Ask me anything

Who are you and why do you deserve ama

why did you call this an aMa and not a well, as is more traditional on 2p2?

What are you up to now, or the last year?

Better question would be why only the M is capitalized if we go that way.

Because OP is an ego-centric crusher and he wants us to wallow in his magnificence?

I'm Harthor, used to be a 1k hypers reg when poker was easier, I think everyone deserves one

English is my 2nd language and well is an adjetive for me, I don't know it as a noun although I've seen it on 2+2 never understood it

Last year lot's of meditation, yoga, parties, drugs, and moved to diff cities like 4 times. Now back to normal life in Mendoza wich is my hometown.

pressed shift while clicking it is the best answer i got for that

No

I hear you are a decent-ish chess player, how'd you get into that?

Do you eat sausage?

How much did you make playing the different HUSNG variants? Was rakeback a significant portion of your winnings? Can you describe how difficult the games were? What were your most common in-game considerations?

Both my parents were chessplayers, my dad would teach at the kindergarten where I was going to (I obviously beat everyone cuz had him at home too and my mom too).
Started to take it more seriously at the age of 8 or 9 then at 14 or 15 had some mayor achievements qualifying for a world championship and also beating a former world champion on a Simultaneous exhibition he was giving.
Then quit at 17-18 when started to play poker.
If u google Gaston Needleman there's lots of articles

Obviously, tried to be vegetarian but lasted very little, not easy in Argentina, also not easy If I'm not sure about being one

A little over 1 Million, yes rakeback was like half of my winnings. The games were very difficult in the beginning (when I was trying to get a spot to share the 1k lob) then had maybe 1 or 2 years really easy getting lots of fish, and then in the end a cartel was formed that was much better and I think some of them are currently 1k regs.
In game I knew what the hud numbers had to look like for the strats to be balanced and could detect if one of the numbers was off and exploit. (Those numbers were much more variable than they are now a days, also avg preflop raise from sb was much higher, wich made all the ranges much weaker from the beginning)

what was the point for you to say i want to quit poker (or hypers- don´t know if you are still playing)?

what is your life goal?

who was your toughest opponent in the reg battles?

what did poker teach you for life?

bad joke, sorry.

-long term plans?
-most up vs who?
-most lost vs who?
-Would you flip all your money , 50% to go broke, 50% chance to get 100Million, no insurances allowed/
What is something that you think is true that most people disagree with?
-wheres the future of the world headed?
-favourite drug?
-any cool stories or wisdom to share?

you're offering 100-1 on a 50-50 proposition? Anyone would take that.

I think a lot of people that are currently at 0 would rather have 1M guaranteed then 50% shot at 100M.

But if answer is too obvious, reprhase as: What odds would u need to play double or nothign with net worth

I think very few people would take that, although a poker forum would probably have a much higher % of people accepting.

If you have enough money to enjoy the rest of your life, why would you risk not being able to afford food/shelter for an equal chance at having so much money that wouldn't seriously positively impact your life.

Harthor, how many games did it take to get all the shares at 1ks?

What is the most number of simultaneous tables you played while battling?

What are your long term plans post-poker, if you have any?

What is one unique thing about your childhood (other than chess)?

Life goal: finish unfinished dreams....
1. Had an afterparty where i rode a fixed bike in the middle of the party for 12 hours straight in the middle of the party, telling people that I couldn't get down the bike cuz the party would end, so they had to move the bike with me above to the middle. Some lesvians kissing like 2 ft away on a mattress, hot girls bringing banana juice. On extasy obv. Not all people finished having sex in front of me although i tried hard
2. Make weed legal in my hometown for smoking too, not only medicinal
3. Be a Dj at those parties.
4. Skydive without an instructor (as my hero did a million times, he remains private tho)
5.Orgy's without the girls knowing I got $ (currently I'm below 0 fwiw anyway)

Toughest opponent: v2the3 he raped me... respect

What poker taught me for life... a lot of resilience, understanding of losing, acceptance of defeat. Besides... skill to read people who don't play poker pretty easily.

I wish I can surprise u with my magnificence, I'd be surprised if you find some
