1) if you were gonna buy a significant piece of an online players in the 40k, who? why? Great question, some of the online high stakes regs have not really GOT live yet, but some have. That being said id probably stake ShankingYou for it, I just like his game in THIS type of field.
2) who would win in a fight, you or stamdogg Stamm would be too high so id probably win. Id never fight stam though hes the man.
3) if you could pick your dream tbl (for funs sake), fill it up seat by seat. Man, well I would want some people from all walks of life and a few poker player so lets go: 1) Phil Hellmuth- entertaining, 2) Ivey, fun to play against him 3) Scarlet Johansson, good to look at. 4) Myself 5) Tiger woods (were not on the golf course now, bitch) 6) Obama (so I can convince him to hurry up already) 7) Keanu Reeves (one of my fav actors) 8/9 2 hot lesbian pornstars so theres some sort of distraction.
4) fuck poker stars... agree? disagree? Whatttttt? I cant answer that. (doomswitch)
5) one thing no one knows about you? I was on the chess team in 6th grade, and I once dunked infront of a gym full of people.
6) would you give up a finger (it would be cut off in a painless) procedure for one night with any woman (she can't be white), would you? which finger? which girl? pics if she isnt famous pls. Hell no.
7) good luck this summer, hopefully we'll get to kick in vegas Def will kick it man, gl to you too.

Well, on any given sunday the most ill lose is around 4k. But usually ill break almost even and sometimes get big wins. I mean id get concerned if I went on a 100k downswing.Originally Posted by Randomizer
As a high stakes MTT regular, what kind of downswings would you expect in terms of a cash figure? At what point would you start to get concerned that it's more than variance?
What MTT would you say is your "bread and butter"?
Where's the easiest money to be made in online poker?
I live for Majors like the sunday million, the UB 200k, and the 750k.
I would say the easiest money is learning a new game like PLO, PLO8, or HORSE, alot of fish in those games. Everyone is getting good at NLH.

Im actually the boss of a multimillion dollar pot dealing operation.Originally Posted by koolkeith13
I noticed that several times in this thread you said that you are branching off into "business". What exactly does that mean?Originally Posted by Plattsburgh
First off I dont hate you, lifes too short for hate- ive reached out to you before and you were not ready, but I have alot of respect for ur game so that part is up to you.Originally Posted by BeL0WaB0Ve
Why the heck would you do this?? And did you fire the person who advised you to take this step??Originally Posted by Plattsburgh
I left FullTilt to persue an opportunity to be a pro at Absolute Poker.Originally Posted by CarlosJ73
Platts, what happened with you leaving Full Tilt? Did they boot you because of your associations with JJ?
I was not booted.

Note: We hate each other and that will probably never change but this question is 100% sincere
I made this decision on my own, it was a long and hard decision.
Ultimately I decided that I would rather take a chance at becomming a bigger fish in a smaller pond rather then being a smaller fish in a big pond. I really like FullTilt and all the people involved in it, but I felt like I needed to try to become a bigger name, hense Absolute.
Before I took the position I went to Costa Rica for 2 weeks to check out the operations, and I truly believe they are righting the ship in terms of their past.
Who would you expect to be more forthcoming.. a site who has had security issues, or a site who has not? They are more transparent now then anyone else.
Poker is not my life, I am branching off into business now and I still love poker so I am taking this gamble. I strongly believe in AP and am excited about the future.
-Matt
No but seriously by business I mean other ventures to make money like being a part of a new website, new deal with AP and a consultant role, and getting into hollywood.

I think you got the accent right, yes, as far as Protege I cant really do that right now as I just picked up one yesterday.Originally Posted by Tingate
Can I be your protége?
Did I get the accent above the right e?
If you had a dream table on PAD, who would you choose?
Can you say the alphabet backwards?
Thanks for such an up-to-date Well, enjoyed reading it =]
PAD- Hellmuth, Ivey, Negranu, Lindgren, Tilly, Me
Probably yes.. never tried it.
No problem for the well, I am glad to do it hope you guys are having a good time.

yeah this. another question. is cheating the way to go or is playing under only one name gonna hurt my chances of making millionsOriginally Posted by MUPokerPlayer
Is JJProdigy still playing online? Is he cheating still? Do you keep in contact with him? Have you ever multiaccounted in a tourney?
What other business ventures are you pursuing outside of poker? -

But you sell pieces of yourself on chipmeup. Whats the difference and why sell pieces of yourself?Originally Posted by Plattsburgh
I am not backed, nor have I been for over a year now.Originally Posted by Shipitdonkey
Are you still backed now? How has backing helped you in poker? If you are back would there ever be a time when you would consider not being backed?
Backing helped me initially because I could play higher, thus, getting more comfortable with the higher stakes so when I started playing on my own that comfort level was already there.
I love playing my own money, I wouldent have it any other way.

no the players sell pieces of themselves. In all honesty I don't know how the site itself makes money. Probably just from advertising
