10 Questions for the WSOP players

DeVore

I'm looking for suggestions for good questions to ask the WSOP players? I'm going to try and get responses from as many as possible and create a gallery of their pictures and profiles.

And if we could exclude questions regarding both hookers AND coke, it would be a blessing....

Anyone got any good suggestions or questions they'd like me to ask?

What did their parents/family think of playing poker for a living, especially when they told them they were packing in school/job/college?

What do their wives/husbands/partners react when they say ... honey, I'm just going on-line for a while ? (I'm very interested in this answer :rolleyes: )

If there is one famous player you would like to suck out on and bust from the WSOP who would it be and why?

1 What type of equity do they think they have at the WSOP
2 What preperations have they taken to ensure they play well considering the structure is going to be so different than what they are used to

What do you prefer? Hookers or Coke?

The answer to this for most players HAS to be a certain foul-mouthed American pro!

Took the words right out of my mouth.


1. What are their favourite sites to play on?
2. Have they played the WSOP before and, if so, how did they get on?

Juan Pablo

How does it feel to be playing alongside Oscar?


What label of champagne would you choose to pour over your hot tub full of hookers.. oh yeah no hooker questions. Damn anti hooker anti coke stance. Down with that sort of thing.

Fathead

if playing the main event.
How did they pay for the buy-in?
Won online, satelite, direct, etc

Do you use coke to improve your performance, or on a recreational basis only?
If it's the former, have you considered speed as an alternative?

I wanted to know if Oscar ever sailed in a Galway Hooker and whether Mark prefers Pepsi Max or Diet Coke but if I can't ask.....

Most will either not have a clue what equity is or say they have as good a chance as anyone else.

Ask them are they there to win?

One question I would like to know and I'm sure it sounds odd but "What job did you give up (and what salary) to play poker full-time?"

Equity?
Yea, no idea. Im guessing cos Im freerolling that my equity is plus EV

Basically Im playing in a $60,000,000 Freeroll.

You see this is the kind of fish you are dealing with in the WSOP. It's a minefield.

bohsman

I just wanna play poker.

Im sick of all these bloody internet players taking over the game with their maths and big words

During level 1 you get AK in middle position and raise it to 300. A player you dont know makes it 1k to go from the button. Whats your move!

Amaru

If you could be one player at the WSOP, who would it be?

Davey Devil

Will you be wearing sunglasses?

Are there any tactics you'd like to share with the other players?





Andy Black ftw

Q: Before you started playing poker at casinos or online did you gamble on sports or horses etc?.

Q: Did you ever get upset or caught up in an argument at the table by something someone said or did to you?.

Dave

Q. Will the amount you've invested to be at the WSOP affect your play for the first few levels (i.e. someone is all in against you within the first few hands and you've got rockets?)

Mainly aimed at internet qualifiers I suppose. Sort of similar to the AK question above.

Iago

You're down to the bubble and you're shortstacked. The chip leader on your table raises enough to put you all-in.

What range of hands would you call with? Would your range be wider if you were already guaranteed a payout?

EARMUFFS

Can all of ye get together and beat the crap out of antonio esfandiari...

DeVore

Ok, thanks guys. I'm going to avoid the "you have AK on the QJ board with one of your suit and..." questions. I'm more going for the non-poker questions (its makes for better reading tbh).
Thanks to everyone, some great questsion there I wouldnt have thought of!

colin300

What is your favourite hand?

Does your partner know you play poker? (If not, what are you telling them about the 2 weeks you'll be away)

Have you ever had anything repossessed because of poker?

When was the last time you wished you had never heard of poker?

Dub13

This may seem like a silly question but...."what site do you play on..?"be interesting to find out were the top players play and what they think of other sites.

Just try not to ask any of the 3000 odd pokerstars qualifiers
