Hi Joe, can you list some of the learning milestones that have contributed to your current level of success. Things such as any "ah ha " moments, coaching, networking with other good players and any other events that made you the player that you have become today.

How many interviews have you done since play stopped (ballpark)?

Will you be trying to find hand histories of your opponents to try and break down their play and pick up tendencies? Do you think it is unethical to do so even if the hand histories are displayed publicly?

[whatever2615]

are you gonna study jamie gold's final table domination to prepare for this?

[Superleggera]

What was your mindset like after taking such a bad beat from Candio when he hit his runner-runner straight and how were you able to recover so well from it?

fyp.

[CayneB]

Is Duhamel as big of a tool as he appears?

[hiroshi_87]

Are you planning to take any time off from poker while waiting for the November final table, or are you just going to continue to crush? =)

[N 82 50 24 herp derp derp]

Was it hard to sleep after you made it to the final 27 and you knew you had one more day until the Nov Nine? What did you do to celebrate making it? Any immediate plans for the 800-some thousand you won?

Also, pbjaxx is a P5er although he is not active.

[bdubz9180]

What do you think of John Racener's game?

[pokernut312]

who do u think is the best player at the final tables??..or someone who you would rather not get involved in any pots with

[InaneFool]

Who did you embarrass the most and how did it happen?

Also, you're a sick individual.

From your experience, what areas do online players need to improve on when taking their game to the big live events such as the main event? Edited By: Awnline Jul 21st, 2010 at 10:47 AM

[jusqwan]

will you be looking for assistance from anyone in the sense of reviewing your game to this point, possible leaks, possible people at the FT to exploit, chip stacks (with expectations for levels at 6player? 3players?) etc. will you be discussing these issues with other knowledgeable guys like yourself perhaps seeking out some well established live players? interested to see what kind of preparation everyone will be putting in on their opponents...

[DaShmol]

When did you really feel comfortable you would make the November 9 or was it not until the 10th guy busted? More importantly, how did we not swap percentages in the biggest score of your life?

[Kiba52]

Will you ever go back to grinding online MTT's full time after this?
