It was the winter of 2017. It was frigid in Philadelphia and I got an email from someone from a very popular online poker company telling me they had an epiphany: people with crippling gambling addictions have disposable income, and people with disposable income probably like traveling to exotic places.
So, they were throwing a high-stakes poker tournament in the Bahamas and wanted me to fly down and cover it. Aaron Paul would be there (a surprisingly good poker player), as would Kevin Hart (an expectedly shitty poker player). Kevin Hart is just as short as you think he is.
I got to interview Daniel Negreanu on this trip, too. Just me and Dan in his really, really fancy suite at this resort they had us at. He answered the door barefoot and when I came in, he gestured to this massive platter of finger foods they’d brought over. Not fun stuff like pigs in a blanket, but like hummus and shit. He said he’d ordered way too much (I don’t think I remember him taking a single bite of any of it) and told me to dig in. I didn’t because I’m not much of a hummus-and-carrot-sticks guy.
Anyway, at one point, for a reason that now escapes me, I walked down to the on-site aquarium and saw this fish tank that was absolutely packed with fish. Like, it felt illegal to have that many fish in one fish tank, but I have no idea what kind of fish legislation the Bahamians have. Things were relatively lawless down there, and I doubt the fish have a strong lobby down there. I mean, they’re fish, so their currency is probably worthless to the average Bahamian.
Printed on Epson Premium Luster Paper, a professional semi-gloss archival paper that delivers vibrant color, rich contrast, and long-lasting quality and will prevent my dirty greasy finger prints from f*cking things up while I pack your order. The 12×16 image area is centered on a 16×20 sheet, leaving a clean 2-inch white border on all sides, in case you also didn’t know what a “photo mat” was before you purchased this.
Each print is signed and numbered in the lower border, which means this might be worth some loot if I die or something. Prints ship flat and arrive ready to frame. I hate that ChatGPT wrote that last sentence for me. Like, who do you think you are, ChatGPT? This is going to be such a pain in my ass to do, and you’re out here talking about it like it’s NBD.
For display, this format fits seamlessly into a standard 16×20 frame without the need for custom sizing — a simple, elegant way to bring the work to your wall. I made sure to leave the em-dash so you know I used ChatGPT to write this caption. IDK man. You want one or not?
