Interview with Wazz - PLO Pro / EPT Final Tableist Interview with Wazz - PLO Pro / EPT Final Tableist

Hey guys,

I did a 98 minute Video interview (mp3 available also) with Michael Piper aka Wazz, who is a regular contributer here.

I do these interviews to give something back to the community and to create a platform for the many interesting 2p2ers out there who are sometimes overlooked by the mainstream poker media, but who we would all like to hear from.

Main topics:

His famous moustache.

Dropping out of university due to too much poker and weed.

How he took the unconventional path of playing PLO from the very begining of his poker career, rather than hold'em.

Degen spinups, busto -> robusto sessions with most of his roll on the table, his tendancy to tilt and advice on tilt control.

PLO strategy and coaching.

Learning NLHE at a late stage in his poker career, helped by some of the best minds in poker that he met through the tournament circuit and twoplustwo.

Tournament sucess: Epic live freeroll win and EPT San Remo final table.

Future poker / non poker plans.

Wazz is happy to answer any questions people have related to the interview although he is traveling around about now.

I have a question though, sorry if it seems obvious.

But why are you transitioning to NLHE now when alot of people are transitioning to PLO due to the games drying up at HE?

Hope I came across well! Was lots of fun doing the interview, thanks dale for doing that

NLHE games really arent that tough, Im only playing 50/1 right now and dont really anticipate playing higher than 1/2 or maybe 2/4 if i get a lot better and it ends up being worth my time, but the main goal is to become technically good enough at nlhe so that i can compete in tournaments and big live cash games .
