QUESTION FROM noodlearms: whats volume 3 based on?what game on FTP would u suggest me learning apart from nl hold em?
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: It's all collaborative hands like the last section in volume 1. I'd suggest Omaha first as it's the most similar to Hold 'em, but once you really branch out, you will probably start having much more fun with poker!

ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: I much prefer three draw to one draw
QUESTION FROM scubes87: hi jon, why are there players always sitting at various high stakes tables but they're arent playing each other?

ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: Mixed, by miles
QUESTION FROM scubes87: yeah but you gotta think that there arent that many easy players going to come along at those stakes. they cant all share the fish, they gotta play some one hard sooner or later right?
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: Generally you're right, but you'd be surprised...
QUESTION FROM jackcourtenay: what is the best way to play aces
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: Fast, very fast.
QUESTION FROM iznogooddk: Hi Jon, Any thoughts on strategy in Rush tournaments? Should one go for as many hands "seen" as possible or play it slower - i.e wait your turn until folding thus paying less blinds?
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: Play it quickly if you're a good player, but play it as slowly as possible if you're not.
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: layed A LOT of poker, a very, very sad amount of poker. And yea, that's a touch too broad - plenty of "Pro Tips" available on fulltiltpoker.com I've even written a few myself!
QUESTION FROM kentgu: hi how did you become a pro poker player? do u have some tips what i shuld do to improve my game
QUESTION FROM giguli: u rather play HORSE or 10 game?
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: 10 game by far cuz, as my friend Simon says, I like to do drawings.
QUESTION FROM Connee: i feel like trying out everygame is better and far more interesting than concentrating on just one but what are the most important skills to be a good allround player (of course experience is) and can you be good in every one?
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: Yea, you can be good at every one... practice in each game should help you in others.
QUESTION FROM kentgu: How do u play in big turniments with about 1500 ppl
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: Try to beat 1499 of them. Don't pay attention to how many people are in a tournament, just try to beat the players at your table.
QUESTION FROM shipnhope: hi jon u just said the best way 2 play aces is very fast but surly this depends on stack sizes position etc
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: Yes, but every piece of advice I could possibly give regarding specific hands in poker depends on numerous factors. No way to truly answer that question without writing a book - speaking of which, check out Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand at a Time!
QUESTION FROM noodlearms: john i do well in tourneys but my stack stagnates after the bubble bursts, due to i know people are willing to gamble ,making stealing harder. Any tips?
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: If people are playing back at you too much, then either don't try stealing against them, or be ready to 4-bet shove on them if you think there's a good chance they are re-stealing.

QUESTION FROM noodlearms: do u make notes while multitabling so many tables? if so how
ANSWER FROM Jon Turner: Yes, honestly I don't consider the 8 - 12 tables I usually play to be that many. Some people play a lot more. It's all relative, and I have a lot of practice doing so.
