The most expensive hand in poker is the second best hand.

Be a force for fun and good

Players will say, "this is freaking unbelievable!" Almost always, whatever happened was believable.

I'm excited for my Philly poker trip!

Nothing beats stacking up chips super high... ... unless you color up and begin stacking them up high again!

My grandma passed away and left me $5k, which became my poker fund. I wish she was alive so I could tell her about my adventures thanks to her.

On Sept 10, I thanked some trolls on twitter for elevating me. Today, I checked my book stats. I sold 10 books since then, with Shuffle Up and Deal With It's sales outpacing A New Queen's Guide to Poker's for the first time. JOIN THE INTERNATIONAL BOOK CLUB!!!!!

Another two copies of Shuffle Up and Deal With It sold today! I've sold over 150 copies of my books to date. You can buy a copy of each for $20 on Amazon or on my website for $25 at www.saraoconnorfineart.com/books

A few days ago, someone tried to upset me by, among other things, claiming I only sold 18 books on Amazon. After rebuffing them soundly 💅, that got me curious... How many books have I sold?! 📚📖

Any hand can win by showdown

I'm a lucky girl ♠️❤️

Uber Driver: You're happy this morning! You going on vacation? Me: Yup, I am to both! UD: Where are you off to? Me: LV to play in an online streamed poker game. UD: Wow! That's unique! He then launches into a story about his card shark grandma. Good trip already 🥰

Yesterday at Borgata, no one recognized me from Twitter, so when a bomb pot was announced, I pretended to not know what they were. 😇 Everyone kindly explained them to me. I ended up chopping or winning about 5/7, which feels like an insane amount. My neighbor said, "Bet you love them now!!!" 🤣🤑

Heading to Ocean City, NJ today to spend some time with my Mom in her happy place. I'll also be at the Borgata on Sunday. If you see me out and about, come say hi!

Don't punish the limpers to the point they leave the game. (Raise the F outta them, but no rude table talk, etc) Agree or disagree?

Today is going to be a great day! What do you have planned? If you're hitting the felt, good luck!

What's more low-key annoying than being the smallest stack, finally getting the button, and having your table break only for you to move into the big blind?

As a heads up, I'm heading to Ocean City, NJ for a little vacation with my Mom. I'll likely be playing at the Borgata 2-3 times between August 2-6. Hope to see you there! Feel free to say hi if you see me out and about.

Your perfect card is someone else's perfect nightmare

When someone new to poker asks a question and the whole table helps? Love that energy.

Dreaming of a deep run

Nothing's funnier than holding pocket rockets, villain saying "I'm ahead" with gusto, and then another ace hits on a rainbow, disconnected flop.

✨️I love poker & my jobs in the industry.✨️

I love when people let me sweat their hands.

What's been your longest poker session? Mine was over a day long, though I kinda regret gorging myself so hardcore on poker!

I don't want to be the last woman standing in a tournament. I want to be the last player slaying.

Poker Gods can be so cruel. You lose a monster pot with a monster hand. So you don't tilt, you proudly fold a garbage hand only for the board to run out in a way that you would have boated and scooped.

One person's worst bad beat is another person's contribution to a sun run.

I love when dealers need to use both hands and an extra shove when pushing you your chips.

I love the feeling of chips in my hand.

There's a flow state in poker and a fugue state in poker. Find your flow.

One of the coolest things about poker is that you can actually play with your heroes and become one yourself.

I've gotten queens 3x in 30 minutes. Once I lost. Once I won. Once I got super lucky on the river and chopped.

Felting strangers is my love language 🥰😇

Don't let pride cost you chips

Shuffle Up and Deal With It: Tales from Dealers Worldwide is now available! - Signed copy on my artist website for $24.99 Or - Paperback ($14.99) or Kindle ($9.99) on Amazon! It's a wonderful, wild, and sometimes dark ride!

I love becoming the big stack and being asked for change.

One of the things I appreciate about poker is it's one place I consistently see guys talking about their feelings to one another in the presence of others (tilt/types of tilt/how to fix & prevent it/etc).

All sports are games, but not all games are sports. Have fun either way!

Don't confuse bleeding money with grinding.

My coach told me practice makes perfect for winning flips 😅

For my fiction book, I'd love to hear any and all experiences you had with the Gladiator and Collosus tournaments. I'm not going to play them this year, but I REALLY want to know what they're like for my next book! Give me any and all details about your experiences!

What are some iconic must do's and must see's in Vegas? What should I do and see this summer on my days off?

New flower custom commission made it to her Florida collector's home safely. I think she is GORGEOUS there!

Getting to write about things I care about is such a dream come true. Another dream come true would be when a woman takes down the Main Event. Check out my piece on whether a boom would occur when a woman takes the title if you haven't already! pokerati.com/2025/04/coul...

Every session is a new story. Today’s might be a comeback one. Good luck out there in all your endeavors.

Being underestimated at the poker table is not a disadvantage—it’s an invitation to kick everyone's butt

Sometimes, it feels like my edge is as sharp as a butter knife. Other times, I'm a Hattori Hanzo sword.
