Paul "Pab" Foltyn: In the well

[Pab]

hey paul,
not sure if these q's have already been asked, i just spotted the thread & thought i'd better get in quick before it finishes...
what is your biggest strength as a live player?
what is your biggest weakness as a live player?
what is your biggest strength as an online player?
what is your biggest weakness as an online player?
has anybody you've sat with & played really stood out from the crowd?
many tx in advance - hopefully hook up in vegas!

hey Julian,

Not really sure what my biggest strength as a live player is, maybe my temperament but that can be applied to live and online. I don't get fazed by any table antics or speech play although I have yet to come across some1 like tony G who has a unique type of speech play.

My biggest weakness as A live player is without doubt spotting physical tells, I wouldn't have a clue where to start and don't really rely on it to any degree when im playing live. Its something I  could potentially try and develop but Im hesitant to do so as it may distract me from my own game if I'm too busy trying to spot tells all the time. Maybe I give off a lot of tells too, who knows, lol.

My biggest strength as an online player is not playing in games that are out of my bankroll/skill level. I think this has been one of the keys to my success so far and my ability to play at a fairly high level without backing or sponsorship and me in no immediate danger to go busto.

My biggest weakness as an online player is playing when I'm too tired and sometimes not stopping mid-session when im clearly playing below par or on tilt.

The best player ive played against was Erik Lindgren in the 5k 6max wsop event. He plays a different style to a lot of players, limping a lot, flat calling a lot of raises and is extremely comfortable post flop and playing down the streets. He made a big call against me in the final with 3rd pair that was good, maybe I was giving off physical tells, lol.

Catch ya for food/beer in vegas im sure

have you sorted out your wsop schedule yet? 

will you be playing any events outside of the rio? if so which ones

if i go on a mega rush can i stay on the couch of the ballas pad?

No schedule for WSOP, will play when I feel like it. The only events Ill defiantely be playing are the 5k 6 max and the main event. As for events outside the rio Ill probably play some of the $1k deep stack events at the venetian and the WPT at bellagio If i run good online over the 7 weeks.

Room for a clam on the sofa im sure, gl on the rush.

[Pab]

What are you thoughts on moving up to $100r and the nightly bigger tournies.

Any requirements you wanted before you starting playing them?

Is it a case of getting in there and taking shots @ them?

Id definitely rail some of the bigger tournaments late on first and start getting some notes on the regular players to begin with before jumping in head first. The $100r's can be very expensive if you get serial gamblers on your table and you get caught in the crossfire.

If you want to move up, you have to take shots at some time but have the mental strength to move back to your regular games if things don't work out.
