    5. Which community player would you most like to play live in a televised heads-up cash battle? lambert 180
    6. What is your choice for Sky tournament of the year? orford league- it's great to have a popular MTT with 10 people still going, DTDs the best 6 ring and the best main event goes to super roller
    7. Who is the best community cash player? lambert 180 i could say rosedog but i i think them stakes have very little quantity overall where as nl50p has still got lots of people to ajust your game to.
    8. Who is the best community MTT player? mattbates, he could be a person who hacks the PCs but i would say myself he is just a great MTT player.
    9. For the rest of your poker life you have to either:
        a) fold pocket aces pre-flop, or
        b) play 7-2 offsuit as if it was aces.
    either would work really if it's rigged, 72 worst hand so it has to always win and it's rigged so AA never wins lol.

    14. You hold AA in the first hand of the WSOP Main Event. Six people shove all-in before you. You are the last to act. Do you call? no but it's difficult to know what to do really as all i think here is the WSOP itself, if i was actually playing it i might have called as i'm in a big event got the chance of a massive chip lead and so could be much better chance of winning.
    15. ...if you don't, how many shoves do you call? 3 maybe 2 if there was a person who had already raised UTG.
    16. Who is the most underated player in the community? larson 7
    17. Dinner (and dessert) with Liv Boeree, or win a £1,000 cash pot from Phil Ivey?

    21. What is your favourite (fabric) suit? football shirt

    1. What is the most unconventional location you've ever played poker? At a desk? It was a rarity for me and the desk had sharpish edges so my arm was kind of sore after leaning on it!

    2. Who is the community player you would most like to have a drink with? Excluding those I've already had a drink with, I'm going to say Dohhh.

    3. Which professional poker player would you most like to have a drink with? Phil Hellmuth sounds a barrel of laughs!

    4. Your time machine is broken. When would you rather be stuck?
        a) 1899
        a) 1964 Get to see England win the world cup if I'm there for 2 years!! 2073 would feel too alien as would 1899. And I could make a nice sum on predicting future events :P
        b) 2073

    5. Which community player would you most like to play live in a televised heads-up cash battle? gazza127 - Definitely won't be boring!

    6. What is your choice for Sky tournament of the year? - Super Roller

    7. Who is the best community cash player? - Me? edit: Seen some replies saying Style/rosiedog. I thought this was a question about COMMUNITY and haven't seen them contribute! I was going to pick Tommy but could never pick him for both :P

    8. Who is the best community MTT player? - TommyD 

    9. For the rest of your poker life you have to either:
        a) fold pocket aces pre-flop, or 
        b) play 7-2 offsuit as if it was aces. This. I'm pretty sure folding Aces would have a pretty big dent in your WR whereas with 7-2 off you could just use it as your bluff hand and it probably wouldn't do terrible. Does this mean you have to call tho if someone ships on AAKxx thinking you have aces? :P

Less than 50/50 but still a huge favourite to become a massive chip leader. If I'm playing the Main Event as well I would have the BR for it or be staked in it. How do you explain to your stakers if you fold AA here?

    15. ...if you don't, how many shoves do you call?
    16. Who is the most underated player in the community? Chris with some numbers at the end usually posts good cash advice but isn't really that well known - I don't recall seeing him play on the site either :S

    17. Dinner (and dessert) with Liv Boeree, or win a £1,000 cash pot from Phil Ivey? Liv Boeree if I was single for sure. As is, I guess I'll make do with the £1k :)

    18. Who will be the breakout community player for 2015? No idea! craigcu.

    19. Your teleportation device is on the fritz. Where would you rather be stuck?
         a) Antarctica
         b) Death Valley Death Valley - could survive the temperatures their as long as it's not middle of summer!

    20. What is your favourite (card) suit? Spades. Least favourite is hearts.

    23. I'd rather own the 'striped tomato' from Starsky and Hutch or the 'General Lee' from The Dukes of Hazzard? (People below thirty, please use Google)

    24. Who is the best contributor of the year? Tikay

    27. I'd fancy my chances most against:
          a) zombies Zombies for sure. 
          b) aliens

    28. Who is the Sky presenter of the year? Don't watch channel much anymore so can't really pick one.

    29. Who has been the best guest in 2014 on the Sky Poker Channel? See above

    30. The IDCU Award! Who is the community contributor you miss the most? Anyone that complains that the site is rigged and that they're never coming back. Man I miss them contributors.

