Hey Dan!

I've got a couple of questions, if you would like to answer some of them that would be great!
-What is the sickest hero call you've seen in your poker career?
-What is the method you recommend for learning poker?
-What poker player do you have the most respect for, and why?
-What do you think of Victor Blom, do you think he's a good and different kind of player?

Thank you so much for doing this. Much respect and would love seeing more of you in the poker world!

I'm a big fan Jungle

My main game is PLO and the direction I wish to go.

I once heard you say while being interviewed that more people should suit and tie it and show up to their poker business like it's a real job and more players should approach it that way.

Anyways, want to ask for just a solid piece of advice or two for becoming a better PLO player. There is a ton of info but I am asking you.

Thanks!

Warkittens: Hey Jungle,
Really cool of you to be doing this!

- Biggest aha moment in NLHE when moving up the stakes?
- How do you prepare yourself before your sessions?
- How much off table work compared to actual gameplay? (Just a rough number)
- Have you ever broken anything after loosing at big pot online - if yes, what was it?
- If you were a superhero what would your name and super power(s) be?


-not sure, maybe how your exact cards affect the other player's holdings, or that exploiting players in specific ways was more important than playing perfectly balanced
-depends but i mostly dont
-a lot lately, maybe like 15-25%?
-many mouses, phone, handlebar of luggage, thrown coke bottles etc
-time travel would probably be enough

depends for what the game is for whether i am staked or sell action

ivey probably very rich but i dont know for sure, some kind of 8 figure amount
trickett no idea, im not sure what hes getting money from
antonius no idea, similar situation as trickett
polk probably has a few million or so
robl maybe 10+

I never had an issue with focusing, nor did anything to work on that...

for playing micro stakes more, it depends on your options but i surely wouldnt put all my hopes into poker. That being said im sure you can make some kind of money from it

as for when a mistake is made, im not sure what you mean, but it is important to remember it at least... i remember it and try to think of what i should have done instead

i dont know of any books for 6max, i suggest the online training sites such as this one. Also runitonce, upswing, deucescracked, etc

poker knowledge came from playing, friends, using sims, online resources, some books, etc

i guess I've made around 8 figures maybe but ive lost a lot from shares of people, paid taxes, etc

i just have a lexus isc250 because i am barely home to drive at all, if i was home more I might buy something else

i heard this guy aaron katz is quite a scumbag, viffer if hes around, no eli doesnt owe me any money

hardest thing about being a pro is handling the swings

i would have learned mix earlier and played on euro sites and macau earlier ... I also would have played actively in 2013 if i could do things differently
oh and not trust people

i go to the gym a few times a week or so on average at least when i am on schedule

you prove that you beat a game when you play it over a long enough sample and win, such as maybe 100k hands of nl ring at micro stakes or whatever

I have a bunch of pictures of my facebook, to give specific ones would take some effort... might do it later Cheeky

i didnt study poker to get into it at first, I played. What is important to study depends on what you play, but generally speaking more general things are more useful to get right of course... (such as earlier street ranges)

I played poker because i liked to play games and money being on the line happened to be convenient, if there was something else I could play I might play that. Playing also yields some clear incentive if you win... I am still motivated because I still like to win Smile

favorite unit was the aurora bomber with the bomb upgrade that basically destroyed anything an made it fly everywhere

In that hand with AA top set I would probably bet the flop that but check isnt crazy, as played probably fold i imagine... checking top set multiway is probably a good play

I think pokersnowie is probably pretty good but I have not looked closely at it, i also like piosolver
