moorman1 Wins 24th PocketFives Triple Crown

[RED-DOG]

Have you ever cheated?
Would you agree to answer the above question on a polygraph?

My apologies if I'm missing something here, but that seems like a very rude question to me Mr Vanwinkle.

How often do you play well online? Do you just feel like you always make the odd mistake or do you have stretches of a few days/weeks where you play really well or poor?

Do you still stake?  What aspects of staking do you think you have got right and wrong in the past?

[MTT DESTROYER]

Who advised you to write a poker book, or did you think it was a good idea yourself?

Do you still stake?  What aspects of staking do you think you have got right and wrong in the past?

that could be a book all on its own!

[Chompy]

Will you actually answer these questions?

[TightEnd]

Will you actually answer these questions?

the original aim when i started the thread was that when i interviewed chris about the book, i would pick the best..ask and then write up the answers

chris has come on and said he will answer on here since, so in due course i hope he will. if not i will ask him once the book PR is arranged and we have some copies etc etc

no dramas :-)

People probably underestimate how exhausting Sundays are,
Let him sleep lol

How do you manage to keep a decent body clock if multiple nights of the week you're up until 3-4am?

Chris Moorman ‏@Moorman1

After a 7 week hiatus from online poker due to the WSOP I managed to ship my 21st triple crown last night! #goodtobeback #catchmeifyoucan

[Moorman1]

The book is on track for publication in November. It's 90% delivered and will go to print in a few weeks.

As part of the publishing Moorman will be doing interviews etc

When I get my turn, what should I ask him?

Would you really give away your secrets to your opponents Mr Moorman?

I wouldn't call it secrets as such it is more my views and opinions on a huge variety of spots that can come up in poker based on the co authors recent playing experiences. I try to go into a lot of detail about the different options you have available to you when playing a poker hand and also show how stack sizes and your opponents tendencies alter what the best line to take is.

[Moorman1]

Did you actually make money staking people?  If so, was it worth all the effort/worry/potential grims etc?

If I had quit staking after Dempsey won the Five Diamond WPT or Mohsin won the EPT Grand Final or Ryan Welch won the 5k WSOP event I would have been up a lot. Unfortunately it is not as easy as that as you have to reinvest your profits into the stable to try and get people who you believe in out of makeup. Eventually my luck ran out in staking after a terrible SCOOP and WSOP in 2012 and I decided to give it up completely. I have no regrets about backing though and through it I was able to make some long lasting friendships with people from across the world. When I look back on it now I feel like it was a lot of hard work and didn't allow me to diversify my life outside of poker as much as I would have liked. It was also hugely disappointing to get screwed over by a number of horses post Black Friday who I had helped out in the past. Backing is not something I would recommend people to get into but I had so much fun doing it and riding the emotional roller-coaster. I am way too old for it now though!

[Moorman1]

Do you think in a few years time you will utter the same words as Doyle brunson ??

I wish I'd never written that damn book !!

It's clever thinking really IMO with the popularity of the game it's going to sell big time esp for Xmas
Be as good as winning the Sunday million x5

haha I hope so! because then it will have sold well

Top five MTT regs that are toughest to play against.


Has Trigg "peaked" or will he continue to be ranked as one of the best online grinders for the foreseeable future.

I'm just going to pick people who play a lot at the moment because a bunch of superheroes don't grind anymore. A quick scout of the pocket rankings list and I picked out in no particular order (stars names)

Honorable mentions to Brammer Middy and Trigg who know my game really well and all like to battle hard

Trigg has not peaked yet he is due a HUGE score more than anyone I know. I looked at his OPR for 2014 and he won for 6 straight months on Stars at the start of this year including SEVEN 100r wins!
