What you like most about Absolute Poker Tournaments: The blind structure and the amount of people in them; enough for good prize pools, but not too many where there becomes too much luck involved.

Best Poker Accomplishment: Coming back from 2 big blinds to win the 10k guaranteed.

Favorite Player of all time: Dan Harrington's books gave me a good jumpstart into moulding me into a winning player, so I give a lot of respect to him.

WSOP or WPT: I haven't played any events yet, but I am planning on going to Aruba for the big tourney there.

Advice to beginning tournament players: I would advise beginning players to be patient and conservative till there reads get better. I've won plenty of tournaments playing my cards. As they advance more, then they can start to worry about making moves. No reason to bust yourself out of a tournament half way through when you have a good stack size because you try to get fancy and run into a big hand. Once you have a few tournaments under your belt, then you may want to try more advanced moves to try to improve your cash rate.

Times you have won the TLB: This last week was the first time I won TLB on AP.

Thanks again for your recognition. I plan on being a very big part of the AP family now that I am playing over here full time. I look forward to continuing to be a strong player and representing AP as well as I can.
