#1 Why did you chose your Railbird.com screen name/ what does it mean?
I chose Elzamoa because it is as unique as I am.
#2 How would you define your style of play?
I am a tight- aggressive player and that is a different animal in poker. I, of course, play more hands than the tight-passives, but choose hands according to strength and position. I will raise strong and bluff on occasion. I am very selective of the hands I pay. Most experts agree that this is the style a beginning player should aspire to.
#3 Poker Achievements?
Joining the I Eat Group.
Winning tourneys here and there. Made 2nd in a 180 cash game.
Won a few heads up games cash and play. Came in first in an fter Dark. Hoping to improve my game to win lots more in the future for myself as well as the team.
#4 What brought you to join railbirds in the first place, and what keeps u here ?
A Friend told me about it, and What keeps me on Railbirds is the opportunity to meet new and exciting people.
#5 Which pro would you like to face in a HU match and why?
Daniel Negreanu because he had great instincts and a real feel for the game. I think it would be a great experience and a lesson learned and never forgotten.
#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 play and play a lot. Poker is a hands on learning process the more you do it the more you learn and the better you get.
#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?
Poison-has a dedication to his team and to the game of poker. Hadrains Wall a solid player and all around good player. MrsMagoo devoted to helping others in charity tournaments and a great role model to the spirit of sportsmanship. Legos- For being an awesome team leader and being am all around good guy. Twinkies- always determined in anything he sets out to do, and I find that inspiring to myself as well as my poker game. Id gladly play any of these people heads up for the chance to learn from them as well as play a great game of poker.
#8 How do you play differently in tournaments vs. cash games?
Tournaments are half waiting for the all in fanatics to get out the way before you can really play. Cash games are usually tighter and more controlled from the start and more aggressive towards the end.
#9 What would you consider a weakness in your game/ something you need to improve?
To know when to lay the losing hand down.
#10 What are some typical "TELLS" that a online Poker player is bluffing ?
The answer is actually a little surprising. Since you can't actually see your opponent when playing internet poker, the only information that you have to go on is: the speed of their action (check, bet or raise), the significance of their action (big bet vs small bet) and how it compares to their past patterns.
#11 How Has Railbirds.com helped your game play?
You not only learn from your mistakes but you have the ability to learn from others as well.
