My friends & neighbors think that I’m a professional poker player.
My poker industry friends & colleagues think that I’m a recreational poker player.
My family thinks that I’m a businessman who likes to play poker.
Me? I think I’m just having a major mid-life identity crisis!
I'm really looking fwd to having @CMONEYMAKER with us at the inaugural @CardsAndClubs Invitational. The field is coming together well & there's no doubt that Chris will raise the excitement & experience across all areas with his involvement!
It's official. @CMONEYMAKER is joining us at Cards & Clubs!
He’ll headline a special Heads-Up Challenge, giving our guests the chance to sit across from one of the most recognizable players in the game who introduced an entire generation to poker.

One priority helped Faded Spade unlock a whole new deck of opportunities. 🃏
On the Nerdthusiast Poker Podcast, Faded Spade CEO Tom Wheaton explains why developing RFID playing cards was a top priority—and how that investment opened doors to more consumer sales and expansion into poker rooms. @abovethefelt @TomWheaton_ @FadedSpadeBrand
Hear the story behind Faded Spade’s growth into one of the preferred playing cards of the World Poker Tour, and the role poker technology played in building the brand.
The Bear Trap is one of the most iconic 3-hole stretches in golf. I love that attendees of the first @CardsAndClubs get to take it on with an extra challenge. As we build the inaugural field, we’re having great convos with brands across gaming, tech, finance, travel & sports!
The Bear Trap already has enough pressure on its own. So naturally, we decided to make it a little more interesting.
The Bear Trap Challenge. 15. 16. 17. The Champion at PGA National. Everybody knows what’s coming & there are going to be stories!

Poker meets the golf course. ⛳️
The Cards & Clubs Invitational is set to debut in South Florida, combining tournament poker with a team golf competition. 👀

I’ve been working on this quietly for a while, so it’s pretty cool to finally have the @CardsAndClubs Invitational out publicly.
A big part of why I wanted to build it is the connection between golf and poker. They have a lot more in common than people might think. Patience, strategy, decision-making, risk management, confidence and composure under pressure all matter in both.
We’re building an experience around golf, poker, hospitality, relationships and content, with the goal of bringing together people and organizations that may not otherwise spend meaningful time together.
But just as important, both create the kind of environment where people have time to compete, talk, laugh and actually get to know each other. That’s really where I see the value in CCI for brands.
We’re now growing the inaugural field. A few invitations are already out, a couple of Founding Teams are committed, and we’re having some really interesting conversations about who else will be part of the first one.
Excited to see where it goes from here! More ⬇️.

Been getting a lot of feedback from players about Day 2 registration in Main Events. Assume multiple Day 1 flights, unlimited re-entry, and max late reg stack 10-20BB.
Do you prefer registration open on Day 2?

Flights home are insane tomorrow so might as well fight for day three!
Back at it for @WSOP mid-stakes championship. My people! Love the timing of this tournament because can still play it even after main event day four or five.

Idk how but onto day four @WSOP main with bubble play in full effect. Couldn't get anything going today and played super disciplined short stack poker for 6 hours to survive & advance 🥃
