Tough question. If the goal is to make money, I probably go with the biggest whales that I could tolerate for a week, but I think that's a boring answer. I'll give you the lineup I wouldn't mind losing money to.
David Sklansky. This guy is incredibly interesting and we always have great convos.
Mike Sexton. As I mentioned before, his stories are fantastic.
Daniel Negreanu. I enjoy his energy, but this would be more of an impact play.
Liv Boeree. She's quite brilliant and I'd like to get another poker player/effective altruist at the table.
This list is becoming a little dry. I think Antonio and Phil Laak would make the table really enjoyable.
To round it out, I'd include some of the following:
Mike McDonald, Phil Galfond, Sorel Mizzi, Faraz Jaka, Gordo, Todd Brunson.
If we are 10-handed, you have a seat at the table.

2. What is the major cause of someone's ass crack showing, pants too small or butt too big?
Trick question. It's actually shirt too short. Thanks for not providing photo evidence!
It feels like it's struggling, but I think it will always have a niche following. I know that the joke is that FLO8 will die when all the guys that started playing it in the 80s die.
I remember when PLO8 was supposed to be the "game of the future", but I think it's like Stud Hi-Lo No Qualifier in that it's a way to take money really quickly. I think the future of poker is HE and constantly changing mixes, of which hopefully FLO8 will always be a part.
