Thanks for doing this, Rapid. Sorry that I've been behind for a bit lately. Let's see...

What is your favorite book?

Where do we just have to go when I visit New York with my gf's?

When was the last time you were in PR?


Always enjoy our hand discussions.

Hey, good thread.

Talk to me about sweating:

1) how does one put a group of people together?

2) How do you guys sweat each other if everyone sucks? How would this help?

3) will you talk about the process, as if you where now looking to put a group together. Starting from where you would post and what it would say....etc.


Thanks for the info.

also, what is 'SD value'?

Well me and RE sweat often, first you get some Astroglide.....

Thanks a ton for doing this RE,

I'll bite on some Q's.

1) Best rapper from NYC.

2) Best vacation spot in PR?

3) Biggest mistake you think you see your opponents making

4) If you could live anywhere in the world, where, why?

5) Did quitting Marijuana have an impact on your weight loss? Have you smoked marijuana since your "evolution" ?

6) Have you watched any poker videos? What are some of your favorites?

7) What's the biggest thing you've learned about yourself through the "poker world"

8) What's the biggest thing you've learned about others through the "poker world"

9) Political views? Voting?

10) Vida Guerra or J.Lo?

[QUOTE=too eazy;4751875]Thanks a ton for doing this RE,

BIGGIE SMALLS all day!!!! EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bump this to see if RE still alive?

Wow, I can't believe I missed this! Sorry, for taking so long

1)Pretty close toss-up between BIG and Nas, imo, but I've gotta give it to BIG.

2)Luquillo Beach, pretty much. It's been awhile since I've been in PR, tho so things may be different now.

3)Not adjusting their stack-off ranges. Either they stack off too light when deep or are way too tight when stacking off vs shorties.

4) I haven't really traveled enough to know for sure, though I really love San Diego and Florence. After I go to Bangkok and Sydney, I'll probably know more.

5) It's hard to tell, since I quit cigarettes and weed around the same time (and quitting smoking did make me put on a few pounds...that whole oral fixation thing is no BS). I might smoke like..once every other month or so, but I'm pretty much done with it.

6) I try to watch lots of vids (especially with this free month of DC) the late-night coaching vids with you and SS were huge eye-openers. Actually, huge is an understatement. Most of the other vids I've seen are in R/T and I feel like it's tough to go as in depth when you're still playing. I keep getting interrupted whenever I try and watch the ringside vids tho. :/

7) If anything I've learned that I'm really a social creature by nature, even though I really hate people sometimes. (no one specific, really). I keep feeling this is a contradiction and shouldn't be happening, yet, there it is. lol FWIW, poker's also taught me a lot about dealing with variance in every day life and not tilting when things go wrong. LOL

8) Most people are content to form a fast opinion of you and then base most of their interpretations based on that initial assessment. It's certainly true physically, but I had no idea how heavily that kind of mentality carried over into poker. I used to run around 12/8ish and then opened up to about 16/13. It was absurd how rarely I got played back at (especially with preflop 4betting).

9) I really think McCain would be bad for us as President (if he lives long enough). OTOH, Obama seems to have a massive following, is a great speaker and (imo) can inspire citizens do aspire to do more to get this country out of the crapper. I think his pick for VP is going to be crucial (if he made it, I'm not aware cuz I'm buried under a rock, ldo), but I'd be VERY excited to see him run with Biden.

10) I actually had no idea who Vida Guerra was until you brought this up, but I'd choose her, simply because J-Lo makes me ashamed to be from the Bronx. After seeing pictures, I stand by this.

Again, sorry for taking so damn long on this. Looking forward to more vids!!

Love the Well and glad I came across it late cause I loved alot of Q&A.
Was wondering what the Avatar was - Franky - Loving the Snatch
So from the Movie Snatch - Who Is your Nemesis/who would you feed to Pigs?
Loved the Prop Bet - Trading Places.....movie reference.
Which of the Trading Places Characters would be best suited to uNL? ( i think Biggs in his Gorilla Suit)
Being PR in NYC - Have you ever experienced racism in IRL at the Poker Table? And how did Franky respond?
Your Gal of 3 Yrs - Have you ever tried to teach her poker or any sport? How did that go?
Man-crushing - Was Speedle selection of you in FR Challenge just an expression of his man love for 2+2's Benicio Del Toro?

Serious Questions

Best Clothes to wear to pick up hot PR NYC gals?
Best Clothes to wear grinding@home?
Best Clothes to wear playing B&M?
Final One
You are on WSOP ME FT - You Are CL - We Playing Jamie Gold Style/YangStyle or Happy to try and get shorthanded up the money list.

Love your posts - In my top five posters fo sho

bump to get my well response

LOL Franky F*****' 4 fingers!!
Who is my nemesis...you mean on here, or in general?

Frank Oz would be best suited to uNL since he accepts bribes AND plants drugs on snooty rich people. (I love this!)

Haven't really played much live poker, TBH. Most people don't auto-peg me for PR either. All non-whites think I'm white, and whites know I'm not white, but aren't sure...most people are just like "OMGZ that dOOd is tall" (or something like that LOL)

I've tried to teach her some poker and she does well enough, but really doesn't aspire to become awesome at it. I did manage to get her into distance running tho (she ran Disney with me last year and is running it again with me next year) After that, she's gonna get me into biking.

LOL it's quite possible...though I'd like to think it was because he thought I'd be good for the team..not just for my sexypants, obv.

Serious'ns

I don't pick up hot PR NYC girls. They usually tend to go for stick-thin dudes between 5'7 and 5'10 whose pants are at the knees, are wearing a wife-beater, and yelling disrespectful comments. (I really wish this wasn't true, and I hate to sound so damn stereotypical, but this is what I see) In all seriousness, wearing clothes to pick up girls sucks, imo. Better to be naked.

Anything comfy. I wear a wife-beater and shorts. (mebbe I should switch my indoor and outdoor gear?) It's good because when I'm on tilt I can beat my punching bag/do push-ups and not ruin nice clothes. Naked's good too.

For B&M play...I really don't know. It'd prolly be fruity to wear plaid and zigzag patterned s*** to blind people or tilt them. I remember this one dude at the WSOP a few years ago had a jacket that was all coins and it jingled every time he moved. SOOOO awesomely tilt-inducing.

WSOP, honestly, if it's my first time, I'm just trying to get shorthanded to build roll for future tournies/house and stuff...(of course I say this now, but I might become a maniac when I'm there LOL) Once I have roll, I'll be nuts...not Jamie Gold nuts, but not Harrington-tight either.

(phew) Thanks for the questions! Imma think of some good ones for you when you do your well!

oldsie but a goodsie

Sell since we are here I have two questions, simply opinion questions.

What is your opinion on Christmas?
What is your opinion on Anal?

Yes I have been drinking,

Merry Xmas all!

1. How do you go about your HH review session?

2. What was an "ahha" moment for you in your development as a poker player and especially in moving up to the current stakes you play now?

3. Funniest poker story.
