#1 Why did you chose your Railbird.com screen name/ what does it mean?
this is the same as the screen id i use for poker stars. there is no real meaning behind it.

#2 How many hours each day/week spent playing poker on?
i play about 10-15 hours of poker each week.

#3 How would you define your style of play?
tight/agressive

#4 Poker Achievements?
finishing 5th in money tournament, then first RB freeroll i came in 3rd place, also had A/10 spades and flop came K/Q/J spades for royal flush, got paid... but only in play chips...

#5 How did you get involved with poker? Where did you pick it up?
mainly from watching WSOP on tv, got me addicted

#6 Which pro would you like to face in a HU match and why?
it would have to be either daniel negreanu or scotty nguyen, because they joke and have fun at the tables.

#7 how have you improved your game ?
i have learnt not to play too loose, be patient, and try not to tilt after losing a big hand...

#8 Do you have any nick names on the felt ?
online... ness or dark.

#9 What goals do you have as a poker player in the next 6 month's ?
to continue trying to play my game, finding ways that i may be able to improve my winning... always try and make it to the final table and railing all monster clan members whenever i can.

#10 What would you consider a weakness in your game/ something you need to improve?
i can get frustrated when after an hour or two of not getting some good cards... i will play stupid hands and get busted...

#12 What are some typical "TELLS" that a online player is bluffing ?
online tells when they bet minimum after flop, or go all in on a flush/straight draw... also when a sitter wakes up and goes all in pre flop, 9/10 they will be holding an Ace, not a bluff but something i've noticed.

#13 How Has Railbirds.com helped your game play?
railbirds have helped me through peoples blogs/strategies, by setting up tournaments, making friends and having clan members who will cheer you on.

#14 Best Moment in a trny ?
best moment was holding pocket 8's and flopped quads, i was able to double through which resulted in me getting to final table to finish 5th...

#15 Most recent trny win?
best recent win this week was in the RB limit stud hi/lo freeroll, made it ITM, as i'm not very good at stud.
