In The Big Game III, Neil was making some big over bets with air and generally playing pretty loose but in games that i've watched him on since then he has played a much tighter style of play.
My question is if Neil has changed from a maniac to a nit, what was the thinking behind it and has it improved his results?
Also, in The Big Game IV, Neil came up against the wild and crazy play of Viffer who pretty much owned the table.
Does Neil like or dislike playing against this sort of player who can have any two cards and will be making lots of raises, and how would he recommend playing against this style?
Does wearing a Judo suit chafe if your sitting down for a long session of poker ? I ask this as I'm currently doing jujitsu down my local leisure centre and I want to go straight to the casino to play in one of the cash games.
1) Who is the worst player you have ever staked?
2) Out of 10, how much do you enjoy wearing the Karate outfit when you play for Black Belt?
Cheers,
Nick
1) Are you going to be playing a tourney on sky like other guests have done?
2) When you have played your long cash games how do you keep with it so to speak? do you drink alot of energy drinks to get you through it, also how do you prepare your mindset for the long grind?
Look forward to the show
Any hands we show will have Neil's analysis of your play all over it!
Q for Neil
As poker players tend to be mad as a bag of frogs at the best of times doing things like dying their hair blonde for promotion purposes "TK" , to wearing judo suits .
What's the best prop bet you have seen & and has anyone ever said NO that's to mad ? Details please .
Have a great show tonight. Really looking forward to it :-)
I read a great article on Neil that stated he didn't take up the offers to appear on any TV poker events for a while in the early days. The article eluded to it helping Neil to stay under the radar of alot of players he was facing in tournaments/cash games.
If this was true, did it help in anyway and do you think it's harder to play against players once they know of you and what you're capable of ?
question. Neil what techniques do you use to stay calm in a tourny when you have done all the correct abc of poker but some idiot calls you down with a bad starting hand?
My question for Channers is this....
Which has made you more money...
1) Winning at poker
2) Running your own poker skin
3) Staking others that have won you money at poker
Also, which of the three brings you the most satisfaction!!

1) Keeping fit is obviously an inherent part of being a black belt in the arts do you keep fit, if so does this add anything to your poker?
2) Have you ever thought of giving up poker if so when and why?
3) What are your poker goals for 2011? (if not already asked)

Looking forward to hearing Mr Channing's opions, hopefully he will be commenting on my final table play.
Quick question for him.
As a recreational player who is a very modest winner at nl30 I find the prospect of winning a decent MTT as very appealing. Despite trying on numerous occassions I seem to struggle to take my winning cash game play on to the MTT tables and was after one piece of advice as to what makes the difference between a winning cash player and a winning MTT player.
Cheers, have a good one.
is there a room in the show for a specific question about judo outfits or will this topic be covered in an emporer's new clothing thread on the forum?

This should be my departing moment!!
Only real question here is, how much does the 'free' bounty at stake figure into calculations here? Making the bet preflop, I know I'm looking like I'm trying to steal the bounty, so should I make it more to try harder to isolate, with intention to call a shove, knowing people are playing much lighter? On the flop, with a decent redraw, I was happy to get the stack in again with the knowledge that people will suspect me of trying to steal the bounty- was calling off a little loose here?
I think without the bounty at stake I'm much less inclined to play this as aggressively, so is factoring that bounty in a mistake?
Loving the show and analysis from Neil, question for you- do you actually practice Judo or is it just a gimmick, and why did you do it for the first time (I'm sure you've been asked this like oh, a million times, sorry!)
