Who/what has influenced your play the most? I spend an average of a couple hours a day reading strategy forums and hand histories trying to better my game. There are many different sucessfull approaches to playing MTT’s. Although I stick to a style I’m most comfortable with, Im always looking for areas I may be weak in to improve on. Im very competitive and that helps in my desire to be constantly learning.
What advice do you have for people wanting to make the jump from live to online play?
Read. The Internet is like a new book that is published every second. Take advantage of it, and use it to improve your game.
Have confidence. Find an approach and have confidencce in it and yourself. Losing streaks, bad beats, bubbling tournaments, variance will all test this. Some of the best advice I ever got was that poker is all about confidence.
