Tom McEvoy Questions and Answers

Tom,
I don't have a question at this time, but I would like to thank you for your time on this. I am sure you have helped many members in doing this.

Hi

Might as well take advantage of the availability of a true ambassador to Poker for a couple questions:

(1) Would you say your books written with TJ have held up as time as passed from their initial writings

(2) Are you happy with the way Poker has evolved from the days you were World Champ...or do you think it was better off the way it was (and/or has the internet ruined the game?)

(3) I am fairly sure you have backed at least one major winner
($1 million win I beleive) in an Live Tourny. Do you think staking or backing players is a good idea (or fun)?, and is winning money in that fashion the same to you as winning it yourself at the tables?

(Last) Do you think the buyin to the WSOP ME should be increased substantially to more accurately portray the True No Limit Champion of Poker?

Thank You

Is there anything about the WSOP that you think should be changed? for example increasing size of main event buy in, or better tv coverage of the event (watching more hands and less people acting a fool), or whatever.

they fixed the acting a fool...there is a new rule about to much celebrating is a penalty now

also if you want to see the true masters of poker watch the final table of the 50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event, thats where the real pros are!!!

I've watched you play one of those 1-Table Tourny with a Pro that players can buy in the VIP FPP Store on PokerStars. What do you think about those tournaments? Do you try your best to take down the Pokerstars VIP members? Have you ever made it heads up in one of them and just gave up so the other player could receive the bounty of $250?

AAAA nooooooooooooooooooooo wayyy

I was wondering what limits should you play on with only 700 bucks?



wow!

Thank you very much for your time.

In your opinion, what is the best way for upcoming players to break onto the tournament circuit and become professionals, for example an online entrance or build up live skills through regular playing of live cash games and tournaments, despite the extra time this is likely to take.

Just out of curiosity, how did you make your way to become a pro?

Thanks again

I've been wondering if you folks believe in watching the videos or reading the books. I want to become the best player I can be and was looking into studying. Any suggestions on how to become a better hold em player? Thank you.
