They usually have live sit n go satelites running at the W.S.O.P. They play like turbo's. You would do well in those.

I had something like 80k on Pinnacle when they closed to the US, so I withdrew it to Neteller planning to redisperse it from there and put some in the bank. Well as luck would have it, the next day Neteller shut down too so I had 80k stuck in Neteller with no idea of when or if I'd ever see it again. It took about 6 months to get it but at least I got it back eventually. Also I had a lot of money in a book that decided to stop paying people, and that was the final straw for me. It's just too hard to justify having any reasonable amount of money in a sportsbook with the current legal climate in the US.

I have no idea of my hourly rate because I didn't really keep track of how many hours I played. If you include the vip program benefits it was probably something like $300 an hour. How much I made from poker I'd rather not answer but you can probably figure it out fairly easily if you're ambitious enough.

I kind of want to get to SNE by June if I can because otherwise I'd get reverted back to Supernova. It wouldn't be the end of the world if I don't though. There's pretty much no chance I'll make it in March like last year though, unless they have a surprise double vpp week really soon.

I have no goal as far as # of vpps to get this year but I'll guess 2 million. I don't see myself going for 3 again.

I pretty much taught myself back in the days on Party. I wasn't really all that good back then but luckily most other people were absolutely terrible. I didn't really know the math like I do now but I did know that everyone's calling ranges were way too tight and so it was hardly ever wrong to just shove in the late game.

I had to improve my game quite a bit when I started playing on Stars. The best way is obviously just play with SNG Power Tools or a similar program, and just run tons of hands in it until you have a firm grasp of all common situations. Even while I'm playing these days I write down hands so I can run them when I'm done playing to make sure I'm not making too many mistakes. You'll never be perfect in this regard but the idea is to make as few mistakes as possible.

Pt doesnt seem like a great software for these games. Do you use a hud? This is a cool well since I dont think Ive read one by a sng player.

edit: what kind of BR do you need for sngs and tourneys?
I already answered the 'best sng players' question below.

I play on stars exclusively because, while there are things they could improve, it is by far the best site out there. Just knowing they won't rob my money like certain other sites is reason enough.

I use poker tracker and it works well enough for me, but basically the only thing I use it for is to keep track of my daily wins and losses. I don't use a hud. I tried one once and it froze my computer so I gave up on that. In the higher stakes games you play the same people so often that it's not hard to know how people play anyway. If I see a name I haven't seen before I usually just assume they suck until they prove otherwise.

As for the bankroll requirements I'm probably the wrong person to ask, others will have a more valuable answer than myself.

Haha I asked them last year if I could multitable them and they said no. Apparently you can multitable a cash game and a sng but not 2 sngs. Whatever. Yes these are immensely profitable but they are so damn slow. If I was more ambitious I'd play them but I get so bored.

Of course! Maybe I can absorb some of woltas' luckboxing abilities.

I don't even know what Ipoker is although I assume it's a euro site. If the games are soft and the site is reliable then the answer is probably yes.

Pretty much yes. I also found out that Guitar Hero is much harder to play at 1am after 10 drinks than it is at 6pm after 1 drink. Go figure.

Yes, the games are softer, you can get a nice rakeback, even higher than at PS, but there's less traffic and the software is worse. Personally, after playing at PS, every other site seems unplayable.

I don't know I guess I'm just sick like that and enjoy it. There are plenty of people who play way more hours than I do though. I probably average about 6-8 hours a day, maybe 4 or 5 days a week in an average week.

I use a script that defines a right-click as a certain sized bet depending on the blind level so that I don't have to type the amount in every time. I think it does a few other things too but that's all I use it for.

No, I have been asked a few times but I have never done it. I don't think it would be something I'd really enjoy enough to be worth the amount of money I'd make from it. I suppose it's possible I'd do it sometime in the future.

If I remember correctly, you play multitables on a small bare bones laptop. Do you think an equipment upgrade would hurt your play? I know you could afford the best setup available.

Also, if there was a book out that describes your opening and calling ranges, which one would it be?

I want back in the 50K WSOP horse again this year, OK?

I don't really get how people can 20 table on these 30 inch monitors. Whenever i tried anything except stacking the tables my eyes get really tired after a few hours.

I don't understand the question about a book describing my opening and calling ranges. If you are asking what my ranges are, I don't think it would be in my best interest to reveal that.

As for the 50k horse, I'll be sure to let you know if I decide to play it again. I'm due obviously!
