Would you care to give a time frame? Obv not "3.11pm sept. 14th 2016" but a ball park figure. I tend to agree that at some point bots will be the best but probably not for quite a while given that most AI is actually pretty ****.

Out of players you respect who would you say has/previously had the most degen brm?

Re: The Well: Raptor517

Awesome thread, thank you for your time in answering these questions.

What do you think about the blue fin tuna in the near future? Do you think all the talk about it's extinction is true?

I only started eating sushi b/c of 2p2. I usually get the Sushi Deluxe when I go. I really enjoy it.

I like Cascabel for Mexican. Koronet is pretty meh imo, seems fine for late night drunk pizza but Che Bella is much much better (though still surprisingly not as good as one would expect NY pizza to be. There is a place down the street from me in Texas that is better. Gotta go to Brooklyn for good pizza).

I think it is an unfortunate result of overfishing. Blue fin tuna is delicious, but I don't really eat it anymore. I stick with salmon and yellowtail 90% of the time. If I do a fancy Omakase place tuna is usually a part of it.

i'd hate for you to get annoyed by rando asking stupid questions and or repeat questions and decide to climb out of the well.

as for the NLs08 i was under the impression that basically you never play high only hands (obv rare HU exceptions) unless like maybe AKQ/KQJ all suited in a pot with 4+ players.

do you think thats correct? do you think it would be profitable for a noob to pretty much just play super nitty and only play low hands and hope to scoop making wheels and baby flushes?
I think that is how everyone else was playing, super nitty. When I am learning a game I tend to overdo it in the wrong direction . I think you are right for the most part, especially if there are idiots like me learning the game at the same time.

4. Most extreme trick on something out of your league, with disastrous result (jackass stlye)
5. Have you ever 2 girls at the same time?
6. Sweetest play you ever made playing baseball? Defense and offense?
7. Ever win a baseball championship?
8. Will you PM me everything you know about combinations in NL.

Stay sick awesome, don't need to answer any you don't won't. Thanks.
1. nope

2. I would say that he made me laugh a thousand times, and thanks.

3. I think my parents told me early on that he wasn’t real, just a Christmas tradition.

4. First time I ever went snowboarding I kept trying to land a 360. It didn’t go so well, bruised a couple ribs. I don’t do much ridiculous stuff so that is about as crazy as I have been lately.

5. Not sex

6. Solo home run in conference playoffs my junior year. I was pitching. We lost 2-1 ☹. After I hurt my shoulder I had to stop pitching, but I played left field and side armed the ball in so I could still hit (I just couldn't do anything resembling an overhead motion). Couldn't get as much power as usual but in a game towards the middle of senior year I hit a 2 run double off the top of the fence to give us the lead. I actually had the best batting average of my life that year and made the all-conference team with 1 arm. I felt pretty cool. Best defensive play I actually talked to my dad about last night at dinner, heh. I was pitching against a school in Dallas, 6th inning the game was tied 2-2. 1 out, runners on first and second. I throw a curveball and the batter squares around for a bunt. I take off the mound and he pops the ball up just a little bit. I lay out and manage to snowcone the ball. Jumped back up and threw it to first for the double play. Ump kinda stood there for a minute then realized he should call the guy out. I played centerfield when I wasn’t pitching and made some sportscenter style diving catches.

7. We never won a championship in high school. We won a few growing up, just the local area tournaments and stuff, but nothing really big.

8. Combinations?

Most seems a little unfair. But yea, that kinda stuff reflects pretty badly on the company as a whole, which includes me.

1. -How good of a player do you think zigmund really is ?(considering that he is up alot this year (2million)), what is your experience with playing him?

2. -Did you like your David benefield avatar? With what setup were you playing (theme + avatar). Was that an important anti-tilt factor ?

3. -Do you think some people could have an small edge on you at some point in time because your identity was well known ? If so, how would that affect your mood?

4. -In how much time do you estimate the PLO games will be as though as NL?

5. -If you had to buyin in a deep ante highstakes PLO agressive game, with what amount would you buyin knowing you have a moderate edge (1-2 fish) (in terms of bb's, 100 beeing the minimum), why? What about nl?

6. -If you could estimate your winrate at midstakes plo (2-4 and above) what would it be? What about 5 years from now?
1. I was usually pretty happy to play him, though he would always hit and run which was pretty annoying. He is very tough super deep though.

2. I never really looked at it. I played with no avatars on midnight. Not sure what u mean for anti-tilt

3. I think most everyone that I played would know who I was as Aeron73. It is rare to just start playing someone at high stakes without at least knowing a little bit about them. I don’t think it changed my mood in any way, unless I misunderstand your question.

4. Who knows, maybe never.

5. It depends. I like to run up stacks so probably 100. If I was directly to the left of the fish and had easy access to money I would try to cover. I am most comfortable with 100x because that is what I have played the most of, but in general I feel pretty good deep stacked, so if I had funds available I wouldn’t mind sitting deeper. No limit is same story, though I am more comfortable playing deep NL than plo.

6. I have absolutely no idea, I don’t know how tough those games are. HU or 6max? How many tables? It could be small or big depending on my goal. I would assume it would decrease as I play bigger.

I don't really have a time frame. I would expect it to happen in 10-15 years if not much much sooner.

Re: The Well: Raptor517

You said you enjoyed playing NLS8 , what do you think about NL08 and PLO8 ? Have you ever played or seen these games played at the higher stakes ?

Caesar Augustus, Antony, Brutus (think like, a few years before the **** hit the fan), and Michael Rawn, one of my profs from St. John's. I think it would be the coolest dinner ever.

1. Nope, thought about it but decided I rather do 100 other things.

2. I don't go party, but I have gone to Per Se the last 2 years for a 5 hour dinner, and am going again tomorrow with Durrr, Apathy, our girls, and possibly a couple other people.
