Questions (from April's hand pack)
What is your strenghts and weaknesses?
I think I am very good handreader and I play my ranges very well in most spots especially against fish. My weaknesses are my multitalbling skills and concentration issues that I have sometimes. Playing long sessions is impossible for me.
Tell me your start in poker and how you managed to climb up the stakes up to high buy-ins?
I started to play poker 2009 when I heard about the free 50$ on pokerstrategy.com. I donked around for 3-4 months playing cash game and 9max sng not making any significant winnings. I played my first 5$ husng (regular speed) in the beginning of 2010. From there it took me half a year to reach the 200s playing straight forward and exploiting fish tendencies. I play highstakes for more than 2 years now and I still feel like I'm improving every session. My results confirm that feeling.
What are you doing when not grinding?
I play waterpolo up to 5 times a week. My team is not very good but it's a nice balance to poker. I also party and drink alot.
Describe your standart grinding day?
I don't really have a standard grinding day. I play when I feel like I can concentrate, if not I do something else.
Do you listen music while playing?
No, it distracts me while I'm playing. But I like to listen to music it when I'm waiting for games. LoveRance - UP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLyfllUHTmc

Note: We use multiple collection methods to parse together stats. We use everything from tracking sites, to private sources to actual player reports (on themselves and opponent results). Due to the nature of collection methods, these stats should only be used for entertainment purposes. They are not accurately enough in any way to be used by governments, or for any official purposes. Actual stats for players that are reliable for legal purposes would need to be gathered directly from the poker rooms. No sources that we use are close to as accurate as the poker room themselves.
