever you say. 159 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.399 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 Not horrible. 165 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:49.279 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 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 That makes sense? 188 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.360 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 Yeah? 191 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:11.519 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 Probably Yeah, I was gonna say they would be okay. 205 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:46.960 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 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 A numbers? 219 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.480 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 I do feel like, I. 222 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.200 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 I think you're missing a stat. 252 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:09.679 What's the stat? 253 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.559 How many wins? I thought you had at least one wins? 254 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:20.000 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 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 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 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 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 Okay, no, hypothetically, I guess. 291 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.879 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 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 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 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.
