Hello Jeff, my biggest difficulty at the moment is the tournament bubble, I'm afraid to pay allin with AKs, AQ, 88, 99, TT. I think this is hurting me because I end up losing the opportunity to double my stacks, I know there will be situations where we will drop the tournament because there is the variance and we must respect it, rather be afraid to play with certain cards in the bubble by Fear of falling is undoubtedly harming me. Would you like to know if I should risk more or if I should hold on with the intention of arriving at ITM?

Hey Jeff!
How do you prepare for a grind session? Do you have some sort of ritual/ things you'd do before you hit the tables?
Also what do you do on breaks?
Also what do you do to work/improve your mental game? Specially for grinding long hours
And how much do you study in comparison to how much you play? And can you explain a bit of what you study mainly..
ex - hand analysis, theory, learning vids etc

Welcome to CC!!

I watched you on twich when you lost with flush, other had fullhouse.When i see 2 pairs i thinked on fullhose.
You bet on river, almost allin. Do you act always that, because you play before him or you sometimes fold if you think that he had fullhose?

Good day! Poker is not standing still and is constantly evolving, I have a question. How much time do you spend the improvement of the game and how you do it (book, video or something else) ???
Thanks for the response and successful WSOOP

Hey! No I understand perfectly. I started at UofM Soccer camp someone brought chips and we started playing then put $50 online a few times... rest history! Teachers were just my friends who were playing too. Originally learned the most from Mclean Karr, Matt Waxman, Tim Begley, Charles Hook and then its progressed to lot of players now! All the best and my website you can see my BIO: JeffGrossPoker.com/bio

So I have a bunch of questions for you:

Does Michael Phelps have fins? But seriously do you have any fun Michael Phelps story you can share with us.

I am a big Jueve fan, who do you like to win Champions League this year?

Once wcoop is over do you plan playing any games with CC community?

How you started off playing Poker or what drew you to becoming a Poker Pro?

What are your opinions (if any) on online poker being rigged?

Finally and most importantly do you like pineapple on pizza?

Hi Master. I make open raise 3xbb from late position. The big blind player is doing min-re-raise. What does this re-raise mean most often?

Hey Jeff , Do you think online poker is lost to the Casino Corporates and an ever increasing profit driven reality hence the slow demise of the game.

Hey Jeff have you ever gone bust and lost your bankroll? How would you approach building it back up, or what mentality would you have to rebuild your bravado for poker?

Hi Jeff.. Have you ever done a bankroll challenge to see how you would do handling building up from micro-stakes? and what is the best way you can suggest to do so if did or were going to?

Thanx for your time!

Ups and Downs

Hello Jeff,
Thanks for being with us on CardsChat.


In terms of managing win/loss swings, how often do you see them?
Does it change your approach?
Do you have a strict bankroll management principle? Like, do you limit buy-in's as a percentage of your bankroll?

Enjoying your twitch feed from Nassau Jeff! It helps to see that a Pro like yourself catches some crazy bad luck (KK v 88) every once in while too. GL with the rest of your day.

Everyone please bear with Jeff - he is super busy playing in the WCOOP and streaming in Twitch - I have no idea how he juggles all that he does.

But he will stop by as often as he can. :)
