I've had a few requests to do a well so I just stole the passage from Gboro's well and reposted it.
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?" A voice from in the well shouts back, "Because on Tuesday, it's your day in the well."

So fire away and I'll try to answer as many questions as I can tonight and over the next couple of days.

How much time away from poker do you spend putting in mathematical analysis? Or would you consider yourself more of a 'feel' based player?

In game, how much effort do you put towards establishing a table image? Given your image as perceived by other regs, what do you think you can get away with which other players can't?

1) the toughest player to play against?
2) what have you changed in the last 3 months to become one of the hardest regs to play against?
3) who has had the most impact on your game?

Once you realized you could consistently beat mid-high stakes online mtts how did you go about the idea of approaching volume? Did you just instantly subscribe the theory of the more the merrier, or did/do you have a system that works for you?

Do you "give back?" Such as donate to an organization or donate your time to a non-profit?

To those that have been given much, much will be asked.

Just wondering, if not it's ok!

Thank you sir!

Biggest accomplishment in your eyes? Poker related and non-poker related.

When did you know/figure out that you "had it" and would kill this game?

Tits or ass?

What do you aspire to accomplish? Poker related and non.

5 best players. 5 worst players (no cop outs).

How did you build your roll when you were first getting serious about poker?

Did you ever grind sng's or microments?

If you were backed, what were you playing up until being backed?

1) Was there a "wow" moment when you knew your game had improved to the point where you could compete successfully at the highest level?

2) What single adjustment would you say was the most important in allowing this improvement?

Thanks in advance for your answers and congrats on your success!

how redic did it feel to ship brawl/750k same day? did you feel a little dirty?

did you bust your roll countless times using that kind of BR management?
