#1 Why did you chose your Railbird.com screen name/ what does it mean?
The #1 reason i choose the name PerfectGame is because i have pitched a perfect game b4 & being that it’s almost impossible to do i’m really proud of accomplishing it.
#2 How many hours each day/week spent playing poker on?
I play 2-3 hours a day/@ the most 25 hours a week (hours include live play)
#3 How would you define your style of play?
My style of play is like the Stone Killer Lion (tight aggressive)
#4 Poker Achievements?
Don’t exactly know what falls into the category of “poker achievements” but i have won a lot of tournaments/sngs & i have always been ahead in what i’ve put in
#5 What brought you to join railbirds in the first place, and what keeps u here ?
I joined because of the freerolls & what keeps me here i don’t really know lol
#6 Which pro would you like to face in a HU match and why?
I would like to face Chip Reese in hu H.O.R.S.E. because he’s the best all-around player in the world & you gotta beat the best to be the best
#7 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 have improved my game by playing many many hours (experience)…i started playing live then switched to online when i got injured & have been able to play more h/p/h than on live play & that has helped a lot. I have read books b4 but nothing is better than experience
#8 What advice for somebody starting to play?
If you start to play then start playing live 1st…all of these newbies are learning the game from online play & it’s nothing but a bunch of DONKs to learn from. There’s a very select few online players that have as good a game online as they do live.
#9 I would be interested in knowing how many Railbirds played seriously competitve games such as Poker, Chess, Risk, etc., at a young age?
I started playing card games & board games such as chess @ a very young age. I had to teach all my friends how to play chess growing up, i’m the champ @ that game
#10 How do you play differently in tournaments vs. cash games?
My strategy is the same
#11 What would you consider a weakness in your game/ something you need to improve?
I give people too much respect @ the tbls sometimes, i’d win a lot more pots if that wasn’t the case.
#12 What are some typical "TELLS" that a online Poker player is bluffing ?
LOL, i can’t give away too much info…it’s honestly something that you just have to learn online, you can’t be taught something like that. It’s something that you pick up @ the tbls on your own…it’s just “knowing” plain & simple.
#13 How Has Railbirds.com helped your game play?
Honestly?...I have learned that too many DONKs play this game. By knowing that, i have learned ways to avoid them in both online & live play. Too many people are playing this game now & it’s because it’s popular to do (bandwagoners) rather than something they really love to do & something they want to conquer.
#14 Most embarrassing moment in a live trny ?
Most embarrassing moment would have to be when i spilled my beer all over the poker tbl in the casino. It took them almost an hour to soak it all up & have things dry.
#15 Most recent trny win?: (non railbird trny)
Most recent tourney win would be 1st Place in a
PokerStars 10,000 man tourney
#16 Largest amount won in a trny?
$360
#17 How does your strategy help in Freerolls provided by Railbirds.com?
It helps me because i know how to be patient against all of the DONKs & be aggressive towards the bullies
#18 Any tips for Railbird members when sitting at a table with you lol ???
Don’t take offense if & when i beat you
#19 Where do you see your self in 1 year playing poker?
I see myself playing casino (live) poker more often than online
#20 What other Hobbies do you have besides playing poker ?
I’m a fan of all sports & i am a spectator quite often @ the events, i also play when i can. I love to fish, exercise, & i collect sports memorabilia
