Could you briefly outline an average poker playing week for you in terms of no. of hours playing, no of sessions, lenght of sessions ect?
How many hours a wk do you put into the non-playing side of poker i.e.hand/opponent analysis ect? What kind of poker analysis do you find most beneficial to growing your game?
I struggle to get good reads when 6 tabling. How do you manage it playing 10 tables?

ps your blog is inspirational. Thx.

Heya Dusty,

Two quick questions:

1: What was most instrumental in helping you to learn how to think about Poker?

2: What is the single most important thing you think a player should focus on when learning how to think about poker as a winning player?

Scenario 1

6max 100 or 200nl

Assume against an uknown and we are utg vs either co or btn.

We have KK and raise get called by co or btn and flop come A47 rainbow.

What is the best line to take?

Scenario 2
same as above except you hold qq-88

which hands do you bluff at the ace with and which hands do you check?

When you played ssnl how did you exploit blinds who did not fold to you bt or co raises? such as someone who only folds bb to steal 50% or less

In other words he is not 3betting our btn or co raise but just calling and playing oop against us almost every other time he is in the blinds.

They usually do not fold to a flop cbet either

How do you combat these villians

Is the correct play against them to just raise premium hands from the button just like our utg range would be?

What do you believe are the optimal/most profitable stats for 100 or 200nl?

What is the most hand you have played in one day, week, and month?

Also how did you wake up the neighbors?

1. What is your golf handicap?

2. What do you spend your FPP's on ?

3. Biggest pot you've ever played?

4. Would you play 100-200+ if the game was great?

What are those talents?

What non-poker talents do you possess that you believe improve your poker play?

What are some of the hardest things you had to work on and how exactly did you work on them? (I'm mostly interested in your micro and small stakes NL efforts but answer how you like)

What are some things you thought you should be working on/developing which turned out to not matter (or matter much)?

Did you discover things you thought you were doing right but turned out to be wrong (in a poker skill/proficiency sense)? What were they and how did you discover it?

In your early poker success was it more a couple big things that made the difference or lots of little ones? What were they?

Did you have any poker beliefs or attitudes or things you thought made you a good player that turned out to be wrong?

What routine NL poker thing are you thinking about before you look at your hand?

wrt to the improvement things, if you had to go back to the beginning and start over, what would you do differently knowing what you now know?

One more, why do you have god mode against me?

1) your thoughts on building a bankroll between 6max and FRNL micro's

2) still like your lexus or buyers remorse after your swong?

3) how 'bout giving props to your lady! (she most likely deserves a few my friend!)

Dog or cat?

Best artist/group/music for major TILT ?

Leatherass,

You rock.

I think in one of your videos you said you liked to be sticky to the pot. How showdown bound are you and what sort of techniques do you use to get to hands shown down?

When you played NL200/NL400, were you more likely to defend 3-bets by calling in position or 4-betting. Or, more to the point, some thoughts on balancing the two would be great.

I know you love to game select. What does a good table look like to you? Would you prefer 3 x 35 vpip or 1 x 70 vpip?

Hi Dusty,
here are my questions:

How do you counter opponents with AF greater than 5? I mean those TAG or LAG players who raise each and every pot in each and every position, not a drunken 85/54/12 maniac.

How is the best play against opponents who can't fold their blinds? Simply stop stealing?

What is your line against Mr. Call-Steal-Raise-And-Check-Raise-Flop? Make a note and stop c-betting a missed flop? Or stop stealing against him?

Is AKo or AKs a preflop auto all-in on NL50?

Thanks for your time!

1. You realised it's very important to put people on ranges rather than a specific hand. How did you practice improving your skills in putting people on hand ranges. Was it mostly experience, or did you specifically try some things to help improve that skill.
2. Those are pretty tight 6 max stats. How do you keep yourself from being predictable to better players? Is it mostly with some tricky post flop play, or do you even mix it up a lot preflop?
3. Do you instantly leave a table where the guy to your left is 3 betting you a lot, or do you find that a profitable situation?
4. Do you like a looser table or a tighter one?
5. What technical part of your game are you currently working on?

PS, I noticed your blog a couple of months ago, and now visit it frequently, it's a very honest view into your life as well as poker at the higher stakes, keep it up.

people are always saying that while improving at playing poker you should just play a table and focus your decisions. you moved through the ranks pretty quick while mulitabling what would you recommend to someone whos main goal is to move up in stakes?
