Hi Alex, great video!

What stack sizes are we talking here, is the BB defending off of 5-7bb?

Currently have a Lenovo Yoga 510. Have had some issues with it thus far(motherboard failure)and find it's just not powerful enough to run poker sites properly-Sound lags on stars and party and the action is very sluggish on 888. Do you know anything about Gaming laptops?

Is there much difference between and basic and pro from your experience?

Do you mind me asking who you are staked by or if you know any staking firms with good reviews/references?

Thanks for the reply man. By my arrogance I meant I thought I was better than I was (in my own head). It's not like I was berating other players or laughing at them when I beat them. I have my chat turned off. Thank you for the feedback though, I appreciate it. Poker is a very humbling game! :)

Have you been staked yourself?Read an article on upswingpoker about how staking seems great but make up can become almost unrecoverable in some cases.

Hey man thanks for the reply!

1)Yes! It took me about 5months to realize it might not be luck anymore, but thankfully I copped on!

2)I tend to have my chat turned off, in general I find people online to be quite negative/hostile, but ya I will give it a try!

3)Sorry, I may have wrote that wrong. Naturally I got into poker because I loved the game. What I meant by 'the money' was that at the time I could make more playing poker than I could from my degree job. I am really not sure if this is the case anymore. I play poker full-time by the way, it has always been my sole source of income.

4)As far as getting back....I am just not sure what route I should take right now. I have always felt 50% of my profit was far too much to be giving away. It's sort of a last ditch attempt to reach the heights I always wanted to get to. Perhaps I am being greedy and should be just happy with how I am doing, I really don't know.

What games do you play yourself?I appreciate you taking the time to reply man!

Hey man, recently had to do this.

I said I work for an IT company and got my mate to write me a letter pretending to be my boss confirming that I work there.
They wanted my work contract and bank statements which naturally I could not provide.
I told them it was illegal to provide such docs in a foreign country.
If you have time, just lodge money into your bank acc each month and type some company name on it, should do the trick.
I ended up having to pay 4 months rent up front as a deposit to put their minds at ease.

Invest in pio solver/flopzilla. Write down the hands live that you want to look at. Reviewing HH is just getting other people's opinions, not the answer. GL

Does Tiger poker get good traffic? What are the mtts schedule and sngs like?

Ordinarily I am never ripping here it's just because the situation is so sick ICM wise.
I prefer flatting to induce one of the blinds rather than 3b'ing, you really don't want to 3b call and 3b folding AK off this stack is horrible too.

Not sure if I can go with Dell again, 2 laptops in a row that have broken down repeatedly. Just looking up the razor blade, not outrageous for $1399...(payed almost 1500 euro for alienware 2.5years ago) it's a tempting option....do you play much online?

You mentioned that other laptops have the similar power for much less, could you name 1 or 2 for me please? Much appreciate your feedback here mate.

I move around often wouldn't be convenient atm..

Heres the thing, alienware is dell and my laptop befire that was dell too, another brick of shit. What you play on yourself? Know anything about Asus ones.?

I would probably just rip.

Balls to make a comeback in the current climate, I salute you!

Feel free to message me if you want to run any tricky hands by me or any poker related question really. (MTT)

HI Mark, I have been playing poker professionally for almost 4 years now, all online. If you have any questions you would like to run by me regarding the game feel free to message me, happy to help out pal.

You should read Doug Polk's article on being backed before you consider such a commitment. You can find it on upswing twitter page.

Stars current rakeback scheme is more or less gone. Party and 888 are strong sites at the moment. Don't be fooled about the player pool however. There are lots of strong regs on these sites (fish there too ofc)
Stars will always have the the weakest fields simply due to the size of the player pool but you also need to be 5x luckier to win one the these fields.

Depends what level you are on, beginner, intermediate?
Any of J.Little's books on low stakes mtts are good for beginners, give you a strong basis for learning the basics.
Best book I have read for advanced poker players is Chris Moorman's books.

Hope this helps.

PM me mate if you want to ask me about any poker terms, more than happy to help!

Looks solid but you should be aiming to make 20% roi on whatever sngs your playing ,it's doable. Personally I think 18mans are a waste of time. Especially with the new rake back thing. 9man min cash is $24, 18man min cash is the same but your going through 14 more players. Maybe that's a closed minded way of looking at it but it's how I see it.

Why not just move to tournaments?

Hey guys, sorry for not replying earlier, god this new rake back this is absolutely shit :(
