i owe a lot to pocketfives and probably haven't given much back as of late so here goes. for those unaware i will steal mig's explanation, originally stolen from assasinato:

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 yeah, essentially, in this thread, I'll answer any question you have about playing professionally, the game, myself, or any random question you have that might not even to do with poker.




i will try to be as honest as possible and not sugar coat stuff. okay ask away bros

If you were to start all over at your most basic of poker experience and understanding w/ a $500 bankroll and a month to dedicate to learning the game....

What books/training sites/online sites or games would you invest your time and money in to get to winning money and crushing MTTs?

 when you first started hitting final table scores from an initial deposit... did you keep that money in to pad your roll to move up in stakes?  Or was it a slow grind of many FTs that built up your BR slowly?

 Thanks for doing this.  What is your thought process in a hand.  How do you know when and how much to go for value in a hand, flop, turn, river.  If your not sure on a range to put a player on how do you proceed.  Kind of a general ? about some insight will be great.  Thanks.
