im from the uk but wanted to go the states and travel around playing. how long am i allowed to stay in the country? can i stay for that period, leave for a week, come back and do it again?

if any1 knows. cheers

Move down the stakes
Play less
Study more

They would be my three tips yet I do not follow any of the above advice!

P.s welcome to blonde.

Thanks. I don't need to study more, I know everything about poker That's what I feel on a certain level, but I've probably read way too little. Never did the whole online training thing.
My bad game gets louder when the BI is insignificant to me, I have trouble overcoming this.
Thanks for the welcome.

I see where you're coming from (you've have some successes in the game and think you have found the level you SHOULD be playing at) but it would seem from your posts you know nothing about poker.

That's not meant to sound arrogant, I know nothing either.

Just to elaborate on what others have recommended, you have to go back to basics. But you might not know what that exactly means. Think about the game in this way. It's a game of strategy, and it's a game of deception. You sit at a HU table (or 6max), you have to know how to win the game. You have to know the reasons why you should win the game, and your opponent SHOULD lose (bearing in mind the luck element of the game). Break down every hand, every opportunity for you to take an action. You have to consider, how is this move helping you win the game? If you don't know, there is a chance that if your opponent is skilled, this mistake is giving him the opportunity to deceive you, to make mistakes, and to tin the game.

Therefore you need to learn (and it would seem you can't do this whilst playing. So you have to study).

have just listened, good stuff.

thanks for the podcast. thanks to alan boston for being able to talk non-stop for 75 mins

Nice 1 geez.

Get some more PLO cash specialists every week for the next year please

Thank you, thats what I was asking for.

I wanted to try to work out how long Sam had been playing for. If he had played at the gutshot (>6 years ago), then it'd would've been a long time.

I know, it would've been easier to ask him in the well. But i forgot.

I'm asking a q.

When did the gutshot club close?

And the related q: When did Sam final table the FTOPS?

And I suppose after re-reading dreenie's original comment. This q is either aimed at dreenie or somebody slightly more intelligent (as dreenie claims that Sam was on the big screen at the gutty when it was still open. He can't remember whether it was before or after the club had closed Well, if it was after, then it was somewhere else wasnt it? Yet this was only ~6 years ago.  If you can't remember the incident from that shorter time period AND you're a winning poker player, there's hope for all of us)

^^^ So when did the gutty close then? (I should've asked Sam a timeline of his career. Am personally trying to make some plans for me in this game and it's taking a lot longer than I had hoped. If Sam has been playing for years, it makes me feel a bit better as to why I can't make a quick buck out of this game. And not return her phone calls )

^^^ Idk, you'll be pretty surprised at the quality of discussion for NL cash on there these days.

(Tho mixed games and PLO, you're best of going elsewhere)

Cheers 4 doing the weill. Best of luck Sam. And remember (and this is the sole reason why I lurk on blondepoker) the cream ALWAYS rises!

hey sam (i lost my old account but am a long time lurker)

yeah to follow up, a post above. where do you stand on tax? like, i'm not a video maker yet or a winning player. but hope to be. i live in the uk, but have no idea about financial stuff like that. are you self-employed? do you only pay tax on runitonce vids? if you coach (how much btw?), do you have to pay tax on that? do you have an accountant who handles all this while you get on with the tweeting?

another q: any innovative vids lined up for a rio series? i suppose you're a bit constrained due to the structure of mtt's (although that maybe an incorrect assumption in addition to this), as well as there being a more wide variety of potentially winning playing styles in cash games than mtt's.

cheers 4 doing the well bro

hey guys (old account lost but my interests still remain)

wsop almost over.
i) no cashes
ii) no v-blogs
iii) no interviews

it would appear the cream no longer rises
