You're playing the Roller and have managed to get to the final table with a decent stack. Still in the mini, but struggling as short stack aiming for jackpot.
Theres a knock on the door and Mila Kunis is there asking for help as her car has broken down.
Question for matt: i often suffer a fair bit of abusive comments in the chat box as i can make some debatable calls / shoves etc, what is the best way to deal with it, as it sometimes tilts me into mistakes.

I would just like to thank Matt for last month when he took the time to give me such good advice on making the transition between online to live poker.
Evening, Gentlemen! I would just like to thank Matt for last month when he took the time to give me such good advice on making the transition between online to live poker. Best advice I've been given - by far. Posted by Llamas
i have just gone out of the MTT i did post a question about spots like this earlier, i called the river and predicted Jx right away but it's the fact they do it with weak Jxs as well as strong Jxs makes it so frustrating.
what is your best way of getting the value with these against those weaker hands and also avoiding the loss of a whole stack from those that are better.
When playing in a non-bounty hunter game on Sky, how low in terms of number of big blinds are you prepared to get before shoving pretty much any ace etc?
..and do you prefer to shove over an open or to steal the blinds?
Do you play any other formats on other sites like 4max? Do you ever have issues when you have like 6max, full-ring, and 4max on the go all at the same time because obviously ranges change drastically.
Also I remember you saying that in yuor early days on Sky you struggled and you really had to adapt your MTT game for Sky... do you find you're playing 2 different styles when playing on Sky and another site at the same time and is that a struggle at times?
Some great advice and insight from Matt. I was bemoaning my luck when he took my pants down . (not in the literal sense I might add) heads up in a tourney the other week, but in hindsight I had played VERY fast & loose upto that point and did not put enough emphasis on my perceieved image... I did not know Matt, or how good he was and he obviously had me tagged by then or at least had a good read on me and I prob should have changed gears. Either way..WP Matt and it has been very interesting listening tonight,,the bits i managed to catch.
lIKE Matt I multi table mtts..however need to have a word with myself on the consistency front.
By the way .. coming after you next year on the sharkscope front!!
Also a question for Matt. Do you think there is more value in live play or online?
It would be a great idea for Rich and Ross to do some gymnastic stunt.
Matt of course will judge and the winner will receive the inaugural Matt Bates Gymnastic Imaginery Trophy, similar to the prestigious Ross Jarvis awards for poker.

Question for Matt: In a MTT are we ever folding a set of 6s, on a not so terrible board:)

Question for Matt
Larger or Cider ?
Just because when I started playing the suits were Black and White, it doesn't make me old. I feel hurt. Last question, Vegas next year?
