Re: Timex\'s Well
Definitly have to ask for a poker story. When, why, and how did you get started playing online? Also, you mentioned you won a seat in a 1M winner take all sng? How did you decide you wanted to start shorting the games on FTP and why did you stop? This is going to be a goood well, thanks for doing this.

Re: Timex\'s Well
how are your parents about everything? really proud? awkward? do you feel like you have a weird child/parent relationship now because of your early success? are they worried that you'll just play poker forever, or do they know thats not the case, or do they not care if thats the case?
best moment in poker for you so far? what kinda cool things have you bought? how jealous am i of you that you dont have to pay taxes on winnings? do you understand yet how this new tourney law re: taxes will affect your backing people to play in the US? if so, how? do you consider yourself nitty with your money, or are you generally a free spender, because [censored] it, whats 20/100/200 dollars? coke or pepsi?

Re: Timex\'s Well
This should be really interesting. All questions are serious:
Does it ever feel really surreal/weird having your kind of wealth at your age? Does it ever make things highly awkward around the rest of your guys your age (college students) who are likely broke or are most of the people you spend time with poker players anyway? After playing live poker first hand and realizing how sick soft it is, do you intend to expand your backing operations? Who is the best player to come out of Waterloo? If you could back 3 and only 3 players in the WSOP ME from 2p2, who would they be (without make up factoring in?) Do you ever consider breaking off backing me due to my lack of results? Who is the best MTT player online? Why do you make so many FT's but then have things go so wrong? Your coming to Aussie Millions right?

Re: Timex\'s Well

Ya, they've gotten more and more supportive as time as gone on, my dad primarily because he realizes how I operate like a business rather than a gambler, and my mom because she is materialistic. Serious question, have you stopped going to school to go pro? / do you plan on absolutely, positively graduating college now that the poker bug has hit bigtime? Do you have a potential major? I was going to graduate college when I was like 20-21 because I skipped a grade, I'm a math major, but haven't selected what within math since I want to keep my options open. There is a good chance that I won't graduate until I'm like 25ish because $1 is a lot easier to earn now than it will be in 10 years playing poker and because $1 now is worth a lot more than $1 will be in 10 years. Are you investing any of your $ in areas other than poker? Ya, most of my money is in relatively low risk stocks. What tournies are you playing this year? More or less everything 18 year olds can play, almost all the EPTs, PCA, Aussie, WPT T&C, WPT Spain, Aruba Who are the top 10 people you've staked? What do you define as top 10, and what do you define as "staked"? I've had %'s of some exceptional people for tournaments, but haven't necessarily had a long term deal with them. First person I staked? ibluffuout4 for some Sundays like the week after power(he took 22nd in the 530 million) Anyone ever rip you off wrt staking? I am like 80% sure someone fudged numbers for their results so I cut them off, but since I'm not 100% confident, I won't say who. Should I have folded my top two pair to the river cr hu? Meh, its very close, but you can't argue with results, so in retrospect yes.
