I must be mistaken then .. 'the best high-stakes pros aren't necessarily smart' (I'd be inclined to strongly disagree with that though).prepare;1824 What is ironic actually that your right said:
Prepare.. whatever works for ya. Just seemed odd to hammer OP with some of those questions/comments when as far as I'm concerned they're doing us a favour by being here (not vice-versa).

It's not quite as one-sided as you paint it, IMO. A lot of people that CC seem to be deliberately attracting to the site now are people that are great poker players and are selling something, whether it be books or coaching services or whatever. So I am very grateful to CC for tracking them down, and I listen to their advice very carefully, but am also aware that they will often have an ulterior motive.

And there is nothing wrong with that - it is mutually beneficial to them and to us.
So - let's use this thread to ask Tri questions that you guys can benefit from.

Hi Tri,
I for one am happy that youre here. I hope to learn lots from you along the way.
A non-poker (kind of ) related question. Being a refugee and coming through a difficult time at a young age, what has this taught you most about life in general and does any of this affect the way you approach poker?
Warm regards,
Cuttle Fish

After facing near death experiences, pirates, tear gas, and being hungry all the time, running a massive bluff doesn't seem to be so scary anymore.
My experiences made me realize how lucky I am to be alive and that at the end of the day, nothing is more important than your family and health.
My experiences also make me feel embarrassed when I get mad over random stuffs like my internet not working or there's traffic on the freeway. Lastly, I have a very high tolerance for taking risks. I don't have much fear for losing money. There are a few reasons for this.
1. I did my homework and know I'm taking a +EV bet.
2. It's only money and I can make money back if I lose it.
3. Lastly, I realized that money is a convenience in life. It's not a source for happiness. Happiness comes from doing things I enjoy and it turns out that creating products, opening businesses, and taking risks make me happy.
If there's something you need me to expand, let me know.

Tri, its great to have you here. I had heard about Daily Varience as well but was not yet familiar with it - so much to read and do, so little time - so at least I will be able to watch the webinar from the link above.
Most question I have are already ITT.
I am recently working on the philosophical aspect of my game. Just started Zen and the art of Poker. Tilt and emotional issues are more present in my game than I have admitted. A low stakes pro who helps me from time to time pointed this out and I realize how right he is.
"After facing near death experiences, pirates, tear gas, and being hungry all the time, running a massive bluff doesn't seem to be so scary anymore. "
^^^^ This made me smile. Perspective is so important, and although I have not been a refugee, I have been through some things in life and find that lately I am losing the perspective I once had. I am also 53 married and have children, so have many reasons to be grateful, as well as simply the fact that I am still alive. But I still take my micro problems of today and turn them into massive mountains that are seemingly impossible to climb... And this lack of perspective bleeds into my poker attitude as well. So any comments you may have on "mindset" in all aspects of poker, from on the table and off, from learning to playing to reviewing, would be deeply appreciated.
Got a new idea for my wife as far as Christmas goes now as well

For being in the right mindset, it's all about figuring out what your priority and goal is. My #1 goal is to be happy so I do everything in my power to reach that goal.
What's yours? Make sure to sit down and actually think it though. Sometimes, we think it's a new car or winning X amount of money, and that may be true for you. But it's important to figure out what is your priority and why.
Usually, the happiest moments we have is when someone DOES something for us or when we are sharing an experience with someone we like. Everything else in our lives are just added bonus.
As for getting the book as a present, that's a great idea. We are receiving tons of orders right now from female buyers haha.

Mr. Nguyen, I'm a fairly new player to poker, started playing when I was seventeen and I'll be turning twenty this friday. I'm trying to learn as much as I can by analyzing any quality material. I noticed that you have a new book out, and would love to get my hands on it. The problem is, I'm a broke college student paying my way through school. Is there any place online where I can get it at a cheaper rate? Thank you for your time, and I would greatly appreciate any help that I can get.

For cash games, I play with my own bankroll. I don't play well when other people's money on the line. I rather lose mine. And of course, it's nice to keep all the money when you win.
For big tourneys like the Main Event, I sell some percentage and change percentage with my friends. That's about it.
