Default The well: MTblue

A stranger is being shown around a village that he has just become part of. He is shown a well and his guide says "On any day except tuesday, you can shout any question down that well and you'll be told the answer" . The man seems pretty impressed, and so he shouts down: Why not on tuesday? and the voice from in the well shouts back: Because on tuesday, its your day in the well.

Laid up with mono for a couple of days figured it'd be a good time to give something back after constantly surfing 2+2 for the last year. I've played and been a winner at every limit between 2/4 and 25/50 in the last year.

I played under the screenname TheBlackDeath on prefrist party poker and ranked in the top 10 of all-time money winners at 5/10NL.

I really enjoy doing it. I have burnt out before, but I see it as my ticket to financial stability so I've tried to maximize it while its at its best.

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

1) Its been repeatedly posted in the MSNL forum.

2) Play and play some more and understand the math behind the game not just basics like pot odds.

3) 6 is optimal for me but anywhere between 2-12 depending on the limits and the number of players at the table. I'll play 6 full 6 max tables at 5/10 and 10/20 and less tables if the games get short. I'll play between 9-12 tables at 2/4NL

4. At 116,000 hands at 2/4NL this year I've ran at 4.34 PTBB/100.

5. Do what you enjoy doing.
