Hello Jeff, my biggest difficulty at the moment is the tournament bubble, I'm afraid to pay allin with AKs, AQ, 88, 99, TT. I think this is hurting me because I end up losing the opportunity to double my stacks, I know there will be situations where we will drop the tournament because there is the variance and we must respect it, rather be afraid to play with certain cards in the bubble by Fear of falling is undoubtedly harming me. Would you like to know if I should risk more or if I should hold on with the intention of arriving at ITM?
My name is Washington, nickname: wsbar. It is an honor to learn from you.

Hey Jeff!
How do you prepare for a grind session? Do you have some sort of ritual/ things you'd do before you hit the tables?
Also what do you do on breaks?
Also what do you do to work/improve your mental game? Specially for grinding long hours
And how much do you study in comparison to how much you play? And can you explain a bit of what you study mainly..
ex - hand analysis, theory, learning vids etc

Welcome to CC!!

 

[Alucard]

And also how much do you sleep per day? Specially during a big series like wcoop

 

[kapobar]

I watched you on twich when you lost with flush, other had fullhouse.When i see 2 pairs i thinked on fullhose.
You bet on river, almost allin. Do you act always that, because you play before him or you sometimes fold if you think that he had fullhose?

Hey Jeff!How did you start your poker career? Who were your teachers and what did you learn from each of them?

 

[Jeff Gross]

Hey Jeff!How did you start your poker career? Who were your teachers and what did you learn from each of them?

Hey! No I understand perfectly. I started at UofM Soccer camp someone brought chips and we started playing then put $50 online a few times... rest history! Teachers were just my friends who were playing too. Originally learned the most from Mclean Karr, Matt Waxman, Tim Begley, Charles Hook and then its progressed to lot of players now! All the best and my website you can see my BIO: JeffGrossPoker.com/bio

So I have a bunch of questions for you:

Does Michael Phelps have fins? But seriously do you have any fun Michael Phelps story you can share with us.

I am a big Jueve fan, who do you like to win Champions League this year?

Once wcoop is over do you plan playing any games with CC community?

How you started off playing Poker or what drew you to becoming a Poker Pro?

What are your opinions (if any) on online poker being rigged?

Finally and most importantly do you like pineapple on pizza?

 

[Dzob]

Hi Master. I make open raise 3xbb from late position. The big blind player is doing min-re-raise. What does this re-raise mean most often?

 

[22meandu]

Hey Jeff , Do you think online poker is lost to the Casino Corporates and an ever increasing profit driven reality hence the slow demise of the game.

 

[hern2222]

Hey Jeff have you ever gone bust and lost your bankroll? How would you approach building it back up, or what mentality would you have to rebuild your bravado for poker?

 

[Kertooie]

may i ask whats the best range of $ to have for a micro-low stake tourney bankroll?

 

[UnderTokerr]

Hi Jeff.. Have you ever done a bankroll challenge to see how you would do handling building up from micro-stakes? and what is the best way you can suggest to do so if did or were going to?

Thanx for your time!

 

[miamia]

Hi Jeff. Somewhere I've been reading that you're playing soccer. Are you playing than professional or amateur? What is harder ,playing soccer or poker ? Are you a fan of a some club from Europe?

 

[Jeff Gross]

Hi Jeff

Ups and Downs

Hello Jeff,
Thanks for being with us on CardsChat.


In terms of managing win/loss swings, how often do you see them?
Does it change your approach?
Do you have a strict bankroll management principle? Like, do you limit buy-in's as a percentage of your bankroll?

 

[pepsilv]

Hi Jeff, What do you recomend on the downswing at poker???

 

[monstr999999]

Hi Jeff... good luck in the game all the time..)))
the question: what words of spells do you say during the game, what would you be given the right map..?)))
or you just believe in luck?...))))

[MattRyder]

Enjoying your twitch feed from Nassau Jeff! It helps to see that a Pro like yourself catches some crazy bad luck (KK v 88) every once in while too. GL with the rest of your day.

Everyone please bear with Jeff - he is super busy playing in the WCOOP and streaming in Twitch - I have no idea how he juggles all that he does.

But he will stop by as often as he can.
