Charles Hawk: How often do you study? How naturally skilled you think you are?
Jack "jackstack99/aisixer3jk" Ketendjian: I think I have a very good understanding of the game naturally, my study habits have been a bit inconsistent sometimes I study 15 hours a week and sometimes I go a month or two without studying anything.: Continous studying is the key to success and sometimes when your running well or making a lot of EV you forget this, and neglect studying the game. poker is always evolving if your not getting better then your getting worse.
Charles Hawk: How do you approach the game versus how do you think your opponents do?
Jack "jackstack99/aisixer3jk" Ketendjian: I've dedicated my entire life to this game. I've slowed down a bit this year as I'm beginning to implement life balance, but I believe if you want to be the best at something, you have to throw life balance out the window. And give it your 100 percent undivided attention. The last few years I've basically done nothing except play poker. If I: could go back I wouldn't change anything. I have no regrets. I am where I am today because I've worked soo hard to be here.In 2012-2014 I'd say I played on average 60-70 hours of poker per week. Eat sleep and play poker is all I knew how to do. I've always said poker is not just a game, it's not a job, it's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle.
Charles Hawk: What are you plans for future? Long term goals in poker and off-poker?
Jack "jackstack99/aisixer3jk" Ketendjian: Being the best poker player i can be. I don't have any plans off poker, I never have backup plans for anything. I think a plan B will only distract you from plan A. When I commit myself to something I give it my all, failing is not an option.
