We have Steve on the 2+2 Pokercast this week to give us some tips on how to optimally:

1. Play chinese poker
2. Bet on sports
3. Deal with a Phil Hellmuth tantrum

We will also ask him for some of the stories from the old Mayfair club in New York, where he was part of a group of future poker champions that also included the likes of Howard Lederer, Erik Siedel and Dan Harrington.

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

How did he enjoy his role playing Seth Dingle. Did it hurt leaving the set after all those years?

Ask him about his sports betting syndicate and how he used to move the lines when he bet.

Thoughts on investing outside of poker to diversify income streams, tips on the bar business, etc.

How has sports betting market changed since he was heavily involved. Could the handicappers he used back in the day still win today, etc.

Ask him why he signed the release to be on the HBO show Cathouse. Or did he think noone would notice it was him?

Rank the players in legendary Mayfair Club. Who was the bigger winner Noli Francisco or Howard Lederer or Dan Harrington?

Ask him about his 1995 win over Doyle Brunson in the Chinese Poker event. I was standing behind Doyle when they were heads up, and Doyle had him all-in. But Doyle set his hand wrong or it would have been over!

Steve came back and won! Amazing comeback!

Has he seen Charlie Princes documentary about Mayfair & The Diamond Club and does he think it should ever be shown in public or is it best kept a NYC secret? Does he agree that John Hanley should replace Norman Chad on all future episodes of ESPN's WSOP? How much did he & Lederer lose when they got caught with the diamonds coming back from Canada?

I'd say Steve Z is a "get." He has a lot of stories from the old days and loves to tell them, what else would you want in a radio guest?

I heard once that Steve did a porno in the 70s (and admits to as much), ask him about that, maybe.

I remember watching Steve on PAD and my mom made a comment about the stache... basically saying he's trying to look like a porn star. I'm not sure what kind of porn my mother has ever seen..

Keep the questions toward the "old days" of poker. I'd like to hear him reminisce about the times before the poker boom and before internet poker caught fire. I'd rather not hear him comment about the current state of poker etc because plenty of others can do that.

Maybe he has some stories about back room games or shady practices in casinos or something of that nature
