Who is your favorite Poker Player? – I don’t really watch professional poker. I have seen Daniel Negreanu and Tony G, so Daniel Negreanu because of his wide range of hands and ability to put players on a hand, and he plays the player and he does not necessarily have the best hand all the time. Tony G, because he puts a lots of pressure on players and tests their abilities to play hands and he puts other players to the test and is agressive.
What have been your goals in the APC? – No particular goals but mainly want to go out and put everything learned to the test and see if I can continue to do well. I want to be a strong and solid player.
Advice for new players? – Be open and willing to learn and to improve your game. You can play five or six years and not learn or improve, so you need to learn and take criticism constructively. Be open and be willing to learn and talk to players and see where there is room for improvement and what works and what doesn’t work.
How did it feel to have the most wins of any player in any season? – Very accomplished. Very, very excited and relieved that I accomplished the goal I set in the beginning of the season. I learned from my mistakes and improved my game which enabled me to win tournaments.
