10 questions for the pros...

DeVore · 31-08-2004 2:13am #1

I'm planning on sending a questionaire to a few pros who have agreed to be interviewed by us and I thought it would be a laugh to come up with the questions here, so blast out any interesting questions you can think of and I'll send them the best 10 of the lot. We'll post the replies up once a month on the site.
You can make them pro-specific (ie: Devilfish: Where did you get those shades?) or general (What age did you start playing?).
The quirkier the better imho.
I'll post my suggestions later but I'm sure you guys can come up with better questions then me...

Do you have any superstitions about the colour of the backs of the cards?

Obscure · 31-08-2004 3:04pm

If they see an opponents cards will they just play on and tough **** to the opponent who should have protected his cards?

Do you get more enjoyment and financial reward from cash games or tournaments?

and just in keeping with the theme:

How long were you playing before you thought you were good enough to play with the best? i.e. how long do you think it takes to be experienced enough to have what it takes?

MrPudding · 31-08-2004 10:17pm

Sh1t, you guys take this poker stuff way too seriously. More hooker questions please.

MrP

Spiritus · 01-09-2004 9:03am

Done.

How long were you playing with hookers before you thought you were good enough to play with the best ? i.e. how long do you think it takes to be experienced enough to have what it takes?

MrPudding · 01-09-2004 9:21am

Is it just a coincidence that pOKER and hoOKER both have the same last four letters or is there a deeper connection that your not telling us ?

CoD · 01-09-2004 9:56am

Interesting question Samba. I have heard of twins being hookers but never quads. Interesting though. More a question of stamina rather than keeping calm I would have thought.

MrP

Spiritus · 02-09-2004 9:06am

Imho keeping calm would be equally important when confronted with quads ( poker or hooker -wise )

DeVore · 02-09-2004 9:58am

Do you look for any specific tells?

dirkey_wynne · 02-09-2004 10:03am

What tells have you picked up to announce someone is bluffing
ie When a hooker is faking it what gives her (or him, if that's your preference, I'm looking at you Hellmuth) away?

MrPudding · 02-09-2004 10:04am

Do you mean like really short skirts and high heels? Or cries of "are you looking for business?"

MrP

dirkey_wynne · 02-09-2004 10:13am

Well what would one normally be referring to in regard to a woman faking it??

Spiritus · 02-09-2004 11:57am

Whether or not she was slowplaying Aces?

Lafortezza · 03-09-2004 3:43pm

When you and your high-rolling poker buddys are taking a break from poker and hookers, do you tell jokes like "She had a big pair, but I had the nut straight and took her all the way to the river, and came over the top...."

amp · 04-09-2004 8:51am
