hello!) tell me how to improve your level of the game you need to read books or watch YouTube or frequent practice

Hi Fox,

I was recently discussing with a poker buddy about if it's easier to earn money in MTTs or cash games - assuming you have the same knowledge of both.

What's your point of view on that?

Personally I suck at cash games so much, that's why my view is highly biased, lol.

Hello, Chris. 🙂
Until you answered my previous question, I thought that in addition to it, I would like to know not only what poker tools, in your opinion, should be in the arsenal of any poker player, but also what poker tools do you use?

 

[kley126]

How many variables does poker play which is your favorite and why?

 

[Kinalha]

Hi Mr Fox,

Do you believe that one day nl holdem can be overtaken by something like omaha as the most popular mode in the game?

 

[nasty bent gorilla]

Can you profitably defend your small blind, with flat calls to raises, in Multi-table NL Holdem tournaments. What key factors should be considered? Should relatively inexperienced players avoid this play?

Hey CardsChat! I've just joined the team to write news and strategy articles and take photos at big events. I thought I would celebrate by doing an AMA here on the forums.

I have been playing poker professionally for almost twenty years, have written two books on the subject, worked for numerous training sites, and coached hundreds of students. I also won the WSOP $10k HORSE in 2014 for over half a million dollars and have made two deep runs in the WSOP main event.

If you have questions about poker strategy, life as a pro, bankroll management, mixed games, tournaments, photography, writing, guitars, or the best places to eat in Vegas, I'm here to help.

My new book, Short Stack Ninja, was an Amazon Best Seller in it's first month and continues to get great reviews.

Hi Chris, Can you tell us what article, book we can read to play tournaments? Thanks for your advice.

Hi Chris!
Which hotel can check into in Vegas? Inexpensive and good

 

[mattiebumpo]

Hi Chris, Someone posted on Twitter something called "coaching for profit". Have you ever heard of this? Do you think it is something that could be worthwhile for a player who wants to improve their game?

 

[Zavra]

Congratulations on joining the team and your achievements in the poker world. Your AMA sounds exciting! Here's a question for you:

Can you share some insights from your book, Short Stack Ninja, that have been particularly well-received by readers and have helped improve their poker game?

Chris a big hello!

Create a project thread to start from scratch with the pokerstars satellite freerolls, any tips for these games? Something that will help my personal project and the community.

What is the best recommendation you would give to a beginner player?

 

[ScooperNova]

I'd like an analysis of this MTT hand. This tourney had 1371 entrants, but it only paid 10 spots. 1st-$150, 2nd-$100, 3rd-$75, 4th-10th $25. This was at the final table. What do you think of my call? This was a proper ICM call right?

Chris, hello again. 🙂
Could you provide a complete list of books (publications) of which you are the author?

 

[ADRI7HO]

Hi Chris!
HORSE is one of my favorite types of games.
How did it feel to win the 2014 wsop $10,000 HORSE championship?
This is the pinnacle of HORSE for me!

 

[mattiebumpo]

Hi Chris, I see a lot of recreational players putting together staking packages and many of them charge markup. What do you think about the prospect of staking non-professional players who charge markup? For some reason, it kind of bugs me and I don't usually invest if markup is being charged.

Hello Chris!!! It's a pleasure to ask you... What tournament tables do you feel most relaxed at? Table of 6 or 9?

Aside from poker, what other hobbies do you have?

[ammje]

Hi Cris, how do you deal with a bad streak? Do you stop playing and focus more on studying?

 

[nasty bent gorilla]

What advice do you have for players who are transitioning from online poker to live tournaments for the first time?

 

[GARCIA PABLO DANIEL]

Hello Chris!! Do you currently play poker for many hours or since you are a professional have you adapted your schedules according to your life standards?
