I’ve got a question for Annie: what recommendations do you have for borderline hands in tournament situations? I’m thinking of hands like suited connectors, ace rag/x-suited, small pocket pairs. How do things like stack size, position, other players in the pot, and stage of tournament guide your decision making with these hands. I know that’s a lot to answer, but those are the hands I have the toughest time playing.
General question for UB staff: what happened to all the pro articles that used to be on the site? All the old articles from guys like John Vorhaus and Krazy Kanuck have been long gone, and now I can’t find the articles from current pros like Shawn Rice. I always thought UB had one of the better article archives around… why are they gone now??? Bring back the articles!

Annie you’re amazing!
I read once that you folded pocket Aces in a tournament but i can’t remember where i read it. You had a good reason but now i forget. Why would someone fold pocket Aces ever?

Do you handle you taxes just like a business and do you have to pay higher taxes than a regular business? I am wanting to go full time as a professional poker player and am wondering how the taxes are handled.

When you really felt like the tides were pulling you towards pro poker play. How did/do you balance both worlds. Also, how do you balance emotional family stress and not bring it to the table.

Hi there,
I’m a female that is incredibly intrigued by poker and have a strong desire to improve as quickly as possible. I’m 45, an ex-athlete and coach. Very competitive and mentally tough. Absolutely loved what you wrote about the physical side of the game and being in top shape. Please suggest the next steps for someone who is winning small tournaments on line on a fairly regular basis. I’m very serious about taking my game to the next level and exploring my potential. Are their things I need to commit to memory, books you would suggest are must reads. Tell me and I”m all over it. Thanks Annie and keep rockin.

Hi Annie!
I have some income from playing poker online and was wondering if there are any tax professionals that you can recommend who are experienced in preparing returns for poker players.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Hello Annie, Im just wondering if you have any advice or tips on how to keep focused on the game and not on taking revenge on an opposing player, after a bad beat or cold deck hand.
