Why exactly aren't you planning to major/study in Finance and Economics?


You seem to have an understanding of the topics and after taking courses in both, you probably have a monster leg up in the competitive market because of an investment history + you can breathe.

It had been a while since I had won anything huge staking people, so Ajunglen and Kingdan each decided to have a 200k online cash, and cutiepi314 won the Grand Prix de Paris for like 400k euros.

How do you snap-call my 3-bet-shove on the bubble of Wednesday $320 with A7 when it was my first 3-bet of the tournament?

Competent players are more likely to 3-bet if they haven't been 3-betting.

How do you hit runner-runner straight after I flop trips?

Best hand won?




Care to enlighten? not a big deal if you dont care to, but i seriously was amazed when you were actually 18.

Ya, I remember playing with you a ton back then, it was more or less just because I didn't want to act like a young person when I had recently put up the picture of a 50 year old as myself.


besides this, what other strategic advice that made a big difference in your game/ leak plugging did he give you ?

Its hard to say anything that people don't really know, there were no like "secrets" to success, iono, don't call much out of position, raise lots in position, cbet lots against weak opponents, bet similar amounts of the pot whether you have it or not etc., nothing too fancy, I more or less just watched them play and asked questions.

Meh, I took econ in highschool, and it was pretty lame.


If you are - I'm in the UW business school right now - if you have any questions or anything...

I took econ 101 and econ 102 this year, I had Larry Smith so they were pretty interesting, but at the same time, my mom is in business, and when I talk to people she knows from work, they all seem to think theres no reason for me to go to school, since so many of them don't like their jobs.
