With $17k profit on Hendon Mob, Justin is mainly a cash game player grinding both in Canada and in the US.<\/em><\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>Hi Justin\u00a0! Thanks for doing this interview! First question\u00a0: Where are you from and where do you play?<\/p>\n

Justin Quinn:<\/em> I am from Buffalo, NY. I primarily play at a local game during the week and my local casino has some decent games on the weekends.<\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>How did you start in poker?<\/p>\n

Justin:<\/em> <\/strong>It all started in the basement. I was 18 and I played in my dad\u2019s home tournament with his friends. Eventually, some of my friends started to come and play which led to me hosting my own $10-$20 home tournaments. Those eventually turned into $100 buy-in cash games and the poker fever started.<\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>Are you playing professionally? Since when?<\/p>\n

Justin:<\/em> I\u2019ve been playing as a main source of income since I was 19, because I was able to go to Canada to play. <\/strong>However, I didn\u2019t start taking it as a profession until about 21.<\/strong> I\u2019m 23 now.<\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>Do you play every day? Can you take us through your typical day?<\/p>\n

Justin:<\/em> Currently, when I am home in Buffalo, I play 3\u20135 days per week. If I go to a more desirable poker destination I\u2019ll try to play 6\u20137 days per week. I mainly play $2\/$5 No Limit Hold\u2019Em with some occasional $5\/$10 in the mix. Before a poker session, the main thing I try to make sure I do is eat. <\/strong>There are a lot of times I play hungry and I think it is one of the worst things you could do. Listening to some good music on the way to the session also helps.<\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>If you had an advice to give to people that want to grind live poker, what would it be\u00a0?<\/p>\n

Justin:<\/em> There is a lot of advice to be given in the live poker scene. If I were to give some simple advice I think it would be to make sure that you adhere to a strict bankroll management<\/strong> (however difficult it may be), don\u2019t let the swings of the game affect you, practice good game selection (play with fish), and start to practice thinking logically, rationally and empathetically.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>Do you have a player you admire most from the poker community?<\/p>\n

Justin:<\/em> My biggest admiration in the poker community <\/strong>has to be Sammy Farha for making the term \u201cRaisy Daisy\u201d a thing for a while. <\/strong>I don\u2019t think anyone has ever come up with anything better than that.<\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>What did you do to improve your poker skills?<\/p>\n

Justin:<\/em> I\u2019ve never used a poker training site. To improve my poker skills<\/strong> I just lost, a lot<\/strong>. I probably have paid off every spot imaginable at some point and I\u2019ve made sure to really use that information to correct my mistakes in the future. I\u2019m a very logical and analytical person, so that helps me understand the intricacies of the game and form my own strategy as well.<\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>Are <\/em>you a Poker Analytics user? If so, what is the feature you like the most?<\/p>\n

Justin:<\/em> <\/strong>Poker Analytics is the best bankroll management app for sure. I\u2019ve used a couple others and Poker Analytics is by far my favorite. The best feature on this app is the Hand History Replays. You can turn the Hand History into a GIF, video, text or an image to share with your friends which is just awesome. It really make sharing a hand simple and easy to understand.<\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>Have you ever traveled to play poker?<\/p>\n

Justin: <\/em>Have I traveled to play poker? That\u2019s pretty much all I do! <\/strong>The games in my hometown are very bad so I try to get out as much as possible to play. My main travel spots are Miami, Maryland, Vegas, and sometimes Atlantic City when Borgata has good tournament series.<\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>What are you other hobbies besides poker?<\/p>\n

Justin:<\/em> If I am not at a poker table I am probably playing golf. <\/strong>I recently started to get into the Fortnite phenomenon as well so if the weather doesn\u2019t coincide with my golf plans you can find me on Xbox.<\/p>\n

Poker Analytics: <\/em>Do you have some funny stories that happened at the tables? Any memorable hand?<\/p>\n

Justin:<\/em> I can\u2019t think of any particularly funny moments at the poker table but I definitely have a pretty memorable hand. I was playing a $2\/$5 in Baltimore that eventually turned into a $5\/$10 with a $50 straddle on the button. There was a couple \u201cwhales\u201d with $10,000 stacks so the game was playing crazy. I opened 56dd to $150 in SB, and get 3 bet to $500 by one said whale. The other said whale cold calls $500 and I come along with about a $2500 stack. I end up getting it all in heads up on a flop of Kd2d3x after a $500 continuation bet and a call. The board runs out 2x 9x and <\/strong>I announce \u201c6 high\u201d. I get a look of misery from the whale as he shows 45s and my 6 high plays and I win the $6,000 pot with the second nut low! Don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever play another hand that will top that one.<\/p>\n
