I am saddened to hear of the passing of my friend Roger Sippl. Roger was a loving husband, father, founder and an all around poker enjoyer. He used to fly himself into vegas on Saturday afternoon, play poker all night laughing, smiling and bluffing and then when the sun came up he would drive to the airport and fly himself back home! (As the only pilot).

Sippl might be the only regular player I’ve played poker with that I’ve never heard a bad word said about. He was just an all around gentlemen and great guy. Never got upset, never had a bad time. He explained to me that he had terminal cancer when he was 19, he survived, and everyday since had been a freeroll, what’s not to smile about.

My favorite story about Roger is when I took him to the Chiefs vs Eagles superbowl. I’m a hardcore chiefs fan, and he wore a chiefs jersey to the game along with me. Right before halftime the eagles scored a touchdown, and he was dancing doing an eagle flap, with an Eagles jersey on all of the sudden! He had made a big bet on the eagles but didn’t have the heart to tell me, as he was my guest, but once they started winning he couldn’t keep it in. 😂😂.

I got to know Roger well through the years and he was a deeply loving man, he loved his family, loved his friends, and enjoyed life to his fullest. I love you Roger, and know that one day before too long we’ll being playing poker together in the sky, just like in your poems.

Thank you @RepHorsford for fighting for gambling winnings to be taxed fairly.! You are an asset to all Nevadans and have my full support 🫡.

That’s a wrap on Season 17 of HSP – WOW, I never thought I could have so much fun getting my ass kicked.
Props to @TexasMike for making the bluff of the season, and having me on dead tilt for two straight days. Very few people are able to pull the trigger and make bluffs like this at these stakes – my hat goes off to him. I don’t know of any poker player who has more heart.
@Ewass congrats you kicked my ass again and are still the luckiest guy I’ve ever played, and somehow, I can’t help but kind of love you, mixed with a fair bit of hate for all my money that you have.
Wouldn’t be highstakes poker without an appearance by fan favorites @DarinFeinstein and Kirk Brown, you guys make the show fun.
Much love to the whole @Pokergo their production turns what would just be a fun poker game into an exciting show/stream.
To all the spectators who were wondering this game is full of high net worth induvials, most who are not professional gamblers. I started at the smallest stakes in poker and have been fortunate, blessed and lucky beyond my wildest dreams. I am still trying to make money playing poker, but I play just as much now for the excitement, the fun and the joy, rather than the money – so don’t feel bad for me or any of the other players who lost – that’s life and the gamble you take when you sit down for battle at the poker table.
For all those spectators who were wondering I play my own money and did not have investors for this game. The finical details of the other players of the other players are none of my business – but as a betting man I’d make a wager most of them are playing all their own money. I promise you there is no illusion, this is 100% real money and real gambling. This game is played in a casino with cash chips, you can take them to the cage and cash them out for cold hard cash.
Can’t wait for season 18, Nov 22nd-25th Santhosh and @KevinHart4real will be making a return and I’ll be anteing up as well. I promise you I won’t be losing 3 seasons in a row!
If you want to pony up a few hundred thousand and play email vegas.hsp.desk@gmail.com, give a quick bio on your background and what stakes you’d be willing to play.

Jcal, I love you, and I say this with the love and appreciation for you, but you have zero clue what you’re talking about. This is the dumbest take of all time!
We’re playing 2/4K 20k ante, the biggest game everyone in the lineup has ever played beside me and Rick. Only 3 of the 15 players who played are professional gamblers, the rest are business people playing for the fun and excitement. No one is advertising to win in “50k” buy-in games, I don’t and wouldn’t even play a 50k buy-in game! These are real pots and real emotions. I don’t know how you don’t get it, I once saw you about to shit your pants when you got all in for 100k with your QQ against 74s and beg to run it twice! Imagine how you would feel playing 4m pots.
If you asked your two home game buddies @stanleytang @Elamawy before tweeting this nonesone they would tell you how retarded you are! Now I know why @chamath @DavidSacks and @friedberg get so tilted at fired up at you on the podcast sometimes! 😀😂

Today is the final showdown, the last day to save myself from the embarrassment of talking trash prefight that I couldn’t back up. I’m feeling good today, hoping I can finally beat @TexasMike2014 in just one pot, and that @EWassPoker stops getting aces X6 a session.

Personally can’t wait to see what happens to @EWassPoker when the luck runs out, will todau be the day?
