Did you read any poker books to get you started on the game? What about continuous learning…are you picking it all up from other players and experience?

DeMichele: I've read alot of books. I'm probably approaching 20. I've read all the staples that don't need mentioning, aside from the ones released in the passed couple years, but I've also read alot of books that teach you how to play horse variations, as becoming a well-rounded player is my goal. When you're a live player, being able to switch from game to game is very important. When a whale comes in to some random game, you want to be good at it. Truthfully though, I have 11,000 posts at 2+2, the majority of which are from posting in the lhe forums. 2+ 2 trained me to be able to problem solve and use the logic necessary to solve complex poker problems. Reading books can only get you so far, because they are all on a very simplistic level.

I would also really like to get a sponsorship deal with a poker site. The money would be great of course, but getting signed actually means you became a somebody, which would accomplish one of my goals. Being a somebody in this poker world was always something somewhat important to me. Fame in the poker world would be great as well.

Sponger - don't be sad, you are somebody to me. In my mind you will always be a mod, even if you are not - that says a lot! [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

PokerLizard: If you were Matt Damon's character in the movie Rounders…How long would it take for you to get with Famke Jansen after your prudish girlfriend had dumped you? What was Mike McDermott thinking?

DeMichele: See, Mike's a [censored] idiot. You can't hold that against him though. He doesn't know any better. His girlfriend had him severely whipped. Sex with a prude can't be that good anyway. Drop that hoe and chomp into that kobe beef.

This was kinda uncomfortably honest. Part of me is glad to hear somebody admit it, and part of me is like "ewwwwwwwwwwww"

Beyond that it's a really good interview.
