yeah favorite memory is tough, we had a lot of good times this summer.

I would probably say the dune buggies... it was just kind of a cathartic type experience being in the middle of the desert, not to mention the adrenaline rush. I really had a good time at the backyard BBQ's too just BSing with everyone... even though they were all giant sausage fests haha.

Um... fav canadian is probably a toss up between you and Ricky, you guys will probably have to fight to the death or something for that honor. You both are very cultured and I really enjoy our philosophical conversations!

I have no idea about what I will be doing in 10 years, I am pretty confident that I will no longer be playing poker except maybe recreationally in some super high stakes private game or something. When I started college my written goal was to be a millionaire and Chief Marketing Officer of a Fortune 500 by the age of 40. If things continue to go well, I should achieve that first goal significantly earlier but I don't really see myself having the patience to try and "climb the corporate ladder" at this point.

Most likely I will start some sort of advertising consulting business where I can take on corporate clients in my spare time and make enough income to live on from investing (most likely in real estate). This is just conjecture though, I only know for a fact that I am playing poker for the next 6 months (last 5 months of lease in LA and WSOP in Vegas). After that, if poker isn't still a profitable and challenging venture (notice I don't say enjoyable, most days I can barely stand it haha) I would have no trouble walking away. There are plenty of ways to pay the bills... maybe not as easy as poker but there is alot more involved than just $$$ for me anyway.

Poker Ambitions for 2010:

• Make 500k+ just from playing poker
• Become a significant winner at 6m (not just in soft games)
• Become the best midstakes online full ring poker coach in the world (impossible to measure, but basically just continue to improve my coaching methodology and develop it into a sustainable business)
• Find some of the best up and coming low stakes players and through staking/coaching help them progress to the mid stakes and beyond

what is your red line like?

how do i improve the red line without spewing?

does it matter iyo?

Oops forgot life ambitions. I guess we will make this for the next 10 years or so. Pretty broad/standard, but whatever.

• Travel to at least two new countries every year
• Live life to the fullest, try to have as many new experiences as possible
• Do something I never thought I would have the balls to do at least once a year (hanggliding in Rio is probably a good recent example considering I am super afraid of heights)
• Make a difference and an impact as much as I can, whether donating time/money, helping a friend in need, etc
• Buy a house that I can pimp out and rent
• Get into above average physical shape (just started with a personal trainer last week after pretty much never worked out in a gym before... going great so far. I've always been a pretty thin/athletic guy (played varsity soccer and baseball throughout high school) but kind of let myself go a bit since graduating... none of that anymore.)
• Get more active in marketing again, maybe do some freelancing for an ad agency or something

if there were one MSNL reg i wouldn't want on my direct left on 6 of my tables it would be: ______

Ya bro, chicks dig the red line. ha, I think people massively overrate redline/blueline winnings. Winning is winning imo. I see people with y=-x red lines who crush at 3+ptbb and people with y=x red lines who are breakeven or slight losers. I mean certainly you want to try and find as many spots where you can take pots away without a hand as you can but there's certainly a tradeoff... I don't think I've ever had a W$SD even approaching 50%.

Easiest ways to improve your red line... 3b light more, bluff raise more flops/turns/rivers, value bet wider, float/double float more often in good situations and take it away on the turn/river against abc players, etc

democrats or republicans?
if there were no nlh...?

Here's a pic I had of my old "office" back in Royal Oak, MI. My setup at the LA mansion is pretty similar, just picture the below view to look at when I just took a sick beat and need to anti-tilt behind where the bare white walls were at before =)

I use a 30" and a 24"... I have all of my tables in front of me on the 30" and then use the 24" for lobbies, AIM, PTR, buddy list, itunes, etc. I used to always cascade my tables but now that I am only usually 12-15 tabling I just tile them on my 30" with some slight overlap.

Drunken 1/2NL at Casino Windsor when I was 19. We were out at the clubs until the wee hours of the morning and I got super frustrated when I wasn't able to pull some sloot so I stumbled all the way to the casino where I managed to spin my $80 up to $600 or before falling asleep (passing out) on the table and getting escorted out of the poker room by the security guard when I guess I started snoring. The one time I could literally say live pokers put me to sleep!

hahaha how many posts do you need for a well... i want to learn more about the legendary spikeyjizzle

but yeah i assumed a request for mashups would be forthcoming, i don't play them 24/7 life i used to haha, im more into house/trance nowadays... i keep myself in the loop though for times like these... maybe I can just post some house mashups, i am finding the standard rap v rock mashups boring in my old age!

lol sleeping at the table nh sir.

wat? translation?
