1.a. what poker skill/situation would you best like to tackle that you may have trouble with now

I think I could stand to be a better hand reader. I am good at putting people on a range, but I don't narrow my ranges enough.

1.b. same q as 1.a. but replace poker with life.

I'm a little short on motivation and focus right now. I could stand some more. I might also like to find a girl, but, eh, I'm not desperate or anything.

2.a. if you had a cushy job, but figured you could make the same playing poker in X hours of 3-4 tabling.. what would X have to be for you to quit (e.g. 2000 hours of poker is fairly intense -> burnout more likely.. presumably X would be less than 2K for most people).

I think that if my X was low enough to tempt me to quit, I'd probably just keep the job and continue to play a little poker on the side and make mad bank. I really don't want to be a pro. I don't get enough satisfaction out of it to have it be a career. The most I could see it being is a support in an interlude if I have some sort of breakdown and decide to switch tracks.

2.b. knowing what (little) you know about me, what would you think my X threshold is?

Anyone who sets X at 40 per week is a fool, methinks. It'd have to be somewhere between 20 and 30.

3.a. do you hate multi-part questions?

Not really.

3.b. do you think in complete sentences/thoughts or in phrases/flashes of thoughts (like I do and always add comments in parenths like this)?

I tend to use complete sentences, but there are always flashes of phrases, sights, and sounds.

4. what motivates you to sit at a poker table?

1. Fun
2. Challenge
3. Money

--Which person would you like to ban permanently from 2+2 because you hate him/her personally, but hasn't exactly done anything violating the forum rules (so if you did, it would be mod abuse)?

KaneKungFu is a damn troll in OOT, but apparently he's really damn good at NL and a good poster in HSNL. I had plenty of disagreements with Evan, but he's a decent poster, just a poor mod. Tony Palodino seems like a pretty unsavory character, and, really, Clarkmeister rarely contributes anything useful beyond statments of his own self-worth. I'd really like to be able to get rid of nos1nos2 permanently, but try as we might, he keeps coming back (he's legitimate mod bait, though).
