Hello everybody , in this time the interview is for an excellent poker player, is one of the best on spl,he always catch me with A and kicker higher than my own,@hopfarmnc has a great skills to play poker pre and post-flop.
What is your name and when did you start to play poker?
My name is Bill AKA Hop on the SPL poker tables. I started playing poker in 2004 when I moved to my wife's hometown of Greenville North Carolina.
Why do you play poker?
I play poker because it's fun and a easy game to learn but a hard game to master. I enjoy pushing myself to be the best I can be at anything I do.
Do you like poker online or casinos?
I enjoy both online play and casino play. The closest casino from where I live is 3 hours away so I play more online right now than I do live.
Did you have to study poker to become a good player?
No I don't believe you have to study poker to become a good player. But to become a great player, yes. To be great at anything you must fully immerse yourself in it. You can become a good player by playing a little. But to be a Pro studying is a must.
What do you consider that is the essential to become in a professional poker player?
What I believe is essential in becoming a professional poker player is your willingness to learn from your mistakes and bankroll management. If you don't learn from the mistakes you made in poker there is no chance for you to become a professional poker player. Also if you don't know how to manage your bankroll you will keep going broke and never be able to reach professional status.
Do you consider that the poker is a real job or just a hobby?
Poker can be a real job or a hobby. I personally know people that play poker for a living and I know people that just play poker for fun.
Do you think that the cryptos will help to the poker industry?
Yes I believe crypto can be good for poker. As a matter of fact I believe crypto can be good for every company, industry and person. When we take the money out of the crooked government's hands and put it in the hands of the people that is a good thing.
Tell us an anecdote in you poker history?
One of my favorite memories of playing poker was in 2005. One of the local bars hosted a poker tournament on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights. There was over a hundred and fifty people that played in this tournament each night. I started to make a name for myself around the poker community in Greenville when I won back-to-back tournaments my second week playing at this bar.
You are the only person that kick out the throne to Hoodish on the player of the month , how do you feel about that?
I feel great about dethroning Hoodish from the SPL player-of-the-month. My first month of playing on SPL I saw Hoodish talking a little junk to everybody but how many player of the months he won. So I decided to knock him off his high horse. Hehehe. After I knocked him off the top I made the decision to go back to back player the months. That one was to show everybody and myself that the first player of the month I won wasn't a fluke. Love ya @Mikey aka Hoodish.
What would you like of the new SPL (scorum poker league)?
For the new SPL I would like to see the same fun and good times that we have at the other SPL carryover. I would also love to see a lot more players and bigger tournaments with bigger prizes. With scourm being a bedding platform, I also think it would be great to incorporate different types of bets in the poker community. For example we could do a last longer bet in tournaments. We could do a bet for player of the month. Shit I think it would be cool if one day we could figure out how to giveaway a WSOP buying to a player.
What would you tell to the players that wants to kick you out on the poker tables?
What I would like to tell players that are trying to kick me off the table and take my chips is you better have patience. I pride myself in being able to play the long game. So if you're trying to bust me your best chance is to catch me at the final table.
