Hey abdul


1) Do you play live in Budapest?
I haven't yet, lots of logistical issues with getting/having a bunch of forints to play equivalent stakes to what I play online(2/4-5/10)

2) Have you visited other places of Hungary already? If not, are you planning? (e.g. Debrecen :))
Just Budapest and to Sziofolk to visit Balaton a couple times. Leaving at the end of the month, but when I return in spring I want to visit some of the other cities. Any recommendations


3) Who's gonna win the final bracelet in WSOP ME?
Will be rooting for Andras Koraknai to bring home the bracelet.

4) Who will be the president in US?
Obama, Romney is a terrible choice for America right now and would set the country and economy back. Too conservative ethically and economically will only protect the rich.
In last questions, what's your opinion ofc.

thanks!

Hey Theo

Hey!

Have you been to other hungarian cities? Which ones? Which one was your favourite?

answered above

Why did you choose PLO for your main game?

I was previously a 6m NL player, went on a 6 week holiday and when I came back decided I was going to learn and play 6m plo. Did that for 2-3 months before giving hu a try. I really liked the game and started winning right away so I stuck with it.

Do you have any financial plan? I mean do you have investments or share in an enterprise? Or do you leave all of your extra money in your bankroll?

As of now I just keep it all in my bankroll, but I now have plans to start moving money outside of poker.

Do you really think that the public transport is good at Budapest? :D (You said that in the interview) I am not a big world traveller, I have only been to several european cities but i think the public transport here is awful compared to other countries.

It works well for what I use it for which is just central budapest transit. Compared to the states and buenos aires the public transport is much better.

Anyway its good to hear that you like Budapest, enjoy your time and good luck at the tables!

Hey holdenper

Hi, and thanks for the opportunity!:)

- Don't you affraid of burning out? How do you keep yourself motivated to play poker?

Always, I take plenty of trips and try to keep poker compartmentalized so that it doesn't take up every thought of the day.

- How do you learn PLO HU cg? Started with PLO and transition to HU, or started with NLHE HU and then go for PLO? Watching vids, coaching, reading books, talking with friends, or just plain simple experience helped the most your learning process?

Started with NL 6m, switched to plo 6m, then to HUPLO. Lots of Galfond vids, lots of study, and a bit of natural talent for picking up the game.

- Did you try hungarian liquor: pálinka?:)

I have, ugh that was a long night

- Two american blogger/2p2er became "famous" between hungarian players (because somebody translate their blogs): Miika "Chuck Bass" Anttonen, and Tony "Bond18" Dunst. What do you think about them? Do you familiar with their blogs?

A little familiar, remember more of Bond18 when he was a regular 2+2er. I think its great for online guys to make way into the live arena to provide insight. As for chuck bass he fits the role of crazy finn quite well.

Thanks and GL

I'd say the games are beatable up to 15BB/100 or so, depending on game selection and tilt control

I don't have a strict stop loss, just depends on my mood, opponent, etc. Some people I'll quit after losing 2bi, others I'll quit after losing 15.

Hey Krono

Hi

Depends on your long term goals, but I'm a strong advocate of learning cash games.

Reading this scared me away from being an mtt pro Life as an Online MTT Pro by the Numbers (It’s Hard) | NoahSD's Awesome Poker Blog

As for sng's I've never professionally played them so I don't know what type of earnings are available, but with cash games the sky is the limit. Just evaluate what your BR is, how much you can earn per hour with that BR at SNG's then compare that to people with similar BR's at other games and see if the switch is worth it.

Thanks!
