Reset the clock. New year, new process. Bankroll defined. Weekly grind planned. Results tracked, not chased. Poker doesn’t reward vibes. It rewards structure. 👇 lobosturn.substack.com/p/reset-the-... #Poker #MTT #PokerLife #ProcessOverResults

Should have sounded the alarm several months before the election. This was going to happen. It was literally in the fucking script.

So. @torchystacos.bsky.social changed the recipe of their Diablo sauce. New recipe is trash. Pure trash. I took three bites of it and asked the counter person if it was a bad batch and was informed about recipe change. Literally the only reason I go to Torchy’s. 😞

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

This is the wrong take. I want my kids to have their phones in school. If I can do anything at all to help I will. Even if that means calming them down, telling them I love them, letting them tell me they love me. We’ve been through a couple of shutdowns. The fear is overwhelming.

As a super fan Marvel guy I was cautiously optimistic about the new Superman movie. Saw it last night with the kiddos. Wow. Just wow. Gunn knocked it out of the park! The intro was perfect. Fell in love with Krypto instantly. Lane’s character was refreshing. Great banter throughout. Bravo!

Be aware of this provision in the Senate version of the BBB that affects all pro/am gamblers: If this version passes the House, you can only deduct up to 90% of your losses, not the current 100%, which means you could be paying taxes on money you didn't profit. See pictures for more info #PokerSky

Late in a poker tournament. In the cutoff with 14 bigs. Standard min raise from low jack (21 bigs). I see QQ. So dreamy. Shove. Called by bigger stack on the button with JJ. Folds around. Approximate odds: • QQ wins: ~81.9% • JJ wins: ~17.6% • Tie (split pot): ~0.5% J in the window.

This is the correct take. As much as I get angry at them for voting for the orange turd, I also get that most of them are not politically educated. They really don’t understand the damage that was promised and is going to be done.

Becoming a better poker player takes grit. It’s not just about the hands you play—it’s the hours spent reviewing, studying, and plugging those leaks. Stay disciplined. The grind off the table is what sets you apart on it. #PokerGrind #NoLeaks #StudyToCrush #KeepImproving

Damien Franco @damienfranco.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Improving at poker isn’t just about playing more hands—it’s about purposeful practice. Review spots, study concepts, and focus on what actually moves the needle. Random grinding builds volume; targeted study builds skill. #PokerGrind #StudyToCrush #PokerLife #GrindSmart
