Re: Ask a november 9

Will you show your hole cards to the camera?

Did you play on any of the feature tables before you got to the final 2-3 tables?

Thanks and good luck!

Cheers and gl,

I haven't sold off any of my action since final tabling. What I plan on doing after the final table all depends on how well I finish. I think being a good ambassador to poker is the most important responsibility for the main event winner, and I feel like that hasn't been done in the past few years. That'd definitely be a focus if I won. I'm definitely going to try to get back to grinding after november and also pursue some hobbies. I want to learn how to fly planes and helicopters, so thats on my short list.

You're definitely invited to any party that is thrown in my honor. I'm not sure exactly whats going to be going on yet.

Re: Ask a november 9

Have you been all in and behind at all in the tournament? At what point in the tournament (if any) did you first have all your chips at stake in a hand?

I played the most with Chino, beyond a doubt. He was at my table all of day 2.

I haven't really played at all with Dennis Phillips, but I feel like my lack playing with him is somewhat mitigated by having position on him.

Re: Ask a member of the November 9

i heard you went s5. why did you go s5 over comparable bmws or benz'? why didn't you just wait until you won the whole thing and spend 3 times that on a bently?

edit: how long is delivery wait and what color scheme did you go with

I was actually going to buy an s5 before I final tabled the main event, but I was waiting until I could pick one up used. I really like the way the exterior and interior look, and Mercedes doesn't really have a coupe that I like the look of being that I don't like convertibles. If I hadn't gotten the s5 I would've gotten an m3, but I REALLY hate the interior of BMW's. They've just been the same for like 57 years. I would feel really weird buying a super expensive car, but if I did win I would toy with the idea of buying an Aston Martin DBS. I have a lot of other priorities for my money than just spending it all on myself. I have 3 younger sisters who I would want to help with college, and a mother who sacrificed a lot for me that I would want to take care of.

Edit:Phantom Black Pearl with Magma red leather interior and stainless steel interior inlays. I got every package available for the 6 speed manual. I ordered it like july 17th and it will be built october 20th and I will take delivery in early november.

Yeah, I have no problem showing my hole cards to the camera. I played on the secondary feature table almost all of day 6 and I was in a few televised hands on day 4 and day 5. They actually had me in a bit in the ESPN teaser for tonight's episode on day 4.

Will you shout out? 2+2 or BBV on national TV? Such as saying "lol donkament" when you win.
If I win, I'll definitely try to give some kind of 2p2 shout out. I don't really know what I'm going to do about charity. I'll let my mom handle that kinda stuff being that its something she'd really enjoy.

I didn't see an answer to this, and it was really the only question I had.

Sorry, I are not perfect. I must've missed it. I'm pretty happy we got the break. Not only do I think it'll be good for poker, but it also opens up the opportunity for other non poker companies to become involved in advertising. Also I was sick as **** and would've probably just died while playing out. I think the equity I lose vs the more inexperienced players is made up for added sponsorship opportunities.

Re: Ask a member of the November 9

oh and PS

I am happy you already arent making excuses BEFORE the final table.. unlike that whiney b.itch Negreanu... in his blog he basically stated the reasons he wouldnt win in his blog, BEFORE the WSOPE FT started. *** this guy needs to get a grip.

anyway GL TO YOU!!!

Re: Ask a member of the November 9

1)How did you get started in poker?
2)What's your main game that you grind on a daily basis?
3)Any nerves going into the final table? It must be a rush knowing you have a shot at millions.


gl at the final table.
