Happy open line Thursday, Rickies.

We are the Junkies.

Company live on 1067, The Fan, the Team 980, Monumental Sports Network as well.

Got a four-man junk's crew this open line Thursday morning.

I'm Cakes at Money Metal Cakes on your Twitter at Cakes Flops on your Instagram.

I'm joined as always by Jason Bishop. What's up? Happy Thursday, boys. What's up? John Paul Flame is here. What's up, Kakesy? You are decked out in your MGM National Harvard Year. I am, yes. I came straight from there last night. And Eric Pickle here, too. I want to hear about it. I mean, it's a tale of woe. It's a tale that's been told many times. We like that tale. Where eight players cashed, and I got bounced in 12th place. So I did exactly what I hate to do. I play. Now, I love playing poker. It's fun. Yeah, it's a great time. It's a community thing.

You get to hang out with people, meet some new people.

It's fun.

But when you're close to the money and then you don't make the money.

Yeah.

And then you get four hours of broken sleep.

Yeah.

Because you're running through things in your head, like how you could have gotten into the money.

Um, it's just. It's frustrating sometimes. Oh, I'm sure it is.

So that's, you know, it's a little bit raw because I went to bed at 1215, 12, 20.

But it's all good.

I'll run it back again next month and hope to make the cash, which has been elusive.

I'm 0 for 2026 at this point in cashing in my own event.

Give me the breakdown on the last hand you had.

Or key hands. Well, I mean, the ending hand was I had King 10 suited.

I was like this is about as good as it gets for the stack that I have.

I got my last 100K in.
