Welcome to my very first article as a Poker Today contributor!

First and foremost, a shout-out has to be made to the Donk Overlord of All That Is the Steemit Poker League ( @spl ), @Tuck-Fheman and his A+ Guy, @BigPChef. You have truly created something beautiful and dynamic in this poker league, my friends. I like to think of you guys sitting on top of your hill, high as fuck, passing a blunt and watching us, your ‘kids’, playing and getting along and are just PLEASED. Thanks guys. Y’all are fucking epic.

And thanks to my teammates, @nicnas and @chiefmappster for trusting me with their baby #PokerToday. I’ll do my best.

Which makes me think… do you guys out there know how the three of us got together? It’s a pretty epic story, I’ll try to be brief (not my speciality but I can TRY)

I was playing one of my first tournaments on @spl and this little shit ‘@nicNAS’ - who was just OBSERVING, by the way... he had already gotten knocked out - was throwing straight SHADE at me for playing slow. I think I was head - to - head at the time and SUUPER low stacked.

Tuck was there, of course, ‘cuz Tucks’ ERRYWHERE. They made a side bet on who would win between the two of us...

Nic bet that I would LOSE. Can you EVEN??

Well, of course I came back and won in an EPIC fashion. It took about eight hours but I WON, DAMMIT. And so it began.

When @Tuck started the Team League, @nic invited me and grabbed @chief and now…

See how crazy the universe works? These guys are my partners, my TEAM. And y’all, we are flowing.

Let’s begin with the Team League standings:

Ohhhhhhh snap. What’s that?

You’re looking at it right. Team Epic in the lead. :shrug: NBD.
;)

teamworkmakesthedreamwork, can you dig?

Now, this WAS before last night/this morning’s game, so I SUPPOSE it’s possible that Level 5 knocked us down a notch… I mean. Anything's possible, amirite?

WhaleTank and Community Casino

@chiefmappster introduced @nicNAS and me to WhaleTank, a better version of the show SharkTank, and we got together and pitched our idea for Community Casino to the Whales there… it was a crazy-awesome learning experience and we have already gotten really positive feedback and made some fantastic partnerships! I’m so excited for this idea to really take off and make some positive change in the world. Keep your eyes open and come along for the ride!
