In a departure from my usual fare, this coming Monday I'll be welcoming Sky Poker MTT endboss Matt Bates to the stream as my first ever podcast guest.
If there is anything in particular you guys would like me to ask him then just let me know. I can't promise that every single query posted in here will be put to the man himself, but it will help give me a better idea of what kind of things people would like to see us discuss.
If it goes well and there is an appetite for more then I'll try and convince a few other Sky Poker legends to join me for a natter at some point.
I'll be going live at my usual time of 18:30 on Monday with some casual cash game action before Matt joins the stream at 19:30. For any of you that have somehow managed to escape all my spamming so far, it will be taking place here: https://twitch.tv/duesenberg123
@Tikay10 I hope you don't mind me creating a separate thread for this. I figured it might appeal to a few people who may otherwise not be interested in my usual streaming nonsense. I will of course completely understand if you'd rather move this to my existing streaming thread.

It's absolutely fine, the ideal way to promote it. Hope it goes well, I'm sure it will.
How come you always have it, or always get there?
What is the biggest tip you could give to a player who is actually trying to improve their game?
What part of your own game do you think you need to work on?
Is there anyone on Sky Poker that makes you sigh when they join your MTT table?
Obviously you have experience of being on TV already.... so would you ever consider streaming?
Questions for Matt.
1. How much is he paying you?
2. Whats your biggest score online and also live?
3. Any hobbies away from Poker? If so, please can you give them a bit more of your time?
4. How much study do you put in on an average week, and what kind of study do you find most beneficial?
All the best for Monday, looking forward to it.
Matt, how do you think about moving up stakes as a crusher at various levels, do you have ambitions to move up or think about BRM or taking shots at all?
I like all the boring stuff like how you got into poker and when/why you decided to go pro. Heard carbon copies of these answers on countless poker podcasts and they still never fail to make me happy.
ie, how do you grind full session until the early hours and be up for work (accounting/finance?) day in day out?!
1)Have you ever played professionally on other sites, or has it always exclusively been sky?
2) Do you use any GTO type softwares pio/monker etc, or does your study consist more of equity calcs and ICM stuff?
3) Have you ever had issues with tilt, if so, how did you overcome this? and major +1 to this
Does your height have any impact on your poker?
Is u height the reason u struggle with live poker cant reach chips etc?
If u was a plant what plant would u be?
Any thought on trump or brexit?
How do u play JJ?
Q - Does Bates “celebrate” big flip wins on online tournies (fist pump, little yes under the breath sort of thing)? Or is he an emotionless drone now?
Q - Does Bates wish to continue crushing poker for the foreseeable? Or is he looking for ways to “get out” as it were?
Q - assuming Bates isn’t playing on Monday night, are you paying him the value of a nightly Bates MTT schedule?
1. Ever had poker coaching yourself? If so what was it like and how beneficial did you find it ?
2. For the dramas, please rank your top 5 sky regs and why (MTT format)?
3. Do you remember what it was like to not have the best hand at showdown?
Looking forward to the stream !
