Interview with Liz Lieu - Questions End November 28th

Some of you may have noticed i added an interviews page at http://www.texasholdemforums.com/interviews/ to post the interviews we have.

Im gonna get more arranged for you guys

The first to reply was the fantastic Jenifer Harman. Unfortunately she cant do it but she was good enough to email me back and say that shes very busy at the moment but could probably do an interview in January


The beautiful Liz Lieu also got back to me quickly too and said she would be more than happy to do an interview for us.

Post your questions in this thread. I will collate them and then email Ms Lieu with them in about a week....say monday 28th november.

Only post interview questions in this threads. I rarely delete posts but ill delete any off topic posts to keep the thread clean. Its a pain to have to go through a 10 page thread with only 10 questions with the rest of the posts not being related If you have a question or suggestion about her interviews please post them in a new thread.

Cant think of a question....

Ms Lieu's website can be found at http://www.lizlieu.net/

Its worth reading a little about her before posting a question - keep it relvent.

Here is the bio from her site

Do you play limit or no limit cash games? If limit, what style of play do you find to be the most beneficial? Ulta-aggressive, very tight but playng the big hands aggressive, or a bit of everything. Do you ever attempt a bluff in limit, because I know that they rarely work in the online work of poker. If no limit, do you attempt any big bluffs? Do you try to steal the blinds a fair amount? Do you try to establish yourself as the aggressor at the table? Thanks Miss Lieu.

Question :

5,619 players played in this years World Series of Poker Championship Event. 2004 had even more with 2,576 players. In comparison, there were just ovewr 40 players in the main event in 1978 when Baldwin won.

Remembering that pokers popularity is still growing at a fast rate, do you believe anyone will ever be able to get close to the number of WSOP bracelets won by Brunson, Chan and Hellmuth?

Considering you only have a year of tournament playing under your belt, I was wondering how much professional cash game experience you have. If it's not considerably more than that same year, what made you realize you'd be successful professionally? Did/do you have coaches? How did you prepare? Did you have a large bankroll to play with as you learned? What exactly, if anything, made you sit up one day and say " Hey I'm really good at this!"

Thanks in advance

do you think being one of the few lady players on the circuit works to your advantage

IN NLHE the pre-flop bet is a critical bet, on the one hand you do not want to bet too heavy, since you never know how the flop is going to fair out with your pocket cards and on the other hand you want to bet enough to drive out many of the opponents. I know that Chris Moneymaker tries not to be a heavy pre-flop bettor as he will risk an extra opponent or two to keep himself from being too committed to the pot...it is a very general question, without bringing up other factors, but in general, how do you feel about the pre-flop bet and do you feel that the turn bet is probably the most critical bet?

I view NLHE as a 80-90% mind game and a 10-20% card game...how do you view it?

First of all, congratulations on your recent success and thank you for taking the time to join us here at Texas Holdem Forums.

A recent debate came up lately here at the forum and a few of our members chimed in with their thoughts. I wanted to get a proffesional players point of view.. So heres the scenario:

Its the very first hand of the WSOP and your in the Big Blind and you look down to see Pocket Aces. Everyone folds except the Small Blind ( an obvious rookie ) who announces "ALL-IN"!! . The question is.. Do you call? and why or why not?

youve been a professional poker player for a few years now. This year you finished a very respectable 5th in the $1,500 No-limit Hold'em WSOP game and picked up $177,000.

When you finish well and win money in a tournament how do you manage the cash? For example, do you set aside 40% as a bankroll for future games and cash the rest?
