Interview with Coach FishermansFriend
PokerStrategy.com: Since when has poker been a part of your life?
fishermansfriend: I recall playing poker for the first time about five years ago and I’ve had a PokerStrategy.com account since early 2007. Since then I have been an SnG coach, video producer and hand evaluator for the Hungarian community. I make a living from my poker winnings.
PokerStrategy.com: Please tell us a little bit about your poker career so far.
fishermansfriend: My primary focus has always been on SnGs. I used to grind quite a few of the 9-mans, mostly on the $60 level, after climbing through the lower stakes. Lately I have shifted to MT-SnGs, mainly the 45-mans on Full Tilt. I also fancy a little HU cash game every now and then.
PokerStrategy.com: Which limits do you play?
fishermansfriend: I try to play as many tables as possible, because grinding a good amount of games is really important in these tournaments. With that being said, I play everything from $26 to $75 and try to put in as many games as possible.
PokerStrategy.com: Are there any tips you would like to give our PokerStrategists? What do you think is particularly important to become a better poker player?
fishermansfriend: A lot of players underestimate the importance of analysing their own sessions. In poker, you can win money with horrible plays and lose with perfect ones. Your short-term results are not directly related to how well you actually play in a certain session.
This is why you should take your time and review your sessions as often as you can, in order to figure out whether or not the way you played will be profitable in the long run. Our hand evaluation boards are a great opportunity to do that, and to get a professional second opinion. I also think that understanding the theory behind the concepts in poker is very important – knowing how the game actually works is what separates a decent player from an excellent one.
