How many hours of live cash games have you played this year?

Aside from HSP, do you ever play live NLH cash?

If you were 20 years old now, where would you be playing cash games / tournaments / live / online / NLH / PLO / mixed games etc?

Where do you see poker in 5 years / 10 years time?

Can he see the reversal of the UIGA legislation?

Does he see more corporate sponsorship in poker with money added to prize pools, or do you think that mainstream brands will continue to distance themselves from poker?

What can be done to improve poker's image to society? What changes would he make?

Why is TV coverage of poker so bad?!

Do you forsee another poker boom (please Asia get hooked!), or do you think poker will remain pretty steady over the next few years / any decline?

How do players with such poor NLH fundamentals seemingly achieve continued tournament circuit success? Is this largely due to variance?

How are your proteges getting on?

Have you heard that Anette_15 won a 180 player tournament without looking at her holecards? What price would you need to be given to take action on making it through day 1 of the WSOP main event without looking at your cards? 5:1?

Which person would you least like to have sitting to your left on day 1 of a tournament?

Have you heard that the player at your table that you were giving stick for reading a Harrington on Holdem book in the WSOP main event a couple of years ago is a nose-bleads high stakes NLH cash player Urindanger?

What are the biggest fundamental mistakes that he sees players make in tournaments? What is the most mis-understood concept? Is it making + EV cash game plays, that fail to take into account the inherent value of ones 'tournament life'?

Have you ever watched a Cardrunners or poker-training site video, ie for research for your training programme? What are your thoughts on them?

You said winning your fantasy hockey draft means more to you than winning any poker tournament, how is your team this year and why does the draft mean so much to you?

Who is going to win the Stanley Cup this year?

Best advice for someone to move up from 100nl to the higher limits? How many tables at a time and ratio of playing to studying?

How do you make yourself comfortable earning a living from poker from a moral standpoint, knowing that a large % of your income comes from players that are playing outside of their financial means? Is this one of the reasons that you focus more on tournaments compared to cash games?
03-23-2008 , 10:25 AM
How did you build a bankroll when you first started seriously playing? What limits/game did you play?

Having played significantly more online through the last year, has it changed how you look at poker ? Mathematical aspects of the game you've taken more into account than before, etc ?

Being known for a good hand/people reader, how confident can you be that a physical tell you pick up is correct ? For instance, can't nervous acts like hands shaking, heavy breathing, fast pulse often mean two different things; if they have a good hand can they not be just as excited as if they were bluffing and so on ? Also, how much / how often can something you pick up influence your decision in a hand ?

If you could choose between the following scenarios, which would it be ?
*WSOP ME final table with average chipstack against a number of greatly respected players
*12 hour cashgame where you could pick the format/game, opponents and play for any amount

Make him explain himself and with a little luck start an interpersonal poker war.
For those of us without harrington on cash games, could you give the cliff notes of the hand plz?

For Daniel, who's at your dream PAD table?

You are known for calling out your opponent's hand and then making the call anyway even though if your read is correct, you are beat. How big a leak is your curiosity? Do you make those crying calls to confirm reads for future situations or is it just curiosity?

Legit question:

When playing online do you use any software while playing such as trackers or HUDs?
03-23-2008 , 11:57 AM
more to the point, what do you think of online tools and their effect on the game? If you know or suspect that somebody is tracking your style of playing using a HUD or something similar, how do you adapt the way you approach the game?

This + what live games do you actually play in now and how often do you actually play.

Whatever happened to the heads up challenge matches, and specifically did you and Barry G ever resume your matches?

On a related note, would you play Durrr HU after he gets done pwning Phil H?

Which game do you feel has the least variance in a tournament setting; i.e. in which skill has the best chance to overcome short term card catching?

Are you still involved with the players committee for the WSOP, and if so what changes did you lobby for this year?
Have you learned not to make prop bets with Admo?
03-23-2008 , 01:23 PM

do you now realize/admit how badly you have played on almost every season of HSP?

What do you like/dislike about living in Vegas, as opposed to like/dislike of living in Canada?
03-23-2008 , 01:56 PM
I just wanted to ask him that he has mentioned a lot on his blog that whenever he goes and plays Limit Hold'em online, it seems to drastically improve his No Limit Hold'em game. Can you please elaborate on that and also ask him that if you are running bad/on a cold streak, should u go and take a few shots at limit hold'em to "tame" your game a bit?

What words of gratitude do you have for the hundreds of poker players who helped you unbusto yourself by transferring small increments of money to your Pokerstars account?

What's it feel like to be the proud owner of the biggest receding hairline in the poker industry?

For how much would you go perma bald?
03-23-2008 , 04:42 PM
1. I'm seriously interested if he's giving action on him winning a bracelet again this year, if so what are the odds he's laying.

2. Any new up and coming promotions?

3. Are you going to be doing another Protege' series?

4. What advice to you have for players with aspirations of going pro?
03-23-2008 , 05:00 PM

03-23-2008 , 05:02 PM
A few questions for you Mr Negreanu...

2. What is your biggest poker accomplishment?

3. Do you still play poker?

Where do you think you would be now/ended up had poker not exploded like it did a few years ago?
