Do you have any thoughts on games dying/if you're worried the games will "dry up"? How are you keeping your options open, if at all?

Most baller thing you've done with your winnings so far?

How do you handle your downswings in HU?

Did you have a stop loss per session/day when you played/moving up?

Did you regularly challenge regs at the stake you were trying to beat before you moved up, like actively seek them out and sit at their tables?

What is your advice for determining what level your opponent is on?


(At low stakes, I find it difficult sometimes to figure out if I can say "he knows this" or "he wouldn't bet with ___ here because it looks like I have ___", etc, etc.)

How important do you think intelligence (in the sense of IQ, school tests etc) is in becoming a good/great poker player? What hinders someone who is smart in this way from reaching the higher levels of poker (i.e. being a winning 10/20 non-bumhunting reg)?

I remember reading you post a while back something along the lines of you "rarely respect other people's intelligence but you respected Isildur1's." What did you mean by this?

Also, how do you learn/study poker in non-playing sessions? Do you use stoxev type tools?

If villain 3bets the first hand of a match, what is your defending range? Would this vary from 200NL to 2k and 5kNL?

First few hands of a match you have a bluff catcher on the river that is ahead of villain's entire bluffing range and behind his entire value range, and you estimate the call to be slightly -EV in and of itself (unless villain turns out to be a maniac), but not far from neutral EV. Do you call the third barrel more often than not? What factors (beyond board textures) help you determine whether or not to call when you are still readless?

what sources do you use to improve? What do u rely the most? what was the most helpful? ( trainin vids, forum, poker friends, etc)

Did u play durrrrr because u thought u had an edge on him? or because u thought it would be fun?

When you were moving up from 0.25c/0.5c to 5/10, what % of the time that you devoted to poker did you spend:

1) playing
2) reviewing specific sessions and hands
3) studying theory and working on an overall strategy, to a deeper level

Did this change at the higher stakes?

Thanks in advance.

Do u think u'll do 10 pull-ups and 30 push-ups(in a set) before u make your next cool million?
JK, man. Thanks for doing this and GL!

How do you restrain your ego in HU match, when opponent makes annoying play and happens to run couple times in a row into very bottom of my range in that spot, beeing ultra-lucky?

Which way is best to improve? Just grind, grind, grind or having some proportion of grind/study? And which way is most efficient to study for not naturally talented player?

you smell bad, what do you plan on doing about it?

also, i think i already know the answer to this, but who is high more often. you or urnotindanger2?

last but not least, would you rather spend your life working a regular job rolling in cash/luxury or would you rather play poker your entire life, but only make an average wage?

Thanks for doing this!

Go into detail your daily routine?

Name 5 factors which makes you better than other regs

What do you see yourself doing in 5 and 10 years?

Do you think mid to high stakes HU will stay profitable for long?

Are you happy playing poker for a living? Could you imagine doing anything else?

what have been the most important differences and adjustments you saw and made between 5/10 and 25/50?

Come on guys, how has no one asked for garphs yet...? At least post your graph vs durrrr w/ redline and AIEV. I want to SEE THIS MILLION DOLLAR SWING MAN!

No real questions as far as poker strategy, I think you already gave me all the answers =) But a few other things:

How do you justify coaching and making vids for CR? Is it largely intrinsic value and variance considerations (doubt this since you play 300/600). Can you honestly say you put your full effort into your videos or do you hold back some stuff as to not give away your thought process?

Dan vs. Scott HU HA: Who wins?

Who do you think is the most "gifted" poker player as far as capacity to become great/the best that you have come across (besides yourself)?

Who has the 2nd best spidey senses (1st being ZJ obv)?

Who is a tougher opponent, tcorbin or luckychewy?

I think this would be a very big factor to choose 50 little ones...but, a horse sized duck couldn´t fly.
There hasn´t been and probably would never be a creature of that size that could - the size of the wings it would need would be ridiculously out of proportion.
lol, seems to be the most interesting question in this thread.

Do you attribute any of your success to coaches/books/vids - if you do, then which ones?

while you were learning (you said you totaly sucked), what had the most impact on your game: reading forums/books, watching poker videos, reviewing hhs? or did you just play more and more poker without "studying" much?

do you review your sessions? if so, how do you usually do it and what do you pay the most attention to?
