HJ - like to hear him dish the dirt on himself...my perception at the moment is that he is either the perfect poker player or a smidge on the arrogant side...open to be corrected either way

I'd like to see HJ answer 5 pages of questions on Pro Evo 6.

Pillowtalk, Norwich Fan Rob would be two I'd like to ask questions of about poker.

Daithio is in Thailand at the moment I think, but apparently they have wireless everywhere there, so I'm sure he'd do it and lots of people would benefit.

I would be willing to do a dealer's well.

He's much better at 5!

And FWIW the PS2 version of Pro Ev 6 is an absolute suckfest. It's a cheap regurgitated Pro Ev 5 with a few tweaks. Xbox 360 is a gazillion times better and has a new improved game engine. PC version of Pro Ev 6 is the same as the PS2. Horrific.

My winrate on pro ev 6 for the ps2 is slightly above my winrate for 5 on the ps2, I think there is less luck in the game to be honest. They are very similar games though and most people have no problem going from one to the other. Pro Ev 6 on the 360 is totally different, I managed to get then hang of it after a few games but its a whole different game. The graphics are far superiour to either of the ps2 games, but since its a new console thats to be expected.

Perhaps it should be "nominate someone who hasn't been nominated already".

Along with those named above, how about some of the quieter members
Scott Gray.
Jesse May.
Pauly (from Tao of Poker, Blogger/Pro resident in Vegas)
Mike Lacey
KP
Niall O'C (would like to question him on his experience of leaving a comfy work environment to play!)

I think rather then a day in the well... a week in the well would work better. Gives the well-dweller more time to respond and is less of a burden overall (I should imagine) ... ???

HJ & Fuzz - for there hand reading skills

PillowTalk - on how to leapfrog the levels to high steaks and maintain bankroll/balls to continue and on how to play the bubble in big tourneys

NorwichFanRob/Ollieboy - on tournament play

PPPSpecial - On how to speech play the table and go broke on AQ in successive tournaments

Ghollimoli - as he is the best results based commentator on hands. From what I can see from reading boards he would always have done the right thing.

Never to be forgotten, come back soon, and GL in your Final year...

As well as all the people already nominated, I'd also like Cardshark in the well...

EDIT: Roundtower would also be a good one too, I'm sure we'd have more specific questions that wasn't covered by his 2+2 well... e.g. Hold 'Em Q's, the Main Event and the Irish Live Poker scene...
