#1 Why did you chose your Railbird.com screen name/ what does it mean?
My screen name is the name of a semi-pro paintball team I played for, I made it as my Stars name so as a result, to keep it simple I chose it as my RB name
#2 How would you define your style of play?
Tight aggressive
#3 Poker Achievements?
Won 2 180 4.40 sngs and a 5.50 MTT for over 1700. Still looking for a biggg one!
#4 what brought you to join railbirds in the first place, and what keeps u here ?
I was playing on stars and I seen a player pic for railbirds.com and I decided to check it out. What keeps me here? What doesn't keep me here LMAO! I enjoy reading about other peoples poker playing ability and the people here all seem to be great people, on and off the felt.
#5 Which pro would you like to face in a HU match and why?
None, I'd rather play some random who just donates his chips, but if I was forced to play a pro it would probably be Phil Helmuth, just so I can hear him complain when I bad beat him...
#6 how have you improved your game...was it by lots of practice, was it by books you have read and if so, which books, was it by playing live ??
I read something along time ago that has really stuck with me, DONT READ THE BOOKS, Learn to play by playing. Tips are ok, as long as you dont follow them everytime. You can't play by the book and not expect to be outplayed. Even when you play by the book sometimes the "luck factor" has its way. You have to learn your own style and stick with it. Find out what works and stay within urself. As for how have I improved? It took me a long time but to learn to trust ur instincts. Not everytime someone re-raises they are bluffing or they have it. Set up a table image and play off that image. The "donks" will pay you off and the experienced players will play off your image. And my #1 rule, DONT BLUFF A CALLING STATION.
#7 Who are 5 players you look up to on railbirds and why? or Who do you think based on what you've seen or read, would you like to face heads up on railbirds?
I look up to everyone on railbirds and wish to play against everyone. Unfortunately I haven't gotten to know to many people, but if you want to get to know me hit me up with a friend request. We can play on stars sometime.
#8 How do you play differently in tournaments vs. cash games?
I play tournaments far more aggressively than cash. I play quite a bit of .25/.50 NLHE recently and learned if you play aggressive someone will slow roll ur entire stack.
#9 What would you consider a weakness in your game/ something you need to improve?
Sometimes I doubt my instincts and call someone when I'm pretty sure they got it. I think I call just to prove myself right, either way, I LOSE.
#10 What are some typical "TELLS" that a online poker player gives ?
Betting pattern, I'll call a raise in position and a call on the flop (alot of times with nothing) just to see what they will do on the turn. A lot of players will put up the white flag and you can steal with a decent bet on the turn. If they call, you'll make ur hand on the river
#11 How Has Railbirds.com helped your game play?
I like to post my cash table sessions and I am open to criticism. People tell me their ideas and I take them to heart and try them on the table. Just adding items to my arsenal. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont.
#12 Best Moment in a trny ?
Winning 1700 in a 5.50 NLHE MTT on stars...
#13 Most recent trny win?: (non railbird trny)
Tournament #78787742 4.40 SNG for 216.00
#14 Who intrduced you to poker ?
My dad, he was playing online and I sat and watched him for hours. I remember him holding those good starting hand cards and playing off that LOL. How far the game has come...
#15 How does your strategy help in Freerolls provided by Railbirds.com?
I don't play too many freerolls unfortunately, but I do realize that you can be more aggressive because people dont believe you.
#16 If their wasn't Poker, what would you be doing?
Well unfortunately I live in Ohio so the weather sucks now, but when I'm not playing, I'm riding my crotch rocket and playing golf...
