UTG in POFC, how do you play a hand with a 4-flush and a top-2 FL pair, such as KK742 or AA742 (assuming that QQ+ is the standard for getting to FL)? |

Which FL rules do you prefer for POFC (how many cards FL should get, how do you like them dealt, what hand to qualify, etc.)? Why? Do you think the rules should be standardized, or do you like that different people play different ways? |

In OFC and POFC games, do you adapt your strategy to the way your opponents are playing, or do you always play the same style? |

Did any of your friends or family members express concern when you decided to be a professional poker player? Do any of them disapprove of your career choice even though you're so successful? What would you be doing if you weren't playing poker for a living? |

For games like Hold'em and Omaha, it's easy to find records of hands played by professionals, so that we amateurs can study and learn from them. I haven't been able to find a collection of POFC hands played by top pros so that I can see what they do differently than I do. Do you know where I could find some? If not, would you be willing to play 25-50 games at FTR against one of the regulars here so that we can study the lines you take? |

Who do you consider to be the best player of all time? What about the current best player?How do you feel about last year's ME champ claiming to be the best player ever? |

I prefer playing EPTs, because they are the biggest and best events. Playing in Europe, you get more of a melting pot of players, so many different countries represented which is kind of awesome. In the US tournaments, most players are from the US or Canada. | |
