    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?

    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:

    Who is the toughest pro to play against and why?

    What made you realise you had the skills to do this for a living?

    What would you recommend most about the lifestyle of a poker pro and what are the major disadvantages?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,638 ✭✭✭Iago


    What's the most important thing to be a succesful poker player?

    If you could go back in time and give yourself just one tip when you were starting out, what would it be?

    What's the biggest mistake you've made to lose a hand and what would you change about it now?

    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?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding


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

    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?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,788 ✭✭✭MrPudding

    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 ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 320 ✭✭CoD


    If your in a tournament, who do you most want NOT to end up heads up with


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 8,923 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    If you have a choice of hookers who do you most want NOT to get head from?

    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.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 275 ✭✭Spiritus


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

    Do you look for any specific tells?


  • Registered Users Posts: 799 ✭✭✭dirkey_wynne


    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?

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

    MrP


  • Registered Users Posts: 799 ✭✭✭dirkey_wynne


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 275 ✭✭Spiritus


    Whether or not she was slowplaying Aces?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,806 ✭✭✭Lafortezza


    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...."


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    Do you ever play 72o for comedy value?
    How did poker find you?
    What do you think of Blackjack?
    What other player do you most fear?
    Apart from poker, what other gambling do you do?
    What's the most you've won in a tournament?
    What would make you give up poker?
    What's the jammiest hand you've ever won?
    You've won a big tournament and a shítload of cash, what's the first thing you buy with it apart from hookers?
    If you had to choose between poker and hookers which one would you go for?
