I said I'd do this so here it goes...ask away.

First!

Whats your story?

How long are your sessions? How many tables are you playing at the same time in average? Don't you think playing cash games would be more profitable than SNG's (in the long run, of course)?

Thanks for doing this

What does your username mean?

Well I was hoping for more specific questions. But here it goes.

I worked as a computer programmer for a couple years during and after college but I was making more from playing poker than I was at my job so I quit to play poker full time. This was in 2001. I mostly played stud games but I also played some holdem (limit, this was before nlhe was "invented" in cash games) omaha, and triple draw. I did this for a few years but I quit playing sometime in 2004 because I was making more money from betting sports. I did that for a few years but it got a lot harder to do in 2007 than it was in 2004, for various reasons. In mid 2007 my friend told me about the elite program on stars and I was like, "I can do that", so relearned sng's which I had played sparingly on Party back in the day. Obviously they're a lot tougher now than they used to be but with the vip program and the ability to play more than 4 tables at a time there's still money to be made.

how did you cope with running so badly in the world series last year?

Who is he no idea who he is

Ive always wondered about sports betting, Im not a gambler but am interested in how sports betting can be +ev. Is there a way to get into it from the US? What kind of sngs do you play?

How do you cope with a 1000 game break even strech?

How does it feel to get about $470,000 just for getting to 3million?

I play the 10-20 dollar sitngos, how many buyins do you usually have before you would move up? I would love to get to the 50-100 level how to you make yourself put in the hours?

Thanks in advance

My sessions are usually somewhere around 6-8 hours but I was playing as much as 10 hours the last couple weeks. I don't recommend 10 hour sessions fwiw. I seem to tire out somewhere around the 7-8 hour range and play worse than normal. I can't even count how many sessions I started off a winner the first 6 hours then sloped back down at the end, although this could just be selective remembering too.

I usually play about 20 tables at a time, although this varies anywhere from about 14-26 during a normal session, depending on which games are going and how I'm feeling.

Yeah, cash games probably would be more profitable if I wasn't so lazy to learn them. This may sound weird but I don't even think I'm all that good at poker and it would be a lot of work for me to make as much money playing cash game as I currently make playing sng's. While the roi is pretty small in sng's (not counting rakeback obv), they are pretty easy to play without really thinking much and I would imagine playing even half the number of cash games to be really tiring after a while. I could be wrong though as I've never even played a single hand of cash nl.

George who are you are you famous or something and if so how did you become famous

When I was signing up for a local BBS back in college my roommate made up the name "jorj" for me since my name is George. The 95 part is just my high school graduation year. If I could change my name to something better I would because I think it's kind of lame and also it gets misspelled a lot (jorg, jorje, jorgi, etc).

Please try to limit yourself to two moronic posts per page of this thread. Some of us are interested in what op has to say.

Are you really 13 years old?
