What's your take on Mikki and where do you think he derives his money from? Is he a trust fund baby whos trust fund is finally running out? Selling meth? Laundering money?

Who is the most challenging pro we would know that you've played against?

Who is most disciplined player you've played against?

Pat Walsh makes plays in PLO you rarely see.

Most disciplined are prob the OMCs that have been playing LA 5-5 and 5-10, 20+ hours a week for the last decade+ making less than $10 an hour, thoroughly enjoying themselves in their own grumpy way, and literally never changing/deviating from their uber nit shortish stack strategy ever under any circumstances.

never had it, not a cake person, the only place ive had cake in the last year is quarter sheets pizza club (which is the best pizza in los angeles)

if i had to guess vending machining cake is pretty good because to build a special vending machine for cake is a big cost so the cake better be high end.

Ever rail a hooker without a rubber? Just throw caution into the wind and see what happens?

Do you generally like the people in LA. I haven't been there much but people just seemed so fake.
And the commerce had by far the worst behaved people I've ever seen in a poker room. Each trip the first few days I would be like these games are amazing but after a few days I just felt disgusting being around them. TBF I haven't been there in around a decade so no idea how it is now.

What’s your net worth?

how much should somebody have if they live in a state in America that’s not too high cost of living… in order to gamble for a living?

The Universe doesn't care if the last hand of poker, ever, happened 2 seconds ago. We're all dead in the long run. Stop caring about who cares about what.

Always thought I might get lucky with a bar seat one day. 👍

Please talk more about cheating. How common do you think it is? What are some notable examples you've encountered?

I guess a big perk of running a game is you can prevent it pretty well. But suppose you were a normal player, bouncing around mid and high-ish stakes. Would you worry much about it and, if so, how would you deal with the issue?

I’m not completely sure. Depends on real estate market, bond market, stock market and crypto any given day. At least 6 million, far more than enough for me. I’m cheap as **** and don’t care at all about cars or clothes or whatever.

To start you need like 100k at least.
