Chris Moorman: in the well

[Moorman1]

Whats your strategy on MTTs rebuys. Do you go rebuy crazy to try an accumulate a good stack in the 1st hour?

LOL i might be the biggest rebuy nit behind Pearljammer. The value on rebuys imo is that people cant handle deeper stacks and donk off their chips to you. Even if I have the minimum stack after the addon period (so 5k on stars) I still feel confident that I can do well in the tourney. However, if i was in for 10 buyins this would be a different matter and I'd probably start looking at the payouts to see that I had to final table to make a profit and then as a result play really bad and tilt off.

[Moorman1]

1) How the fk do u step it up to start pwning $50r and $100r going from $20r's and $75-100fo's.  I suck @ making this step.  Is it just rolling urself hard enough for it, or are there any specific changes.  What roll would u want before playing $50r's and $100r's respectively?

2) Are you actually a Moomin?

3) I am now a sick ass tilt shover, im pretty sure its ur fault aswell.  But i really enjoy doing it, u cant actually beat shoving for no reason with 94o utg+1 with 30bb's. ducy?

1. You just have to play with no fear still. The big difference is that there are a huge amount of regulars in these tourneys and you have to know their game more than they know yours. Therefore you have to mix up your lines with certain hands and stack sizes welll to keep them guessing. A lot of 'good' regulars still have big leaks that you can definetly exploit.

2. LoL at junior school one of my friends used to call me Moomin PAPA so I guess I am

3. Oh yeah its sick. The real beauty of it is that you have nothing to lose. If you don't suckout then you happily go and do something else. If you do you can play properly and have a big stack and a good shot at the serious money.  You also get the whole table giving you shit in the chatbox which you obviously have to reply back to which takes most of your time leading to you coming off tilt and taking down the tourney... SIMPLE

[Moorman1]

Can you offer some advice on handling that awkward stack size in the mid stages of donkaments, you know the 12.5-22ish BB stack. Re-steal ftw?

Are the mid-high stakes donkaments on sites other than stars and tilt really that much softer?

As most people know I'm a huge fan of the overshove. Nearer 20bbs you want to be reshoving more than opening, and nearer 10 bbs its basically fold or all in.  Don't overshove weak offsuit aces too much though as they suck when your called. Shoving 12 bb's from the cutoff with 67 sooted though I think is fine. Also plz dont shove your bad hands and just raise your good hands..... oh and NEVER LIMP ACES (blind on blind its ok ). Basically sooted stuff is the nuts though that extra 3% really makes a difference!!

[Moorman1]

Why do you waddle when you bowl?

So I can build up the power for my strike obviously.... duh!

Or maybe its because I've had a few too many white russians

What time do you get up / go to bed

Do you have good blinds in your room

What do you think of chad batista, he scares me a little

Are you going to bb6, if so will you play me hup, ill give you odds

I've been going to bed at 8am lately.... And I know it really isn't clever. As far as getting up 4-5 pm sounds good. I have to make sure that I don't miss neighbours!

No my blinds really suck. Been meaning to get new curtains for 6 months but I'm a lazy fucker obviously lol. Often I end up sleeping on the sofa instead.

Chad is a crazy player. I've never met him in real life but I've heard that he's actually a well alright guy. I've owned him a few times in big tourneys too which is always nice and always makes me like a person more!

When is it? I'm really going to try and make it this time...(but what I say and do are normally two different things!)

[Moorman1]

1). Is This you? (see picture below)
2). HU Tennis Match for Rollz?
3). Are you jealous that i have a date with Annette_15 and you dont?
4). What car do you have?
5). Why are there no black Moomins? Racialist imo.

1. I'm not sure how to attach the picture to this but yeah I like it. My belly is probably about that big at the moment.... If only I could make it to the gym for the first time (even though I signed up 2 months ago!)

2. I'm actually alright at tennis. if I was allowed a training period to get my fitness up I could be up for this! (your probably some ex uk n1 junior or something lol)

3. Ah but have you spoken to her in real life and have her on msn?

4. LOL I STILL CAN'T DRIVE

5. I dunno how to answer this one lol

What looks prettier,   ,   , or   ?


Where and what levels did you start out at and how did u become so unbabbaballa?

Is this your house?

Wow they all look pretty good. Would definetly have to be number 2 or 3. 46 Clubs used to be my favourite hand but now after using the 4 colour deck for ages Diamonds are definetly better and 57 diamonds is my new fav hand so on that logic I will go for number 3. God that was long winded!

Hey I'm not that unballa I only live in a flat and don't drive and sleep on the sofa more than my bed. I started right from the bottom... none of this deposit $50 shit. I should be so lucky!

Btw that is my 2nd dream house.... I'm sorry but the pink one owns its soul.

[Moorman1]

Some interesting answers Chris.

What do you reckon you will be doing in 10 years time? I am just curious how young & successful players see their future. 

Good Luck & Thanks.

wow I've no idea really. Maybe I'd look to get involved in more of the business side of poker such as backing players in live events etc. Or maybe something away from poker altogether. I still see myself playing poker for fun on the side if I got involved in something else. 10 years is a long time who knows. Just over 10yrs ago I passed the 11+ ..... just thought I'd throw that one in

[Colchester Kev]

The Colchester magic roundabout.............whats that all about ?

I can answer that one ... Chris and I used to live right near it ... its like one big roundabout, surrounded by 5 small ones ... its a case of shut your eyes and drive... when they first built it, people would go and stand there for hours watching cars crash, seriously it was that bad.

But as moomin is a lazy sod and hasnt learnt to drive yet, he only ever goes over it on a bus (too tight to pay for cabs).

[kinboshi]

I have one more question.

What was it like to live under the shadow of Kev?
