Hi!
Thanks for the opportunity.
The interview was really cool, was interesting to have the chance to look into your life.

My question is a bit different compared to the ones before.
We saw you 4-5 guys living, working and travelling together, at least through this interview a part of your life.
What about long term relationship with the other gender, I mean how this life style can be adjusted to family plans, if any?
When you guys have partners for a longer time, you "choose" from poker community, or on purpose not from poker community?

well suffice to say its hard to really have and maintain any type of long term relationship. We are all enjoying the bachelor lifestyle for now, but I'm sure one by one we will be picked off by some foreign beauties.

Thanks in advance, and good luck at the tables.

thanks, gl2u

than as a chemist or what? :)


ha, no something along the lines of what seriouseats.com does, or any of the major food blogging sites. Or some type of new startup that links food and technology in a new way.

Hey fedayn

Hey Michael,

thanks for doing this. The interview was really interesting, appreciate that. What do you think about the future of online poker globally, like legal background, separate markets, legalization, new markets (especially Asia), return of U.S. players etc.?

I'm far from an expert on this, but as far as globally goes I hope for less fragmentation of markets like what has been happening in Europe. I'm not sure how European politics work, but hopefully the EU can somehow join markets together instead of segregating. As for new markets, Asia is going to be a major boom if they can find a way to penetrate the market. Afaik typical marketing and brands don't transfer as well to Asia, so hopefully a brand like PokerStars and FTP can find effective ways. Theres a huge player pools, and we all know asians love to GAMBLE.

As for the USA there is a lot of different movement going on at the moment, but none of it seems cohesive enough to say for sure what direction things are going. Theres some state by state legislation that is happening, and also a separate push at the federal level. I'm hoping the PPA can help push through some laws that do allow an open and competitive market for online gambling. As a state by state system wouldn't be very profitable, and a limited market ran by Harrahs and other casino providers might not be either. I do see online gambling being allowed in the next two years, but as to whether I'll be rushing home to play in those games is still to be seen.

GL at the tables!

Peter

Hi !

1. when do you think US players can play for real money on Full Tilt?

probably never :(

2. How did Budapest come in picture for living ?

was living in Buenos Aires and winter was coming around, I had met some friends there who had moved to Budapest a couple months earlier and they said it was amazing and to come out. They were right

3. How long did it take to be profitable after switching from HE to PLO?

3-4 months

3. Does your rakeback enough to pay the rent in Hungary? ( nice apt by the way)
As a hu player rakeback isn't a huge amount of my earnings, but if I manage to put in a lot of volume especially on entraction or ipoker where I have big rake back deals it will cover it. Yeah we love this apartment too, and hate to leave it. Hopefully it will still be open when we return.

Thanks ! ;)

Mrw - craziest night out?
would probably be some vegas nights that starts with a dinner on the strip with a big ccr bill, drunken gambling in some casino, into bottles at some club, then blacking out leaving a strip club as the sun is rising

Favorite stripper story? If u dont feel comfortable replace own and friend's names.
well the best stories would have to be told from the 3rd person because I rarely remember them

Dumbest/best decision you ever made?
best decision was to quit my job and go pro at poker, worst was slacking off in college running up some student debt then never finishing

Top5 fav movies?
godfather
matrix
500 days of summer
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
terminator 2


Favorite joke?
