Somewhere between 50-100k, luckily I haven't had to deposit in over a year.

The thing with the steps is unless you run really good, your amount of w$ actually goes down. For example in the PCA step 6s, you get w$13300 and $1000 for 1st, $2100 for 2nd, and $1600 for 3rd. So let's say you play 9 of them and get each of 1st thru 9th once. It would cost you w$18900 to play them, and you would end up with w$13300 and $4700. So even if you win slightly more than your fair share of them, you will still need to constantly be buying w$ since some of your w$ are being replaced by regular $. If you run bad it's even worse obviously.

Do you buy in direct to step 6's, or buy in to step 5's & win the step 6 tickets?

OT

Did you try grinding the live WSOP satellites? How do they compare to pokerstars satellites?

How many EPT, LAPT and APPT events do you plan to play in 2009?

i sucked out on you in a step 6 (i think, it might have been 5) for my first "big" score that kinda got the ball rolling for me.

sorry and thank you.

If you could travel back to when you first started SNGs and given yourself any advice, what would that advice be?

What was your name back on Party? I played under "icypots", "a605296a", and "AssaniFisher"(remember you could change your name ever 6 months). I remember playing with ComeOnPhish, DrGammon, ZeeJustin, and all the other regs. And I agree with you completely- looking back, I was probably horrible at those things, yet I still made money because others were worse.

The cash equivalent of 3million vpp/15 million fpps + all SNE bonuses:

$376,800

Any chance you could tell us how much rake you paid to get to 3million.

Yeah i goofed up put a 4 in there instead of a 3.

how much rake is easy - $600k in tourney fees will get you 3 mil vpps

of course this does not figure in double vpp weeks, so its probably a bit less...

Jorj:

I know you talk to Wilson (D@NE) a fair bit online. Do you have any funny stories about him that I can use to make fun of him?


Have you thought about moving to London or somewhere to continue booking?

How do you like your job?

Is your wife as hot as I hear?

Sorry I fell asleep for a couple hours during the football, I'll get back to the questions now!

I buy into step 5s and use the tickets from the ones I win to play the step 6s. If I don't have any tickets then I just buy in direct to the step 6s.

I assume you mean the ones at Rio. They are like 100x softer than anything offered on pokerstars.
