A man at the poker table just asked, “Will your BF get mad if I buy you a drink?” I mean, I’m single… but the answer will always be “No” & if a future BF has issues with it then we’d no longer be together. 😅 Free drinks = Always GTO
Just when you thought the
@WSOP
couldn’t get any better… I joined it! 💕 Had an amazing experience. Met lots of likeminded grinders & learned a lot about myself as a poker player. I’m already looking forward to next year! ✨

@Joeingram1

Ayyyy - it’s the Legion’s finesttttt,
@Joeingram1
!! 🔥Sometimes the best Vegas trips are the ones with no plans – just go with the flow and see where the night takes you! ✨
I had so much negative energy stored in my body today that I ended up burning over 500 calories in 35 mins at the gym tonight! I’m feeling better now! Haha 🙈🔥
Just gracefully busted from the
@msptpoker
ladies tourney in 11th!! What I took away from this tournament was even more determination to teach more women to play poker, especially more Latinas like me! 🔥 We gotta represent!! Who wants to learn if I start a poker mentor club?! ✨
I had the honor of picking up Rodney “Patrick” McNeal from prison after spending 25 years wrongfully incarcerated and then taking him to his first meal. His positive outlook on life left me inspired and motivated to work even harder! Happy Freedom Day, Patrick!!
I guess you can call me PROFESSOR SALINAS now because I just accepted an adjunct position at California Western School of Law to co-teach the
@CA_Innocence
clinic for this upcoming term. (Of course, in addition to my work as a Staff Attorney) ⚖️
I’d never thought I’d say this, but today was my last day at the California Innocence Project. I’m honored to have been able to work alongside such badasses. Much like the founders and my friends at CIP, my work in the innocence arena isn’t over. Stay tuned for my next moves!🤍⚖️
@SanDiegoPD
Wow! You released that video in under 24 hours with introductories and all. Thank you. Now PLEASE do the same in ALL police involved deaths/critical injuries, not just when convenient. TRANSPARENCY IS KEY!
In 2018, I got assigned one of my first cases as an intern at the
@CA_Innocence
. That case continued to keep me up at night. Today, I’m visiting that same client again but this time as an attorney. We’re determined to solve this crime and find some evidence to

him!
Today we’re presenting to high school students on the leading causes of wrongful convictions and how we investigate claims of innocence in our office! ⚖️

Conducting an investigation, judging a regional mock trial competition, and presenting on the issues leading to wrongful convictions in my hometown was a full circle experience. ⚖️
Happy Birthday to Mr. Papiiii GTO,
@Joeingram1
🎂 Your infectious passion for every game in life is inspiring. 🔥 Beyond the poker world, your impact knows no bounds in the way you uplift others. ✨ May life deal you winning cards and every bet lead to victory. 🌟

UPDATE:
1) LOST ABOUT 30% OF MY STACK IN THE LAST HAND BEFORE THE BREAK WITH AQ.
2) APPARENTLY WE WERE PLAYING FOR ALMOST AN HOUR WITH NO RED KING IN OUR DECK.
3) I CAME BACK FROM THE BREAK TO POCKET KINGS. GOT THAT 30% BACK.
(PIC DOES NOT REFLECT THAT)
Wake up, fly to Northern California, conduct 3 different prison interviews, & fly back to San Diego all in less than 12 hours. How’s that for a successful investigation day on a Monday?! So lucky to be able to supervise such dedicated freedom fighters!

Yesterday I was asked how I would rate my first

and all I can say is it leaves you with a heavy heart, but lights a fire like no other to work hard and get more exonerations!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Proud to work with the

@realDonaldTrump
You first used the phrase “law and order” in your 1990 Playboy interview regarding the Central Park Five. Even after exonerated, you still thought those men were guilty. You have no understanding of law or order.
Won two more parole hearings today!!! That means that is two more clients who will be able to reunite with their family and get a second chance at life!! It’s days like this that keep me going!! ⚖️
This lawyer is working hard to strike that healthy work/life balance and is finally getting a good rhythm down.
Been putting in some work these last 4 weeks & it’s nice to finally see some results! We’re just getting started! 🔥
Rodney Roberts served 18 years for a crime he didn’t do. He eventually represented himself with support from the Innocence Project, leading to his exoneration via DNA evidence. Mr. Roberts now works as a Re-entry Coach to help other exonerees!

Since today is
#NationalPublicDefenseDay
, I’m excited to announce I was recently hired as a state appointed parole attorney for the CA Board of Parole. Also, yes, I’m lucky to be able to do this part time in addition to my work at the California Innocence Project! ⚖️
Another successful legal visit. But honestly, leaving the prison never feels good. I wish I could make this criminal legal system move quicker.
#ForTheInnocent
Just got off the phone with my client I represented in my 1st parole hearing a few months ago. He called to tell me all about his 1st week as a free man in San Francisco. The shock in his voice when he learned he was my 1st parole hearing was priceless! I live for these moments!
My half marathon is in exactly two weeks and life got in the way of completing my full training program. HOWEVER, if you know me, then you know I’m still gonna give it my all.
Send your pre/during/post marathon tips and tricks please. 🙏🏽
