High stakes cash game legend Garrett Adelstein has announced he is returning to poker on Twitter, telling his fans he misses the competition.
After not watching or playing a hand for over a year, recently my mindset has shifted: I miss the competition. I miss the strategy. I miss taking souls. I miss gambling—telling the dealer “1 time” vs my nitty pro opponents. I miss poker. And I’m ready to battle. DMs are open.

Late September marked a full year since the infamous jack-four hand with Robbi Jade Lew, and for most of that time Adelstein didn’t look as if he missed the game at all.
There was endless sniping on Twitter over his handling of the situation that fateful day. Supporters of Lew constantly threw shade in his direction for not returning the $135,000 that she handed back to him.
And then there was the fallout over the integrity of the Hustler Casino Live setup. Garrett Adelstein strongly maintains he was cheated on that day and refuses to believe otherwise.
The thread was overwhelmingly positive about seeing Garrett Adelstein back at the felt, but where will we be able to see him play?
Given the fractured relationship with Hustler Casino Live founders Nick Vertucci and Ryan Feldman, that avenue is almost certainly closed for good. And there are limited choices at stakes high enough to interest Garrett Adelstein.
Go for it and best of luck! You did the absolute smartest thing a poker player can do! When something unexpected happens that shakes you up ( good, bad, or indifferent) it’s always best to step away. Get back to it! Also, there was definitely shenanigans going on J-4. Lol

One poster suggested that he starts his own live-stream poker show. That would be interesting as there’s always room for more content.
Another thought that him taking on Doug Polk in a heads-up challenge would be great to watch, after him being called a “bum-hunter” for many years. We’d love to see that.
