In my 15 years in poker I've heard countless horror stories from female players. "Surely they must be exaggerating", I thought at first. They weren't. We need to fix this shit, and here's how. "Queens of the game", starring @JenShahade @FirstLadyPoker :

LAST CALL S2E5: Queens of the Game

#FiveJobs before poker + what I learned: 1. Sheep shearer: Wear gloves. They bite a LOT. 2. Prawn farm: Prawn blood is blue. 3. Soccer referee: ~500 new insults. 4. McDonald's: Frozen patties=great indoor hockey pucks. 5. Gas station: Calling your boss a cunt will get you fired.

1. USA: Phil Hellmuth. Obnoxious, delusional man-child. Thinks he's #1 while the rest of the (poker) world laughs at him.

And here it is! My final article. I'm super curious to hear what people think. Personally I think it's the most important strategy article I've ever written, and it has next to no poker strategy. And it's LONG. It has 1000 words on personality tests alone:

4 Insights from 11 Years, 70,567 MTTs, and 6,304,190 Hands of Poker

Tournament veteran Miikka Anttonen's final advice to Upswing readers.

@rob_yong_ @partypoker As basically a rec nowadays my biggest issue is the schedule. Why do you insist on making everything a PKO? Why is it so hard to find a regular fucking freezeout online? Been saying this for years, PKOs and turbos should make for like 10% of schedule, not 90%.

It is day 8 of winning at election betting. I'd promised to treat my friends to a nice dinner after Biden won. I had no choice but to cook the dinner myself, claim that it's minimalist French cuisine and hope that they buy it. This is the main course, coconut chips avec hot sauce

8/8 hands was trying to get a Frenchman to fold a flush on a non-paired board 25BB deep with the nut flush blocker. One might call that an operation that was not very likely to succeed. But hey, at least I saved 80 euros in excess luggage fees by carrying the screen in my hands.

It is day 5 of winning at election betting. This is breakfast, lunch, and dinner. @realDonaldTrump could you at least send me a stimulus check? Or even just Fedex some leftover cake from the canceled victory party?

Something that's always baffled me: Why aren't sites running qualifiers for #WSOP side events? So many players would kill for a chance to play in any WSOP event. Something like a $109 satty to win a 2-3k package (1k WSOP, flight, hotel)?

Been observing/studying $crypto a fair bit over the last few months. So many things about it reminds me of the early days of online poker (both good and bad). Several ways to make big money, everyone thinks their strategy is best, yet 95%+ of the player pool are idiots
