I was 17 and would deposit money here and there. I would do pretty well with hu sngs but I would dump it away at cash. As a result I had a decent looking sharkscope. I was broke at time and was railing livb in hu sngs and I would call out his hands and he sharkscoped me and saw I was a winning player. He gave me his aim, we got talking and I abruptly quit my job as a dishwasher to begin my stake with him.

- do you think you do a good job balancing social life and poker or are you kinda just so focused on the grind you might be unbalanced in that aspect?
Terrible, but it is something that I am okay to trade with right now because there is a lot of money up for grabs in this game and I want to get it while I can. I still try and squeeze in some party weekends here and there to stay a bit sane.

- you mentioned thinking about poker all the time, do you think to reach your level of ability you almost have to have an unhealthy obsession with the game. seems like a common theme amongst a lot of top players.
Yea, I have an unhealthy obsession with it. I am a gambler deep down so I love the action of poker. I just have been able to convince myself that all other forms of gambling that I do not have an edge is for stupid people.
To reach my level I do think you have to have an unhealthy obsession for the game of poker. I can promise you that if you don't, you are not going to be able to beat me or the other regs at my stake because you will never have the drive to get as good.
