2. Can you hook JaMurda and I up with SC2 beta when it comes out? We have plans of getting a balla mansion, quitting life, playing SC2 all day and becoming tag-team champions. Getting in early on beta would certainly be helpful.

How the hell did you get to over 10k posts?

Where did you go?

1. Over/Under on how long it takes me to accumulate $3m in net worth? I'm 21 until December and have truly spent far, far more money than I should have by now.

In today's money or tomorrow's money?

You're near the top of my list.

3. Will you give me a HU rematch? Over a year ago we played 200bb deep on play money for $100 and I basically got outplayed and outran. I'd suggest something like best of 3, 300bb deep format. For pride only (unless you want to throw a few bones on it).

It's not poker unless money is at stake.

What do you see in FTR's future?

I think it'll hold on a pretty solid poker community. Can't see it passing by 2p2 and it will always be difficult for a coummunity like this to maintian the interest of players after they evolve to a certain point.

Will you be here as long as FTR is around?

Probably.

Do you think I'm mean to 3tanes?

I'm certainly more sympathetic to him.

How the hell did you get to over 10k posts?

Spamming ads for Viagra.

[Fnord]

what are you going to be doing in 10 years? 25 years?

10 years, working from home, playing lots of poker and enjoying life.
25 years is too far away.

got any cool off the wall goals that we would never guess about you?

Not really.

coolest place youve traveled to (besides vegas obv!!)

St Martin is amazing if you're into that. My wife has super-sensitive skin, so I probably won't be back anytime soon. Otherwise, I think Vegas is the coolest place on earth.

How do you balance money-making and brain food? (Brain food being cool/interesting stuff like esoteric stuff and amateur physics and things like that) How much adjusting and balancing and tweaking and pitching and yawing is necessary to get the two bits in harmony?

By amateur physics do you mean be taught physics or that you have a firm understanding and you're trying to explore new fields?

Neither.. I mean getting a bit tipsy and chatting about dark matter, ways to diss the Big Bang theory, balance within the universe, and anything else incomprehensible that comes to mind.. No knowledge, just throwing some amateur theories down.. Pretty much the same way people talk about sports whilst knowing fuck all about it.