    1. What is the most unconventional location you've ever played poker?
    On a cruise in the Caribbean
    2. Who is the community player you would most like to have a drink with?
    Apart from the players I've already shared a drink with... possibly Gelders.
    3. Which professional poker player would you most like to have a drink with?
    Phil Helmuth
    4. Your time machine is broken. When would you rather be stuck?
        a) 1899
        a) 1964
        b) 2073
    1964 - I'm a fan of the music, the fashion, and the... free love.
    5. Which community player would you most like to play live in a televised heads-up cash battle?
    liamboi11 - I'm fairly sure I could empty his pockets ;)
    6. What is your choice for Sky tournament of the year?
    The 9pm £55 Bounty Hunter is the best tournament on Sky.
    7. Who is the best community cash player?
    Never played him (obviously!) but style2737 is a bit of a demon! Of the ones I have played, gazza127 is probably the wiliest.
    8. Who is the best community MTT player?
    As much as it pains me to say, my leaderboard doesn't lie. It's MattBates.
    9. For the rest of your poker life you have to either:
        a) fold pocket aces pre-flop, or
        b) play 7-2 offsuit as if it was aces.
    Probably play 7-2. It would be more interesting and I'd definitely win a fair number of hands that way... and I'd still be winning with aces too.
    10. What is the best user name currently active on Sky Poker?
    Druidfluid
    11. Would you like the ability to change your user name - if so, to what?
    The ability would be all right, but I'd still keep mine.

    Purple.
    13. Have you ever played a genuine game of strip poker? (Any interesting stories will be appreciated)
    Unfortunately not.
    14. You hold AA in the first hand of the WSOP Main Event. Six people shove all-in before you. You are the last to act. Do you call?
    No.
    15. ...if you don't, how many shoves do you call?
    Probably two.
    16. Who is the most underated player in the community?
    Really tough question...
    17. Dinner (and dessert) with Liv Boeree, or win a £1,000 cash pot from Phil Ivey?
    Well winning a hand against Ivey would be good, but you could just get lucky... Dessert with Liv means I will definitely get lucky.
    18. Who will be the breakout community player for 2015?
    Hopefully Larson7... so I can claim to have helped 'create' his success ;)
    19. Your teleportation device is on the fritz. Where would you rather be stuck?
         a) Antarctica
         b) Death Valley
    Probably Antarctica. It's easier to get warm than it is to cool down.
    20. What is your favourite (card) suit?
    Hearts.
    21. What is your favourite (fabric) suit?
    Pin-striped.
    22. What is the forum thread of the year?
    Probably the 'In the Well' series that Tikay started.
    23. I'd rather own the 'striped tomato' from Starsky and Hutch or the 'General Lee' from The Dukes of Hazzard? (People below thirty, please use Google)
    Has to be Starsky's Gran Torino!
    24. Who is the best contributor of the year?
    I always enjoys Gelder's posts, and Malcolm's. I guess it depends on your definition of 'best' (and I wrote the question so you'd think I'd know!). I think I'll go for mrsduck, for the breath of fresh air she brought to the forum.
    25. How many poker sites do you play on regularly? (Names not required)
    Just the one.
    26. What is your favourite (poker) hand?
    A10
    27. I'd fancy my chances most against:
          a) zombies
          b) aliens
    I'd kick a whole lot of zombie butt on my way out!
    28. Who is the Sky presenter of the year?
    Sarah Champion - I miss her :(
    29. Who has been the best guest in 2014 on the Sky Poker Channel?
    I have a soft spot for Stapes.
    30. The IDCU Award! Who is the community contributor you miss the most?
    He didn't say much, but where's Diminuendo these days?
    31. I'd rather be reincarnated as:
         a) Elvis Presley
         b) Jesus
         c) Ron Jeremy
         d) MattBates
         e) Stephen King
         f) Albert Einstein
         g) Phil Helmuth
    I'm a massive Stephen King fan, but as far as leading an exciting life goes, I think it would have to be Elvis.
    32. What is the best poker advice you have been given? (Thirty words or less)
    Stick to playing chess ;)
    33. What is the average number of poker tables you play at one time?
    Three.
    34. Have you ever had a straight flush in live play?
    No. A full house with pocket aces is the best hand I've had.
    35. I'd rather be... Batman or Superman?
    Batman is the cooler guy by far.

