Easiest (in terms of skill required, time cost, and life-hate endured) way for a player (you) to:
earn 50k/yr from poker?
100k/yr?
200k/yr?
*assume you have an adequate bankroll

Which area(s) do you most want to be more skilled at if you could? You can pick either a game (lhe) or a level of handedness (6max/hu/full ring) or tourneys or online vs live...

among the following list of games rank them in order from 'ideally this would be the game im best at' to 'skill at this game is least important to me'.

Lhe
nl (~100bb+ stack depth)
plo
Limit O8
stud
triple draw
Other stud variants (note: 2 games for the price of 1!)
Other draw variants (even more!)
nl donkaments/cap nl/short stack nl

Re: jesse8888 - The Well

What would you say to a high school senior who is thinking about going to MIT?

Does any of your family play poker (even recreationally)? Does it come up in conversation over the holidays?

Most brilliant outburst you've ever made at the tables? Most asinine/embarassing?

Describe your political philosophy in one sentence.

Ever play any of the Asian games at any California (non-Indian) casino?

Did you have a childhood hero growing up? (You don't have to answer this if this is a security question on your financial accounts.)

You win the WSOP ME or otherwise suddenly acquire a large amount of money; do you (a) retire and never play poker again, (b) play poker recreationally at a low level, or (c) continue to play poker seriously?

Re: jesse8888 - The Well

What do you think about how math/science was taught to you growing up? Were you relatively well prepared when you got to MIT and what were the high and low points of your prep? What would you change about HS curriculum, mostly math/science but if you had thoughts on other topics, please share.

What other games do you play besides poker, if any? How big a part do games play in your life now? While growing up?

For shame Jesse. You used to be a software engineer for god's sake. Write a program to suck as much data off the web in a highly automated fashion. Just ask your girlfriend how to do it if you're not sure. After all she does work at google. :-)

How come you don't like Stud forms of poker?

What countries have you been to? Do you enjoy traveling?

What hobby, sport or activity have you always wanted to get try or get good at, but never had the time/money/ability to do so?

Since you've spent hundreds of hours in various cardrooms and at one point or another could call various casinos your "home casino", do you get a strange sense of nostalgia or deja vu when you walk into one that you haven't been in in a while? Or do you just look around and say to yourself, "same old degens and douchebags" and want to leave?
Most enjoyable home game was at Prof Bens house before he moved to Vegas with Yodaman, Bakku, BisonBison and some other people. We played 2/4 mix and yoda kept getting chopped in Baduecy. In a casino it was either the first time I played 15 at AJs and won SEVEN HUNDRED dollars or the prop shift where I shipped 7 racks overnight in the 20.

Re: jesse8888 - The Well

I don't like stud for a variety of reasons, some good some bad. You always beat me. The betting lead changing constantly tilts me. It's painfully slow. The old men at commerce who play it are very grumpy. And I never know what I'm doing and am usually painfully aware of it.

Re: jesse8888 - The Well

I like traveling but as of yet have done "not enough". I've been to China, Barbados, and Sicily. Danielle wants to go to the Amazon and on an African safari but I'm hesitant for a variety of reasons, again some good (it's very costly) and some not (I'm scared of snakes and afraid Ice Cube will be our tour guide).

Re: jesse8888 - The Well

I'd love to be a good golfer but currently don't have the time or money and likely will never have the talent. I was presentable on high school but stopped playing when I went to college.

Re: jesse8888 - The Well

Half the time I feel great...the other half it's "these degens again?". I bet I'd love going back to AJs, while GC still tilts me quite a bit.

Nope. I probably read 2-3 books a year strictly for pleasure.
