Ouchbadbeat Interview
Surfers real name: Rob
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Location: Midlands UK
Years Playing Poker: Unsure, I think probably about 5
Favorite poker variation: 2-7 Triple Draw
Favorite starting hand: Gotta play the percentages... aces
Favorite Poker Site: I quite liked Pokerroom when I played there, it had more game variation like Chinese Poker. But then they banned me for entering false contact details, damn them!!
1. Why did you chose your SurfersPoker screen name and what does it mean?
I wanted to play on Pokerstars after having been away from poker for a while... ouchbadbeat just seemed like a fitting poker name. My old poker ID was cashdrain, pour all your cash down the cashdrain... but I prefer this name
2. How would you define your style of play?
Tight and annoyed
3. Poker Achievements?
My biggest win so far is $450ish in a $5.50 omaha hi/lo game. I haven't had many huge wins since then but this is partly because I tend to play less tournaments now. It's not because I suck...........
4. What brought you to join SurfersPoker in the first place, and what keeps you here?
I was playing with xxPOGOxx on some micro tournament and I don't remember exactly how we got talking but eventually he referred me here so I checked it out. What keeps me here is the endless supply of noobs to pwn
5. Which SurfersPoker member would you like to face in a HU match and why?
Jogadora13, because he told me to go to tounament and I feel I've let him down by not doing so
6. Who are your 5 favorite SurfersPoker members?
I like people who spell "favourite" correctly, I'll tell you that much
But seriously...I like people who have a sense of humour and make the forum a fun place to be
7. How do you play differently in tournaments vs. cash games?
Not sure, since I hate cash games and find them incredibly boring. Probably play a lot tighter in cash games
8. What would you consider a weakness in your game/ something you need to improve?
I need to bluff more...though I am gradually getting more bluffy I think
9. How Has SurfersPoker helped your game play?
I like the analytical hand discussions. They are interesting and help you see whether your opinion on the proper course of play is correct, and if not, why.
10. Best Moment in a tournament?
I'll go with the obvious, winning a big MTT
But another moment that I found amusing was in a 2-7 triple draw game, some inexperienced player stood pat on a 3 to 7 straight while all-in, and the other guy trying to bust him drew one on third street and hit a 4 to 8 straight. The clueless all-in player survived against massive odds, and I found this highly amusing.
11. Most recent tournament win?
$11 2-7 triple draw tournament, AKA the only thing keeping me in profit
12. Who introduced you to poker?
Can't actually remember. Probably some internet search engine while I was looking for stuff to do (I used to be a big fan of sites such as xwww.newgrounds.com and xwww.miniclip.com, basically places with games on to pass the time)
