***Official questions thread for Bertand "Elky" Grospellier and Joe Stapleton*** - Poker News

Hey all,

Given that it's a holiday up here in America's hat tomorrow which allows us to record the show during the day, we are going to bring on a couple guests that are in Europe at the moment.

If you have any questions you would like to hear Elky or Stapes answer, please post them below.

As always, this thread will be more heavily modded to keep it on topic. The show will be posted in our forum and on Itunes on Tuesday morning.

@ stapes: what are some of the lines that you've wanted to say in the big game that didn't get past the censor?

Elky I notice your play is tighter in live cash games then online, is this due to the live environment, the stakes or the other players at the table

To Elky- What are his opinions on the segregation of online poker in France and Italy, i.e stars.fr. Does he think this will eventually benefit the players?

I would like to hear about his bracelet this year, e.g the rumours that he hadn't played much stud etc. Then his opinions on the game, i.e stud vs hold'em, datedness etc.

To Elky-
Why are you not online at pokerstars to play in the big cash games?
What did you do to celebrate when you won your first wsop bracelet?
To Joe-Can you beat 400 nl online?

Elky- if you were an American unable to leave the country (but for maybe a few weeks a year) what would you do now? What would you do if you were a pro who just could not play online, for 2 years, lets say?

psst that was my question ! Only I put "instead of a gamer" because I wanted to cover both online video gaming (of which he was a pro in south Korea before) and poker.

Obvious question but yeah this.

Also, why not look to a non-US centric poker tv model? Stick isildur and a few other Northern Europeans/Asian guys (from a wide variety of places assuming they are good) in with the well known tv pros (Daniel and Barry) and other younger US players and the format can still work the same. Make it a world poker tv event! I understand a bit of retrenchment after black friday, but they still have a huge market to serve so why not press on?
