If you could crossbook vs one guy on PS who would it be?
if they are not sitting on the same tables in a 6 handed sng .... i think its perfectly fine. i think its fine from an ethical view and also its common sense to do it.
i do stake many ppl actually. u want staking or w000t?
what does "crossbook" mean?

in hindsight: i should have started playing earlier when games were softer (party poker days before i started)
but ofc that doesnt count, cuz i simply didnt knew there was this option. im very happy with all my decisions made basically. i have a pretty nitty approach to treating poker professionally. many ppl moved up faster so i kinda lost some time cuz i wanted huge br for my limits. but since i make a living out of it, i feel safer that way.
overall, it doesnt rly matter what decision we take. as long as we think through all our options at the time properly and come to a conclusion, i think we should be happy.
it would be easy to find things like "ah, going into plo 6 months earlier would have been the obvious move". but at the time of my decision, it was not. so judging now is not fair.so far im happy with my decisions made.
Just send me a message if you're coming to hungary mate

how does a typical day for TT look like?
your first post, hello sir 
its rly hard to describe a typical day. simply because there is none. i dont like to have a pre standardised day. sometimes i just play 16 hours non stop, sometimes i just party around like a monkey and drive around in my car heading to my next destination 
but if i had to describe a typical day, its usually like that:
waking up around noon, usually somewhere but not at home since im always travelling around somewhere
going out for niceeee breakfast.
afternoon either scheduled rl stuff like meeting friends, playing golf/tennis, kart racing w/e
or coaching/recording videos
followed by one shorter grinding session
going out for dinner
and then long evening/night grinding session
what i dont do is watching tv or so. whenever i dont have any rl stuff planned, i basically grind, coach or work on my future world domination plans
what did your parents/friends/gf think when u told them u wanted to go pro at poker and did they influence your desision to finish your degree? (if this is too personal u can just say so)

i started sh. but pretty fast mixed in hu and fr. i think being able to play all formats is best so u can always play the best tables available at your limit
He didn't say 'No', so you're in with a chance!
did you get coached by phil galfond? w
will you meet him in vegas?
would you play against him in plo live cg?

I guess as his civil partner i'd be entitled to free coaching right? ♦ 
one offpoker question
I'm going to university after a few months and wan't to know if the things that you've learned about buissiness there are valuable and could u implement them in rl .
Don't you think that even without that education you would do the things you do nearly as good as now .
I mean u could learn most of the stuff by experience also right ?

my gf was easy with it. it was a very slow development as she saw the action every day. no prob at all. i did tell friends/family about it after my first 3 winnings months. i just explained everything to them. ofc they didnt believe that i was able to make longterm profit. but after 6 more months and after i said during dinner that im buying a new baller powerrrr car, they started believing i think ♦
it took a while for them to fully like the idea that im poker pro, but now they see im living more of a dream life than i could ever hope for. so its all good. also i always tell them its just a short term career probably. longterm i wanna do some sick rl stuff and hopefully change the world a bit. and ofc, world domination ♠_cool:

i watched all his vids, and most many times. so in a way, my (hu) plo skill comes a bit from phil, yeah
i hope i will see him in vegas. if i get the chance, i will try to ask him for a date 
would like to tell him what a rockstar he is for some of us and how poker in europe is evolving.
he is probably not playing lower than 50/100 live in vegas. but i might play him in the 10k plo event. im sure he is playing that one. hu vs phil in plo event would be niceeee

what does "crossbook" mean?
1) Cool
2) Ha, maybe for somethings
3) Crossbook is where you bet whatever you win vs whatever somebody else wins. So if we both play the Sunday Million and crossbook, if I win $2400 you pay me $2400, you can also do 20% crossbook, where you'd pay me 20%, I usually do 1-5% crossbook for the sick sweat

can i answer with a question? its rly super tough for me to give an answer here ...
do u think learning to read and calculate (in elementary school) is prerequesite to becoming an entrepreneur/manager?
the skills developed in elementary school are def necessary. u also need basic accounting knowledge for any sort of business. u just need to be able to calculate cash flow or be able to read a balance sheet. however, i dont think u necessarily have to study. learning on the job def gives u more practical knowledge.
like, i had a good education in international accounting. esp IFRS/IAS, a little bit of US-GAAP. but oh man, i have no fucking idea what to do if u give me a job in the controlling department of an international company. my knoweldge in this area is just not practical enough. so i def need to learn how to apply it.
overall i think it helps a lot. it helps to be able to learn A LOT. i mean rly a lot. if u never studied, it might be hard to learn two 400 pages books by heart. u also learn how to learn and how to find necessary information. u get contacts (not only in internships, also with profs and colleagues) and last but not least, u get a degree which publicly shows that u have at least some kind of knowledge in that area.
i never thought about quitting uni. finishing was crucial for me personally. but i dont think AT ALL that having a uni degree says anything about somebody. it just shows u were able to re-produce some knowledge from books and sometimes apply it in small projects. but if u are a true business pro can only be shown in the real business world.
i hope i could answer your question at least a bit. im myself a bit unsure overall. im a bit hater of ppl who say "u need to get a degree". but i also dont quite agree that uni is all bad. i think i personally perform better in the real business world than in the play world university.
but time will tell i guess ... maybe i bust my millions with some strip clubs ....

i only played it hu so far. great game i think it has potential, but not as much as plo imo. i def like it more than razz
i like it more than flhe hu and my relative edge is bigger. but im still not the ultimate pro ♦
but i got good coaches
