I take it you, sjappie, are bokkie87.

If so, thanks for agreeing to host a well. Will you start by telling us a little bit about yourself and your on-line experiences?

A man visited a village, and was told
"If you have any questions, shout them into the well and they will be answered, except on Sundays"

"So what happens on Sundays?"

"It's your turn to go into the well."

Thanks for agreeing Bokkie, not sure if this is started yet but if not and you answer Sunday its appreciated,

Who are the 5 toughest cash players on Stars?

Also as you dont usually play MTTs who are the top 5 hyper players as i know you play them a fair bit.

5 thougest cashplayers are
donkpredator
mnstrkll
onmybicycle
silentpurple
fers

5 best hyper players are
juicy_j
angribob
biood
hunmatt
and i think i belong in top 5 as well

i am bjorn verbakel
pokerplayer for around 8 to 10 years now and i started with playing nlh sngs and moved up pretty quick
after that i started playing mtts in combination with sngs.
i was just an avg grinder who played a lot of volume and made enough money to have a decent living.

i started playing 08 by accident because tableninja did have some errors and registered me for 18mans 08 sngs
my experience was that they where super soft so after a while i did only play 08 sngs and mtts

i did play some nl08 cashgames as well and after i took a shot in scoop my life changed completely.

i won in that scoop like 100k in mtt winnings and 100k in cash winnings and i changed my plan to play mostly cash afterwards wich went pretty decent.
after learning it for a bit i think i am now 1 of biggest winners in 08 if not the biggest in last 2 years.

if you have more questions you can ask me.

That is accurate. That would be my top 5.

So Bok. Glad you are doing the well.

1.How did you get into poker?
2. What is it about 08 that you love?
3. What's your level of education?
4. What is your favourite cash game hand that you have ever played?
5. Biggest winning and losing days any/all formats if you can remember?
6. Best thing about The Netherlands?
7. Would you say you are the best all round 08 player?
8. What are your poker weaknesses?

1 started playing with friends in scool
2 the soft competition
3 avg i didnt do a lot because i knew i wanted to be pokerplayer
4 small pot where i had royal vs quads
5 70k winning 65k losing lost the 65k back to opponent day after i won it (cashgames)
6 healtcare
7 no i dont play fl08 but i think i am in top 5 for sure
8 i dont do any study about other regs

What do you think the state of online poker specifically 08 will be in 5 years time.

1.Do you play any video games?! (if so which ones?)
2.Most dodgy thing u ever saw Online and live poker related?!
3.Ever been ddossed?!
4. Biggest profit on which site?!

What would you say are the biggest challenges of balancing married life with poker or did you get get extremely lucky and find a wife who truly understands poker?

Also what would be your favourite live table to play agianst 9 handed?

Hi, bokkie.

1: If O8 or Stars dies what is your plan B for a living?

2: How is your poker setup? Can u upload a pict?

Nice one doing for doing a well mate .
I'll try to think of some better questions once tcoop finishes.

Though I'm surprised that you put fers and mnstrkll in your top 5. Mnstrkll is frequently ridiculous in mtts. And I've seen a couple of games run around fers (and I've also seen him spew off in flo8 etc).

Do you still have fun playing poker? And why do you think that is?
What study do you do away from the table?
How do you manage to balance playing so much with having a family?
Cheers.

not much different then now
if USA comes back it will grow else it would keep the same i guess

1 no
2 (live) French player asked me for chipcount in 10k event where he had topset on river (nuts) and tanked for like 5 minutes
online i dont have 1 really
3 dont know what that means
4 i think i made most money on stars but i dont know how much

my wife accept what i do
she tried to play professionaly poker for 6 months as well
she made money but not extreme amounts but she didnt like it
i can balance life pretty easy because i play cashgames and mostly hyper mtts so i can quit whenever i want


2 do you mean that with 08 players ?

1 i can Always play live games or play NLH again
2 2 screens with a laptop in docking station

i play HU so thats different then full ring with mnstrkll and fers (they both not great in 6handed IMO )

i still have fun with playing poker
i dont study at all besides playing
i dont play that much because i wait a lot of the times to get action. so i got time for playing with kid when i dont have action

What do you think about this thread?

Total gold juicy. Looks like I got a 3 day ban for this gem, back when i was more obnoxious than bike.

Ty for the throwback. Looks like buzz may have missed my point .

People still think shortstack nlo8 games are for fishes 5 years latter.

thanks for doing the well, I will be following along.

LOL tread
in that time i was pretty terrible in 08 but was already beating it with just 20bb push fold

tx

do you think playing plo makes it easyer or harder to be good in o8 ?

Will you be getting smashed along with everyone else on the 16th?

Being from the Netherlands, do you smoke weed?

I meant full ring of 08 but i guess its more fun to ask for any poker players in general.

What mistakes do you see the most playing hypers?
