The interview this week is with the always funny (controversial?) spoonitnow. While spoon may not be the normal professional we have, his insights go beyond what you would expect from a player at this level. I recommend a read!

I cite this as an example of why anyone who figures to be a favorite at online poker doesn't need backing.

spoons success is almost wholly attributable to me steaking him for 10nl last year.

QFT.
This is nit-picky perhaps but my last name is Eddleman not Eddlemen

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

You can make good money even as low as $100 NL if you put in the hours.
It's the people who are wreckless, don't put in the time, or over-estimate their edge who go busto.
Your edges come in much faster than someone who can crush $2/$5 or $5/$10 NL live. (Then again, if the live player really can crush those games, his edge could be considerably larger to make up for fewer changes to push them per hour.)

vn spoon. I like seeing players who didn't make it pre UIGEA make it post. For a while it seemed we were all doomed, but really all we need is to just get better.
Do you spend much time studying the game, or are you just playing all the time?

My study time is broken up into a number of things. At the end of each day for usually at least an hour I'm looking over hands from the day's session and talking about them (and other poker things) with other players. When I take a break for lunch and even at breakfast I'm always in the middle of reading or re-reading some of the "classics", mostly 2+2 books but some others, and trying to think about the ideas presented in those books in terms of what I'm starting to think of as the real fundamentals of poker, a major part of which is the whole ranges "thing".
