1. first things first...you live out in asia? why?

2. when did you start your poker career? and specifically online? What stakes, when did you move up to where you are now? Why aren't you playing higher?

3. top 3 200 NL players in your opinion excluding yourself.

4. most hands played in a month/$$$ made per day / $$ made per month

5. who's game do you respect the most here on 2+2 in the micro/small/midstakes area.

6. any aspriations to play at the highest highest levels? nosebleed stakes?

2. I always played online. I was primarily a SNG and MTT player until a year ago. I’ve been at 200NL for a year, playing a bit of $400NL (maybe 10% of my hands). Not playing higher because I have bills to pay and I’m still learning. Though I've been successful at 400NL, mostly because I cherry pick.

3. Mostly the guys that play higher as well;
jackhan
ysomehting (cant remeber his game but he gives me fits)
dilith

dr.ballgame is pretty good as well but I havnt played a tonne with him yet

4.
most hands/month=120,000
$$$/day =$12k
$$$/month=~$13k

5. I respect everyone’s game. I try to understand why they play the way do, in order to better exploit it.

6.I’d like to eventually start just picking out the best games from 400-1000NL.

How in the heck did you wind up in Korea via Canada? Any plans to return to North America on a permanent basis?

What is your favorite non-premium poker hand?

Did you start out in the micros and grind your way up? I'm interested in your poker story please.

Thanks for doing this!

Me and my g/f might be moving back to canada next year. She graduates university in february and we'll decide from there.

Favourite non premium hand is probbaly 76s. No particular reason.

What part of Korea do you live in, and have you been to CooBucks in Itaewon?

Do you play any games besides FRNL and have they helped your development as a poker player?

[/ QUOTE ]

I live in Bundang, a suburb of seoul. I don't think I've ever been to that place. To be honest, I hate itaewon and try to stay away unless I'm shopping.

Limit poker helped me immensely with hand reading. I played a tonne of that last year, which I neglected to mention in my poker story.

Do Asian chicks give better oral than American girlz?

[/ QUOTE ]

In my experience, yes. But I've heard horror stories from some of my friends.

Y do you eat cats?

[/ QUOTE ]

Koreans don't eat cats silly, they drink them.

Cats are boiled alive and made into a tonic as a folk remedy for Neuralgia and Arthritis. This tonic is known in Korea as "Goyangi Soju" or Cat wine. And yes, it does exist.

Technically, it's illegal in Korea although the laws are not enforced.

On and, I've never tried any of that stuff. Though I have tried silk worm larvae.

Did you always have a asian fetish or did it just happen?

[/ QUOTE ]

I've had 4serious g/fs. 3 have been asian. One was Viet, one philipino and now korean.

I'd say it's a preference rather than a fetish.