    I'll break the replies into more manageable chunks if I may, 35 Q & A's is too much of a "wall of text".

    I should forewarn you, I'm famously tetchy, curmudgeonly & mardy before 10am every morning, so some of the replies may be a bit sharp, & I'll regret them later.


    1. What is the most unconventional location you've ever played poker?

    In a Palace in St Petersburg, Russia.


    2.
    Who is the community player you would most like to have a drink with?

    I don't touch alcohol, so it'd be a pot of tea. I'd probably choose my Plopper friends, they are all really decent people, & most all all, they take their bad beats like grown-ups.


    3. Which professional poker player would you most like to have a drink with?

    I can't think of any that appeal particularly. Queen Vicky, maybe, though I always get a little overawed when I'm with her, as she is so sharp minded.    


    4. Your time machine is broken. When would you rather be stuck?
    a) 1899
    a) 1964
    b) 2073

    1964. Oh my, I LOVED everything about 1964, it was a time when I was just finding my feet in life, everything seemed wonderful, & The Beatles "She Loves You" changed music, & "youth attitude", forever.  


    5. Which community player would you most like to play live in a televised heads-up cash battle?

    None in particular, though if you forced my hand, "Macacgirl1" probably, as she EXACTLY gets "the spirit of poker".



    6. What is your choice for Sky tournament of the year?

    I don't play NLH MTT's these days, but the various "Rollers" seem, to my mind, to be "proper poker". (Reasonable stack & structure, no gimmicks).  


    7. Who is the best community cash player?

    Depends how you define "best".   


    8. Who is the best community MTT player?

    See previous reply, but this one is slightly easier, & I'd select someone like "Rainman", who works tirelessly to promote the game, & is a genuine "recreational" who understands why we play poker - for fun. There are many other such examples, including all those who promote the DTD Monday night trilogy.   


    9. For the rest of your poker life you have to either:
    a) fold pocket aces pre-flop, or
    b) play 7-2 offsuit as if it was aces.

    I don't play online Hold 'Em these days, only 4 card variants.

    10. What is the best user name currently active on Sky Poker?

    Not sure about "best", but this one amused me. "TIKAYsucks"

    11. Would you like the ability to change your user name - if so, to what?

    No

    12. What is your favourite colour?

    No particular favourite, but if pressed, nature's favourite colour, green.
  • edited October 2014

    13. Have you ever played a genuine game of strip poker? (Any interesting stories will be appreciated)

    No. I've played Strip Ludo though. Most of us did daft things when we were young & spotty.  

    14.
    You hold AA in the first hand of the WSOP Main Event. Six people shove all-in before you. You are the last to act. Do you call?

    No

    15. ...if you don't, how many shoves do you call?

    2 max.

    16. Who is the most underated player in the community?

    No idea.

    17. Dinner (and dessert) with Liv Boeree, or win a £1,000 cash pot from Phil Ivey?

    I have no wish to do either.

    18.
    Who will be the breakout community player for 2015?

    He or she has not signed up yet.

    19. Your teleportation device is on the fritz. Where would you rather be stuck?

    b) Antartica.
    20. What is your favourite (card) suit?

    Dingleberries.

    21. What is your favourite (fabric) suit?

    Mohair


    22. What is the forum thread of the year?

    Easy one - GaryQQQ's Results Thread. People like Gary MAKE poker Communities what they are. Those guys who come on here & only EVER moan & groan, every Post do my head in. Imagine having them as a next door neighbour..... 

    23. I'd rather own the 'striped tomato' from Starsky and Hutch or the 'General Lee' from The Dukes of Hazzard? (People below thirty, please use Google)

    No matter how hard I try, I just cant bring myself to care. It's like those "In The Well" questions, "steak & kidney pie or pizzza?" Who cares?  


    24. Who is the best contributor of the year?

    Again, define "best". I would not have any single choice, but my shortlist would include the likes of GaryQQQ, Rainman, MAXALLY, Aussie09, & ALL those who actually DO SOMETHING to help make the community work, rather than just snipe, troll & moan. I can name you scores of people who have never made ONE positive post about anything. I also have a lot of time for those who carry big burdens in real life - children who are unwell for example - but are always cheerful on here. Not going to name them, but they know who I mean.
