1. What would you say is the most important trait in nosebleed stakes NL players? E.g. fearlessness, not tilting, hand reading, disregard for money or other.
2. What transition in stakes was the most difficult for you (e.g. 50/100 -> 100/200)
3. Is 100/200 the highest you've ever played?
4. Can we expect to see you vs. bad_ip at 200/400 any time soon?
5. How's the PLO going? Do you think the transition from HSNL -> HSPLO is a hard one to make?

1) Honestly emotinal control and not tilting is very very important. It is so easy to tilt when playing HU and shorthanded.

2) probably 5/10 to 10/20, but the hardest of all transitions was 1/2 to 2/4 and 2/4 to 3/6. I thought those jumps were really rough.

3) no I have played 200/400 live

4) yes I am working on my HU game. It needs another 6 months tho before I am ready for that. If there was a 6max 200/400 game I would play it. I would be willing to play all the way up to 500/1000.

5) PLO is very swingy, which can be frustrating. There are so many times where the money goes in as 60/40 favorite or 55/45 favorite that it can seem like a crapshoot. But I believe that an expert plo palyer could ahve a much hgiher winrate than a expert NLH player. My earn is much higher in NLH right now but I think with another month of plo I could have a better earn that my current NLH earn.
