luc,

if someone put a gun to your head and forced you to decribe your life in 10 years, what would you tell them? (ie none of this i dunno [censored]... come up with your best guess)

after the obligatory, 'get the gun away from me, lol', answer the question...

also, who gets married first, you, sam, or max?

What is the best way of converting from tourneys to cash games?

Does this include reading and posting in the MSNL cash forum, cos that place scared me last time i ventured in.

Am i right in thinking that the number one strategy shift is changing from "gather all chips fast as possible" to "dont lose all my chips unless im 300% sure my quads are good".

Also, i just shoved AKs on the button whilst on the bubble (18 spots pay, we are 20 or so) of a $30 MTT into the uber shortstack (he had 2BBs and it was his BB) and a guy who had slightly less chips than me. Is this bad? Is the guy with slightly less chips calling with 88 justifying that i should be folding AKs or is that simply results orientated thinking?

My guess is push, cos moving up another spot or 10 gets me $50 back and i want to get to the FT.

[/ QUOTE ]
Ya that push is fine in MTT's you actually want to play for first and the 88 call is also good. The thing about MTT's is given their payout structure being really top heavy you want to try to get first like the only effect the bubble should really have is you should be stealing more because people play bad on them. But unless making the money is a lot of money for you, i.e. If I'm on the bubble of the pca I'll probably play super nitty but even then I'd push AK in that spot you described.

For cash reading msnl and ssnl are good I'd probably do something that I didn't do but should have and that's start playing a limit lower than the sngs you play. Two random points
1. MSNL and SSNL are both good but don't treat them as teh gospel talk to other people about hands and figure stuff out on your own.
2. Don't pay too much attention to HSNL I used to read it a lot and I started trying to do stuff they do in lower stake games and it just isn't a good idea because the games are completely different and a lot of +ev plays in High stakes game suck at lower stakes games.
3. IMO the biggest diferrence between the two is in cash you need to start folding hands like TPTK which you almost never fold in sngs you need to start folding more hands in cash at least that's what my biggest problem was.

eagles,

1. eagles, raptors, leafs, and blue jays??

2. biggest/ most common leak that marginal players have in 6max NL.

3. favorite strat poster in STTF?

[/ QUOTE ]
1. Jays
2. Biggest leak people I see in good players I assume? Probably two things 1, people 3bet all the time when they have position and almost never oop this is very exploitable. Also a lot of people sort of play really straight up and make money but don't really experiment and mix around with new things which frequently means making plays that are bad but are valuable learning experiences and make you realize spots where that play could be +ev.
3.I'll exclude the toronto crew, probably shillx for all icm stuff and for other stuff I'd probably say Pineapple [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

I'll answer the married question first because it's easier it depends who you choose.

For the second one describe my life in 10 years I'll answer it in my next post, but I'm confused do I have 10 years to describe my life or do I need to describe my last 10 years of life. If that was so the last 9.9 years would probably be describing how some random guy stuck a gun to my head but I was too big a pussy to do anything. If it means describe the last 10 years of my life how much time do I have to describe it?
BTW I'm sorry for being a huge nit and not really answering.

Edited because it made no sense

Why did I waste my time playing SNG's originally instead of playing cash from the get go?

Will I make supernova? Have to get 10k more fpps and I feel really lazy and dont want to play.

I've been asked a few times who my favorite poster in a few different forums are so I'm just going to make on megapost BTW I'm not including anyone I've ever met IRL.
FoxwoodsFiend, good strat poster hillarious
Nath Also a very good poster for both
Ansky Not so funny but makes good posts about MTTs, and cash
In MSNL there's no one who's posts I particularly like or can think of so I'll say pasterbator.
In STTF Bones/Noodleman are both great for strat and hilarious.
Also a lot of really good posters like z32,newt, etc. don't post often but when they do it's really good.
O when Jman posts strat it's really good one of the best on 2p2 seriously everyone read his newest entry on shipitholla.com it's one of the best things I've read in a while and even though I alread knew almost all of it it still is incredibly helpful.

Sngs are a good way to start and if you can play them profitably they are a lot better than cash mentally. You can play more, you don't need to focus as much and they have lower variance.
edit: also tilt loses you a lot more money at cash.
