Interview Questions: DCal Zone

[IowaSkinsFan]

This week im going to interview DCal Zone. While he has agreed to the interview, i only know a little bit about him. He is known for being able to play massive amounts of tables of cash games. He recently got Super Nova Elite on Poker Stars. He's mostly a midstakes grinder, anywhere from 2/4 to 5/10. Very good player.

Here is a place you can put questions, as i find out more details i'll post them here.

Anything about his recent 16k hands session and only taking one 5 minute break. He 16-20 tabled 6-max at Stars. Pretty sick.

Edit: just saw he actually did a 20k hands session like 4 days before the 16k one. Anything about these sessions is good with me.

This question might get laughed at but....

I'd be interested to know if he has anything in his diet he uses to keep concentration or whatever for so long.

[flomo]

what skills(systems, techniques or equipment) other than poker skills does one need to 16-20 table

i just don't understand how one can keep up with double digit amounts of tables

others can answer this

How long did it take to develop the skills to think as quickly as you do?

How strong is your autopilot game? (Or are you able to consciously go through every hand where you see a flop for long periods of time?)

Any tips for developing mental stamina and making sure you don't get burnt out?

How does playing a huge number of hands per week affect your variance? Do you get losing months?


ISF, feel free to edit/merge/do wtf you like with these questions, you get the jist of them.

yeah he used to play like 12-16 tables at a time a few years ago when he played sngs. we played a ton of 60s and 144s together. The guy can grind.

[Numbr2intheWorld]

His opinions on the differences between 2/4, 3/6, and 5/10?

Does he expect to win longterm over 1BB/100 20 tabling?
