Chris 'Fox' Wallace (Poker Pro, Coach and Author) - Ask Me Anything!

[FRANCODAMI]

Hi, if you don't mind, could you give me some advice on how to take care of my bankroll as a professional player, since that's what I dream of.

 

[mattiebumpo]

Hi Chris, there is a lot of talk about players studying with solvers. This seems so dry to me that it kind of sucks the joy out of the game. Is it possible for players to be successful without understanding poker at this high level?

Hello. What style of play do you recommend in freerolls, such as Cardshat freerolls, when the pace is slow and the game pool is relatively small (about 300 people). Should I play more tight or should I be more aggressive?

-Question:

What is the most important preflop concept a beginner should master? 3betting strategy, defending the blinds, preflop range, etc? I'm talking about cash games.

I want to win a million dollars.
I've been playing poker for more than 20 years, but I can't win a million dollars in any way. What should I do

 

[GARCIA PABLO DANIEL]

hello!! It's a pleasure to ask you about your experiences in poker...also in your 20s, how did you cope with the game and your life!! If socially it cost you acceptance, it is any area. And if at this stage of your life, would you go back 20 years and choose the same path? thanks a cordial greeting.

Hi Chris,

My question to you is;

As a coach, what would you say is the most crucial skill to learn and how does it differ between live and online play?

Thanks ✌🏼

Hello Chris. 🙂
I've read a lot about you and I really got interested: You introduce yourself as a professional poker player, book author and coach, but who is Chris Fox Wallace today? I mean, how do you position yourself today - as a player, author or coach (Who do you consider yourself more)?

 

[sumdumguy]

I'm going to play a tournament in a casino for the first time, I've played online for years and with friends meeting very little, any advice against sharks? (which I know there will be a lot of them, they are 100 players and possibly experts).

How do you coach players to analyse their play, identify any leaks in their game, and develop strategies for improvement?

 

[sumdumguy]

Regards Chris;
How effective is your stack when it comes to making a push or call at a cash table? I know it has to do with the rank of your preflod hand, but in postflod I always lose in the showdown. Can you give me some guidance?

Hello Chris. Do you believe that in the future, the American online poker market can return to the global scene? Or will we never again have the possibility to see American players playing regularly without vpns and other illegal methods, on the core platform of pokerstars or ggpoker?

 

[bermejoga]

Hello Chris. In your opinion what is the best way to keep your mind stable during a really long MTT?

 

[DarkFore5t]

Could you share an example of a particularly challenging decision you've had to make at the poker table? How did you analyze the situation, and what factors influenced your final choice?

 

[joesta]

Hey there, congratulations on joining the team and thank you for offering to do an AMA! It's great to have someone with your extensive experience and achievements at Cardschat helping make us better!

Hi Chris, how are you?

I would like to ask you a question about strategy in an MTT.

I'm telling you, the start of the MTT and even the bubble because of my way of playing is not too much of a problem for me. I generally play Bountys, KOs and DeepStacks in all forms. I'm already talking about Holdem.

But in general it happens to me very often, that in the 1st hour of the MTT I feel very comfortable in main positions, let's say from 5th to 20th.

But as the MTT runs many times I can't find a way to keep that place.

I usually land in the middle of the bubble zone, which always makes me happy because the ITM will almost certainly collect it, and once the bubble has passed, unless there is a very important hand in question and it rises again. It is very difficult for me to stay in the middle of the table of players and up.

The question....is this normal??? Or is it my strategy error????

I would appreciate the answer.

A hug...Carlos from argentina
