- What are your plans for the last 3 months of the year?

- Do you live poker 24/7? When you have non-poker moments (if any) what do you prefer to do? any hobbies?

1) Stars, Stars, and Stars.

2) KQ<J9 vs Jaka on T93JJ for 2.6 million at 8/16k with 20 left near the money bubble of the WPT Bellagio $25k Championship that David Williams won for $1.4 million. All I could think about was doing my best to grind my 15BB into the money and back up to make the FT. I had no time to think about it or let it tilt me. After I busted ITM in 17th after losing a flip to Williams I was def left wondering if spending so much of my life chasing the dream of winning one of these big live events was worth it when you can turn the nuts for all the chips vs the other chip leader and lose. I've found a nice balance in between now where I make sure I make enough and still have my shots at the really big ones. The game is tougher than ever, you can't just expect to print all your $ at the highest stakes anymore.

3) Bunch of time at home in Vegas with my fiancé while I play some live PLO and get back in shape by playing bball and hockey, some online sessions from Mexico, the WSOPC Harrah's in AC in early December, Christmas with her fam in FL, then a trip to CO to learn to ski/snowboard and visit friends through new year til I go to PCA.

4) I def don't live poker 24/7 like I did when I first got into it and was COMPLETELY addicted. I play hockey and go to a lot of Rangers games. I'm actually going to their first 4 games of the season which are ALL on the road and ALL in different places. I love boating and jet skiing. I do a decent amount of shooting trap shooting (think Duck Hunt with real shotguns and no asshole dog to taunt you when you miss the target). I'm also a roller coaster fanatic.
