--What does your typical daily routine consist of?

Wake up. Shower. Go to lab. Do some work intermingled with 2+2 browsing/posting. Come home. Reheat leftovers. Play some poker. Go to bed.

--What other sites besides 2+2 do you visit on regular basis?

questionablecontent.net
some friends' blogs
Some places StumbleUpon takes me.


--Mr Wookie, what limit do you think is the toughest to adjust to for the typical player: 0.5-1 to 1-2, 1-2 to 2-4, 2-4 to 3-6?

There was something of a jump from 0.50/1 to 1/2. The next really big jump was 3/6 to 5/10. The others weren't really all that noticible if you table select well.

--Do you get paid to be a moderator?

JaxUp answered this one.

--have you ever given or recieved coaching?

I've coached a few players. I've never hired a coach, but I'd consider it after getting some experience at 10/20.

--what in your opinion is the best methodology for the administration of coaching and who is the best coaching value you know of?

I really like sweat sessions as far as giving coaching. I like the immediate interaction and discussion, and I like that you don't get to choose what hands you have the coach look at. For hired session reviews and such, people tend to pick sessions where they ran bad, or perhaps even ran good. I like that a sweat session is truly random. I don't get a coach to find problems I know I have. I get a coach to find problems I didn't know I had, and those tend to crop up when I'm not looking for them. I can't comment on who's the best coaching value, because I haven't hired multiple coaches for comparison.

--if you were forced to learn a non holdem game starting tomorrow, what would it be and what stakes would you strive to play for?

I'd probably take up Omaha, because I don't really like Stud. I'd pick pot limit, I suppose, because limit is pretty stupid for Omaha. I'd consider a game like Crazy Pineapple or TDL, but those aren't as universally available at many sites. My ultimate goal would be somewhere like in NL - 3/6 to 5/10 blinds.

--how far up in limit holdem do you think you'll go before deciding to quit climing and start spreading out?

Probably 20/40, but maybe 30/60. I just don't have much desire to play in the 100/200 game. Call me a wimp, but I'm just too risk averse to have that much money flying around.

--do you still check the bb if the sb openlimps?

Yes, against players for whom it's the best play.

--assume you're learning a new form of poker (say razz). Would you learn the game quicker with a book of fundamentals and a lot of headsup play plus coaching, or a book of fundamentals and a lot of full ring play plus posting?

That's a really tough question. I've always considered that if I was going to really teach someone LHE from scratch, I'd start them with HU play. I haven't tried it, though. I'd probably become competent faster with a book and full ring play, but I'd probably become an expert faster with HU play.

--do you vote?

Sometimes. I may skip out on this latest primary because the list of names just looks like a bunch of nobodys and the incumbant. I'm not educated enough to really want to say anything other than mindlessly picking the name I recognize. I'll probably vote in November, though.

8. what's the status on your micro survivotr with titlat?

It's going nowhere. Forum survivor has been strictly outlawed.

9. who do you think cpudld topple me in micro survivor? i posit no one.

Miles could take you in a heartbeat. Jax used to be able to take you, but he hasn't been posting much strategy. Boz could take you if he hadn't already sworn this place off. Really, I think Buzz, Aussie, HouseCalls, Eeegah, and a number of others could, too. Most people in this forum nowadays just know you as the guy who posts in the NC thread while drunk rather than the guy who posts good strategy AND posts in the NC thread when drunk.

10. what did you think of my eassay in the NC threA?D

Didn't read it. It looked long and pretentious.

11. ouza? que piensas? it's the only 80 proff that i can ddrink straight.

You're telling me whiskey works better, and you can't even drink it straight? Now I know for sure that you're a pansy.
