Best/worth trip/place you ever visited so far?
Malaysia was the worst and it's not close, high prices for night life, second world living, and I had become accustomed to Buddhism from being in Thailand.
Best Place - Phuket, Thailand is beautiful with very friendly people. Budapest is great, centrally located in Europe and nice to be able to travel everywhere so cheaply on flights and such. I love being able to go through such diverse transitions constantly when I want to see another place. Tokyo was incredible, I wish I had more time there.
Do/did you play live limit games as well?
I've played live limit at Commerce for a week once and then sporadic sessions down in Atlantic City which is 2 hours from my hometown if I am back home visiting. I've done well, but it's rather boring to me. I got smashed the last time I played the 100/200 in Vegas, that game has a tough line up of regulars.
If you do so, what was the biggest/sickest hand and pot so far?
Hi !
1.How were you able to meet up with 8 of the top 12 guys?
Through 2+2 we just decided to do a meet up
2. Any advice on how to get a good coach / backer and touch base on basic fair deal?
Good luck !
There are lots of scammers out there. Make sure people have references and don't become another victim. I'd make sure you know their s/n's, look them up, and talk to others about them. 2+2 has some threads where people offer backing and they arrange deals. As for a fair deal, work towards negotiating with multiple people for that. You can do a coaching/staking deal where they get a percentage of winnings extra for coaching you.
plans if whatever reason online poker is over tomorrow (not losing your br, just cant play anymore)?
I want to invest in real estate, and travel some more. I've luckily done well enough to have the luxury of being able to take time off when I want and live comfortably. Other than real estate, I'd try to get better at other things and pursue something I'd be passionate about. It's actually scary to think of the direction I'd head if poker was gone, I'm really not sure to be honest.
what is the standard reaction in the states if you say you are a poker player?
(here the standard is you are addictive / gambler / in trouble because of it or so & why not find a real job? :D)
