Mr. Young,

Your story is encourging because you didn't have immediate success. What held you back the most, initially? I read earlier ITT that you started 3 betting more, then 4 betting more, but did any of the struggles come from defining your own game, instead of just following "standard" rules/theory? The reason I am asking is because after 18 months, my stats still have me as a spewy fish, and while you are what you are, I still have faith that the approach I've taken, all the times I've colored outside the lines and tested the boundries, will come back to help me. when i look at my peers (players with about the same level of experience as me) and see somebody with much better ROI, it's always discouraging, but i also think some of those players ahead of me in winnings are doing it by "thinking less and following the rules more," and I think (hope) that I'm building a more portable game, one that will work as I move up in stakes, where, some of the players outperforming me now may eventually hit a wall because they aren't thinkin/innovating enough. It seems like a lot of very successful players know what do in certain situations, but don't really understand the math/poker theory as to why, and their biggest skill is copy-catting the other winning players, which can be smart, easy, and profitable, but will probably eventually catch up to them when sat with 6 sick humans who know the "standard moves" just as well as they do.

lol keep playing well socrates.... jyman whatd u want for christmas? that is my well question

The night before I grinded until 4am while I was waiting for HU4Rollz to roll up so he could grind at my place(my Mom's house obv) on Sunday. Then that morning I woke up and just had a feeling, a feelinggggggg!!! You know, like when u look down at 94ss and a guy raises and then someone 3bets and it's on you for like half your stack and you're just like "Man, I know it's comin. These guys both got AK, I can't fold, I'm all in." And then you win. That's how I felt while making my facebook prediction.

1) Pokerjamers is in the top 10 and so is Taypaur and Gettin Daize, all nits. So a nit can make it to the top you just gotta be patient and wait for that AK cuz you know it's comin mannnnn!
2) It's all about the money, this is a business mannnnnnnn

I started in midstakes and I was occasionally taking shots at HS pretty much right when I started online because I was already playing 2/5 and 5/10(occasionally) live. It took me about 6 months of taking shots to stay in HS without much worry of having to drop back down.

u know what to do when we meet next time...gl

It’s cool, this is Well is still going.

Jymaster11:

For 3, 4 betting do you only do this if both you and the villain have more than 20BBS?
What is your criterion for 3-4 betting? Do you do it in the early stages? Their stack sizes or if they have been active? Cheers dude.

Jy-
Have you ever dished out a transfer to the million of railbirds/beggars on FTP? If so how much, if not, how many times a day do the railtards harass you for a $5 transfer?

Heard some kid won the Sunday 500 and the NHG slightly inebriated, believe he might be in the top 10 as well......

No one man shood had all dat powa..

Do you believe you are gifted or its from hard work? Obviously gifted from all your hard work, but did you always know you had the talent?

Do you really believe you are the best online player? You believe you deserve number 1?

How superstitious are you if at all?

What side of the bed does doogan sleep on, and is he a back sleeper, side sleeper, or just belly down?

Edit: Would you rather get a cavity filled or check/fold?
Congrats on the obvious..gl tonight

Do you call off so wide to give the illusion that your not folding if someone play back at you? If not are u slamming your mouse with your front teeth during the typical hand? Fortune favors the bold.. congrats on your success in '10

Always thought I was good enough to make it, that's why I dropped out before I even had a bankroll. It's from all the hard work.

There could be an argument for about 25 different #1's.

Not superstitious at all.

Doogan sleeps on the left side of the bed and he takes up about half of my queen sized bed and I take up the other half. I'm 4 times as big as him but he's a sprawler. He balances his sleep game from side to back to belly down.

Cavities and check/folding are equally painful.

-Can we get u and Daize on the Big Game plz!!!!

1) None, I'm a one trick pony (trying to get better at PLO tho).
2) I have one at the moment, it's going fine.
3) I played with Pureprofit4 at the Legends Main Event and was really impressed with how he could continuously put you in the most awkward spots.
4) I think it has helped my online game a little bit, I've been flatting a bit more online (which I do a ton live) and I've had fun getting in more post flops spots. Single tabling is beyond boring.
5) Only one of us is rich enough for that to happen and it isn't me.

I just like to see all 5.
That would hurt my teeth a lot.
