Lol sorry I found it hard to resist. I should say that you can exit it without closing down your explorer. Just click x as if to exit the page and when the popup comes up just hold down enter for about 15/20 seconds and it will go away.

List the skillset a player needs to make it from 100NL to 200NL to 400NL.

With a bankroll of 5K what tournaments would you be playing or would you be concentrating on cash games? At what level of BR would you start playing tournaments if at all?

What do you do on a downswing?

What do you do for tilt control?

If every player at the high/ nose bleed levels are sick good regulars where those the money come from?, where are the fishes at these stakes? and do you plan on moving up to the highest level of cash games?

I started playing poker about 2 years ago and got serious about a year and a half ago, unfortunately right around the time of UGIEA and Bill Frist and all that crap. In a way though this was good as it gave me motivation to grind because this made it clear that online poker wouldn't be around forever. I played over 200k hands from October of 07 through the beginning of January 08. I made myself enough of a roll in this time to feel comfortable playing 2/4 w/ shots at 3/6. At the end of December following my biggest heater ever, I encountered my biggest downswing ever, and after getting unstuck in January I decided to dabble in tournaments, which ended up being more of a transition than anything else.

After failing miserably at running good when it mattered, I finally had a 40k two day stretch in August while I was at turning stone casino playing online poker lol. Then I encountered another sweet downswing to the tune of 35k which was remedied by binking a score for 107k in November 08 in the FTOPS 1k event. Since then I've become smarter with my money management as the 35k downswing scared some sense into me. Now I play tournaments and 5/10 for the most part.

I expect this cage to last around 7 days. I'll be checking it a lot and as you guys know I'm pretty chill/lax/etc so I'll answer pretty much anything as long as it's not too personal. Just so everyone is on the same page, I do enjoy long walks on the beach and sunsets.

Let us begin!!

What's it like in the future?

Are there ever any times you feel like quitting? Sometimes I feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall with this poker ****. How do you get over that feeling?

Thanks in advance.....

kinda weird but no one probably knows this...i hate being barefoot around the house, socks ftw!

somewhat regularly, almost always beer. i really dislike taking shots cause unless i'm already trashed they make me feel real sick.

i'm not sure, maybe kanye/jayz diamonds song. YouTube - Kanye West - Diamonds Remix

i don't know gangster movies that well, but i'd have to say don vito corleone.

haven't done enough traveling to really give a good answer to this, but NYC is pretty cool.

i feel like it'd be the former, but i've never played with any talkative good looking women.

lol, i know what you mean, but no.

not that often, i frequently lose trivia prop bets when i feel like i can't possibly lose but inevitably always do. an example would be me being sure that Christian Bales character in American Psycho was considering killing his secretary when he invited her over to his apartment, with an ice skate. apparently sometimes nail guns look like ice skates(or at least to me), gg $50.

sigh.

i can't take credit for this but, 'have fun, no regrets'.
