The 2014 Community Questionnaire...

SlipwaterSlipwater Member Posts: 3,660
edited December 2014 in Poker Chat
Hi folks,

As 2014 eases into its final quarter I thought it would be interesting to get a few community opinions and perhaps to get some of you thinking a little outside the box.

So, with that in mind here's a little ten minute diversion. The questions are generally quite simple, and the answers won't hurt. There are a few non-poker related ones just for giggles, but it's er... mostly on point.

I wanted to ask for responses via PM but now fear that certain corners of the community will take that to mean I wish to market said secret replies and somehow turn this little moment of fun into something more lucrative.

So... post away!

***

1. What is the most unconventional location you've ever played poker?
2. Who is the community player you would most like to have a drink with?
3. Which professional poker player would you most like to have a drink with?
4. Your time machine is broken. When would you rather be stuck?
    a) 1899
    a) 1964
    b) 2073
5. Which community player would you most like to play live in a televised heads-up cash battle?
6. What is your choice for Sky tournament of the year?
7. Who is the best community cash player?
8. Who is the best community 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.
10. What is the best user name currently active on Sky Poker?
11. Would you like the ability to change your user name - if so, to what?
12. What is your favourite colour?
13. Have you ever played a genuine game of strip poker? (Any interesting stories will be appreciated)
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?
15. ...if you don't, how many shoves do you call?
16. Who is the most underated player in the community?
17. Dinner (and dessert) with Liv Boeree, or win a £1,000 cash pot from Phil Ivey?
18. Who will be the breakout community player for 2015?
19. Your teleportation device is on the fritz. Where would you rather be stuck?
     a) Antarctica
     b) Death Valley
20. What is your favourite (card) suit?
21. What is your favourite (fabric) suit?
22. What is the forum thread of the year?
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?
25. How many poker sites do you play on regularly? (Names not required)
26. What is your favourite (poker) hand?
27. I'd fancy my chances most against:
      a) zombies
      b) aliens
28. Who is the Sky presenter of the year?
29. Who has been the best guest in 2014 on the Sky Poker Channel?

     b) Jesus
     c) Ron Jeremy

    i just don't get it
    the only real question is "alien or tiara" surely. 

    Seriously though, you want peeps to provide all this information to you on a confidential basis and then what? You're going to sell it to advertisers? exploit players favourite hands? And as for dessert with Liv! is that another of your !-buddy activities - maybe you are useful for something after all. But do we really need another thread trying to get forum members to provide something for nothing, to be sent to someone that for all we know doesn't actually exist given how much heartache that has caused everyone in the last few days?

    is this, Slipwater, behaviour and notions that everyone reckons is good? 

    And does anyone know what I'm trying to say?

    Simply to make it less open to suggestion, and in case some folk don't want their responses publicised... but as I said in the OP, I get that certain factions will wish to post openly.

    Hi footsie, 

    Apologies, you were the one person i expected to upset with my post, given  what you have recently been through, but i fancied some community banter with Slipwater and others.  and as you know you can't please everybody.

    If you wish to have a serious discussion, footsie, then we can do so. I've already asked you once, and you ignored the request. It would be interesting to hear exactly how a blatantly tongue-in-cheek forum poll could be used to export data to nefarious sources.

    I appreciate you are stinging from our exchanges on another thread, but let's leave the toys in the pram, eh?

    Thanks Slippy,

    now can you please decode my message to you in the last two posts so others don't misinterpret it. For a wordsmith of your quality it should only take a second or two.
