14 Final Tables in 3 days! - BetcoinPoker.com Player Profile - DEPUTYDOGAfter making an impressive 14 final tables in 3 days, DeputyDog shares how you can make final tables too at BetcoinPoker.com.https://www.betcoin.ag/14-final-tables-3-days-betcoinpokercom-player-profile-deputydogBetcoinPoker.com's very own Plo8Monster had the chance to catch up with DeputyDog and ask DeputyDog the questions that can help you too be successful at BetcoinPoker.com
BetcoinPoker.com - You have a been a player at BetcoinPoker.com practically from day 1. How long have you played poker, and online poker?DeputyDog - I have played poker since I was younger and my Dad taught me to play 7 card stud and 5 card draw. I started playing online at Party Poker probably in 2006 just for recreation. I was terrible but just liked to play. I would win a little here and there but put money on the site every month or so. I didn't really begin to take the game seriously until around 2012.
BetcoinPoker.com - You have seen lots of change here at BetcoinPoker.com, what do you think of BetcoinPoker.com?DeputyDog - I love the site here at BetcoinPoker.com! I really love the fact you have joined winning network to offer a nice variety of tournaments of all sizes.
BetcoinPoker.com - You play multiple sites, how does BetcoinPoker.com stack up?DeputyDog - I do play multiple sites but the majority is on BetcoinPoker.com. I think BetcoinPoker.com offers a nice variety of tournaments and the cash games are starting to pick up. BetcoinPoker.com is by far the best when it comes to quick withdrawals.
BetcoinPoker.com - You play part time, would you consider yourself semi-pro?DeputyDog - I do work full time on nights with a 12 hour shift so I have half the month off available to play. I definitely do not consider myself semi-pro. When my bankroll gets to the point I can withdrawal a fixed amount monthly I will then consider it the best part time job ever!
BetcoinPoker.com - We notice a long string of ITM and final tables as of recent, very consistent. Would you be Willing to Share your Secret to Success and some ideas of how to consistently cash?DeputyDog - What has helped me the most is learning to balance the important things in my life. I began to put prayer first and foremost in my life and everything else has fallen into place. Balancing a full time job, exercise, family, and study time before I sit down to grind has allowed me to be able to focus more specifically on my game. I have turned to my faith more recently and pray more. I truly believe that this along with a more regular schedule to work out (usually with my son pushing me) and a good mix of family time has really focused my
game to a new level.
What has helped me consistently cash along with the new found balance in my life is professional coaching I have been receiving from Luke Haward along with consistent reviews of my hand history and also watching training videos on Floattheturn.com. I also try to study at least an hour for every session I play. Luke has really helped me take my game to the next level by reviewing my hand histories and sweating my sessions. He also offers group coaching where we discuss each others’ hands and strategies. Anyone interested can contact him at binkbig.com or
[email protected]BetcoinPoker.com - What do you do with your poker winnings?DeputyDog - A portion of what I cash out I give to our church. Occasionally I cash out a small amount for small family trip. The majority I leave alone to continue to build my bankroll for the day when this becomes a part time job.
BetcoinPoker.com - Do you play only for bitcoin? Did you play before black Friday? where?DeputyDog - I play mainly for bitcoin but not only for bitcoin. There are a few select tournaments that I play on cash sites. I did play before Black Friday and usually on Full Tilt (no I didn't get my money back ) and Poker Stars.
BetcoinPoker.com - Do you play live games?DeputyDog - I do play live occasionally but not too often.
BetcoinPoker.com - What are your favorite BetcoinPoker.com tournaments, do you have a routine?DeputyDog - The rebuy tournaments are my favorite. I usually don’t start playing until my family has gone to bed so I like the majority of the tournaments that fit my bankroll in that time frame.
BetcoinPoker.com - We notice you support the ring games we offer late at night , do you prefer mtts stts or ring play?DeputyDog - I do like to play the ring games when my tournaments are winding down or sometimes for a short session before I go to work. The advantage to ring games is if you only have an hour or two to play it is easy to quit at any point. I do like sit-n-go’s also especially when you are trying to build your bankroll from scratch. Tournaments are definitely my favorite to play.
BetcoinPoker.com - Would you be selling any of your action when we integrate staking through this forum?DeputyDog - I would definitely look to sell limited stakes in my action for two reasons. The first would be to play some tournaments that I feel I can compete in but is still out of my bankroll reach. The second reason to sell is to help mitigate the high variance of tournament poker.
BetcoinPoker.com - What is it you like best of all about Betcoin poker, is there one thing that means the most?DeputyDog - I love the Betcoin.ag community and the whole group at
www.Grindabit.com! Much friendlier than your average site and lots of people there to offer help when needed or just to rail for you.
BetcoinPoker.com - Is there anything special you would like to see at BetcoinPoker.com's future?
DeputyDog - I would love to see something similar to the cage for different levels of smaller stakes on BC. Schedule 3-5 of these a week for different buy ins (20mbt to 500mbtc?) and maybe do satellites for the larger ones.
BetcoinPoker.com - Would you recommend BetcoinPoker.com to your friends. Why?DeputyDog - I always am recommending BC to my friends and family.
BetcoinPoker.com - What advice do ya have for our players at Betcoin?DeputyDog - If I were to give advice to players on the site it would be to have balance in your life whatever that means for you and have fun while your playing !
Great interview and thank you Deputydog ... an honor to call you my friend ....
