[/ QUOTE ]

Started playing texas hold'em when I was 7. My dad used to run a poker game/play professionally. We played it like Candyland at my house.

Started playing online 3 years ago. Deposited 80 bucks lost it. Deposited 30 dollars lost it. Deposited 200 dollars bonus whored my way up to $1500 haven't looked back. Dropped out of school for a year to play poker fulltime. Back in school now still playing poker fulltime.

No avatar b/c I'm not that flashy.

Yes I still play poker 160 to 200hrs a month.

Hi, in a PM we talked briefly about shifting styles. Can you post some HH's where you won a big pot from a good+ opponent due to the confusion you induced by shifting styles (describe your style prior to and during)? Thanks

Do you ever open up Pokertracker, find a reg and study how he plays vs you and other players?

Ive just moved up stakes and 90% of the time the tables are filled with 5 tags and me...how can i crush them?

thanks for doing this!

- can we get a graph of all your lower limit play?

- a brief history of how you started playing poker and how you made your way up the limits?

- thoughts on this hand: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...e=0#Post9993686

- am I trying way too hard to justify a bad call?

I'm computer illiterate what's a good graphing program?

I usually fold there against passive opponents.

Some random questions to start this off.

Do you consider yourself a poker pro?

If so, what are your plans? Are you planning on playing indefinitely? Are you looking for another career?

How would you describe your style of poker on the range of nit to LAG?

Favorite album?



[/ QUOTE ]

By default I consider myself a poker pro (given its my only means of support).

I plan on playing until I can retire from my poker winnings and live off my investments hopefully within 7-10 years.

I've always been more of a nit than lag, though other people may disagree.

Favorite Album: The Early November's "The mother, The mechanic and the path."

7.8 BB/100!!! impressive
1) Where is this published and how do you know you're in the top 10?
2) Best ways you found to learn the game, and advice you would give to players trying to work their way up
3) How many tables would you play at a time?
4) winrates and/or graphs of smaller stakes
5) Best piece of non poker advice

Will you coach me?

What adjustments do you make to your game when you're sitting with a table full of 20/15's who are all 3betting lightly and bluffraising and, well, just playing tough poker? Do you try to tighten up and slowplay a bit more, do you try to out aggro them, a mix, what?

I haver a higher winrate playing only 2 tables, but not so much higher than it makes playing 4 tables less profitable. Am I hurting my growth by going on autopilot and grinding through many tables, or should I not worry about this?

[/ QUOTE ]

Unfortunately I don't coach. At a table of tough players, I try to play each player individually. Each player has his own exploitable quirks and I use all the weapons+ some more as described.

You can 4 table and still play good unrobotic poker. My game degrades after I get more than 6 tables running.
