Strengths:

I prefer deep stack tourneys. Once I have a decent stack I feel more comfortable in pushing my weight around a bit (the problem, as we all can relate, is getting there :P). My confidence increases, my ability to read other players increases and I'm more comfortable in mixing it up, knowing that if it goes wrong I can recover. I guess thats true of most people tho.

Weaknesses:

- I'm pretty passive and often overvalue my opponent's hands
- Impatient. I get bored easily, and can start making rash moves that usually find me sitting on the sidelines.
- I'm probably fairly predictable, I often make moves and decisions straight from the ABC book of poker.

steve and finno "deep stack poker" is not really a strength imo - everyone is better at deepstack poker than they are at super turbo.

This is not true.

People can last longer, sure, but that doesn't equal "better".

Two issues I need to work on, too. The boredom factor, and the over valuing of an opponent's hand.

I like them both.

I like turbo MTT, up to 180 players and SNG's.

I also like deepstack events, if I am in the right mood and willing to be patient, which is hardly ever.

sure about that benny the cunt.

I will give you three hour length blinds in a very relaxed structure, but only 500 chips to play with.

Enjoy that tournament!!!!!
