What do you think is (was??) my greatest weakness in MTTS. What do you think is (was??) my greatest strength in MTTS?

What are you going to do now? Moving out of the country an option?

1. First off, did you like the trade the Celtics made mid season, Kendrick Perkins for Jeff Green. and do you think with the absence of Perkins will hurt their chances this year?
2. Do you honestly think the Celtics have a chance against the Bulls deep in the playoffs? haha im a faithful Chicago fan
3. Better actor, Ben Affleck or Matt Damon?
4. Where does Good Will Hunting rank on your all time favorite movies?
5. Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks coffee?
6. How often, if you do, do you workout in a typical week?
7. Are you nervous in the slow start the Red Sox have gotten off to?
8. Favorite NFL team?

Good Luck in the future, and keep it up.

1. I don't like the trade I think it hurt our chances big time. The cs needed perkins to beat LA in the finals I still think they will get to the Finals but Kobe, Bynum, and Gasol will be too much for them to overcome without that big horse in the middle. He brought toughness and size something the Celtics need to beat LA . He was hurt and this was the last year of his contract and we werent going to be able to resign him so I guess management looked at it like that.
2. I think the Bulls are great. Huge DRose fan and think he is hands down MVP but all that youth will catch up to them in the finals against the Cs. If Chicago stays healthy and the main pieces they have stay in place I think you will have your championship within the next few years. Celtics over Bulls in 6!
3. Matt Damon
4. Top 5
5. Starbucks hands down. I have starbucks everyday and when I travel I have to sometimes settle for DD and I hate it.
6. I use to workout 5 days a week when I was younger played basketball everyday for 10 years. Now Im lazy and usually only play basketball once a week go for a run maybe twice a week play golf a few times a week and have cut the gym out. I keep telling myself I need to get back into the gym I just gotta get there.
7. Yeah not the best start but baseball is a long year
8. Patriots

The more I read, the more I'm jealous of your wife; is that weird?

In your answer to "Shipthisplz" post you said, almost word by word, what I said in a group discussion we were having, and that lead me to ask Joe to post the hand here and ask for your opinion. That you and I could see a hand the same way means I'm getting it, or you're getting worse?

Over a year ago, a good friend told me that a very very good player said I was way too tight. Ever since, I've 3-4-5 bet the living hell out of him, and always, no exceptions, got away with it. He is, hands down, 10 times the player I am, but don't you think that even the best tend to stereotype opponents way too much, and fail to realize their adjustments?

I see you're a basketball fan. Thoughts on Gasol?

Ever visited AK? Plans about it?

I'll try to word this one correctly: Call me a nit, but I can't bring myself to pay $250 for a Kobe steak in Vegas, when my sister is making $8/hour as a security guard in Spain. I love going out for dinner, but when the bill reaches certain point, I stop enjoying the food and start thinking what she could do with that money. That was just an example, but I hope you get the idea. Are there any moral considerations that keep you away from spending too much money in some items or services?

That's it for now. Thank you again for your time

Haha shes a good wife Im lucky to have her I would be jealous too! Haha about your 2nd comment I hope you are getting better but you never know :)
I think alot of people are playing on autopilot and I know I tend to do it sometimes as well. If you 3bet me and it is a close I will usually fold and if Moorman 3 bets me and its close I will shove so I just think that is a natural tendency and something that you can use to your advantage and by the sounds of it you are. If you continune to 3 bet him I think he will catch on.
Gasol is a good basketball player with a ton of talent but he is soft. If he only had some toughness to him he would be great and a force to be reckon with. It would be tough for him though because he is more of a finesse player so it is what it is I think. He will always be very good just never dominate like some big guys can.
I have never visited AK although I heard it is absolutely beautiful. I would love to visit but it is a long way away so no plans in the near future.
I think thats a good thing especially when it comes to poker. I understand exactly what you are saying. Both my parents were teachers and I never went without but teachers don't make big bucks so I was aware of the value of a dollar growing up. Too many poker players blow through too much money "ballin". I enjoy nice dinners and some of the finer things in life so I try not to focus too much on the price but with online poker being shutdown I may have to cut back dramatically. No problem glad I am glad you have enjoyed it!

Thanks bro. I really appreciate the kind words and Im glad to be part of your retirement coming out party. Could you please teach me how to crush ftops events like you do? Im jealous but of course always pulling for you. That is if we ever get to play at full tilt again. Sighhhh

I dont really have a question other than I hope we cross paths at a livement sometime soon and wish you continued good luck.

Thanks! Tigerram had very good fundamentals I just had to get him to loosen up a bit and open up his 3 betting range. He really was just about there I just have to give him that extra push and had to get him to think a little more outside the box. It would be great to cross paths live and if we do come up say hi maybe even go grab a drink. Good luck at the tables!

We havent played together for sometime but I always though your greatest strength was your fearlessness and aggressiveness. One particular weakness was that I think you might take things to personal. This is my biggest downfall as well. I remember one night we were playing the weekly 100r 6max on tilt and I opened 4 or 5 times in a row all 4 or 5 times you 3 bet me and all 4 or 5 times I 4bet shoved or 4 bet and you folded every time Obviously the first two times I had air and the last 2 or 3 times I had hands but I just felt like I got under your skin. I still think your a sicko tho and I think you will crush for a while.

No idea really. I am just going to wait things out and see what happens. I still plan on going to the WSOP and maybe playing more live poker. I wish I had more answers just like everyone else but I have no idea.

No question really, just thank you for doing this well its been by far the best of any previous wells, +1 for it being in the strategy archives.

Also thank you for answering all questions seriously, Jymasters well had some potential but turned into sarcastic questions and responses throughout, i guess people trying to fit in and look 'cool'.

Anyway, GL in future, i hope it all gets sorted out over there so you can continue playing the game tht has got you this far!

Hello P0KERPR033, I am new to online poker and I have a question to you about manging bankroll. My friend showed me an article by Chris Ferguson about manging the bankroll and how he turned $0 into over $10,000, so I used his rules as my guideline when I started playing online last week.

It seemed to be working well for me, but what do you think of his bankroll plan? I had to do some moving up and down in the buy-in levels, which was a bit frustrating to lose at a higher level and move back down and start winning, but with less to show.

What are your principles of bankroll management?

Thanks for your reply. At this point I'm trying to figure out a live bankroll plan, since I blew all my winnings last year partying, didn't expect to need a bankroll fit for live play. And I can't find a poker site with any kind of traffic yet. The Full Tilt article and video now gives an error 404, but I did find it on Ferguson's website here http://www.chrisferguson.com/article-4

great well jcamby i remember being deep in an 11R and thinking who is this Ahole that keeps 3betting me.
a) how important do you think it is to trust your reads and 4bet Jam bluff. 5bet jam bluff etc.
b) what things do you think takes a low-mid grinder to the next level.

GL in future and with wsop mate.
