    Great idea. I'm not normally one for watching streams or listing to podcasts and such, so not really familiar with twitch.

    Will this podcast be available to listen/watch afterwards?

    As for some general questions to ask the Master himself, erm...

    Do you listen to music whilst you play? Or what type of music do you like? Any all time favourite artists/bands? Songs/Albums?

    Favourite meal?

    Favourite movie/actors?

    Favourite drink? (do you drink energy drinks or lots of coffee etc to help stay awake when playing long sessions?)

    Most embarrassing moment?

    Thanks!

    The video will be available to watch on demand on my Twitch channel for 14 days after after the live broadcast. I'm also intending to upload it to YouTube but I don't yet have a channel of any kind there to give a link for (I'll add it to this thread once done).

    Twitch seems to be growing in popularity and is a great place for some high quality poker content (not so much me but rather some actual proper poker players showcasing their skills!). Its USP compared to YouTube is that it is all live and the direct interaction available with the streamers makes for a fun dynamic. It's all completely free to watch but you will need to sign up for a free account if you want to use any of the chat features.

    This should be interesting! Be good to get it on Youtube!

    Id be interested to know?

    Do you play full time or part time? If full time - how and why did you decide to go full time? If part time - how do you fit poker around your job and still have time for other things?

    :)

    I've seen you very active on spin ups of late, is this for the rake race or is it actually practice in case you ever get down to 10 bigs in an MTT ? ;-)

    In an attempt to get some extra bums on seats I’ve been billing Matt as some kind of sick crusher. It would be a shame to undo all that hard work by me embarrassing him heads up ;).

    Is there any chance Matt could 1 table the main and talk through his thinking etc, whilst answering the qs with you on the side?

    Its pretty simple...
    Bet because you have it and think you will get called.
    Bet because you think you will get called, you don't have it but will get there.
    bet because you think they will fold and you don't have it and wont get there.

    Hoping its interactive and already is quite a lot of questions and hopefully will be more during the stream (along with some drinking!) and I think me playing would get in the way of that.

    Can you still fit into your gymnastics leotard? Given the choice of giving up poker or losing a finger which do you choose? Where do you disappear to when its your round? Do you say "do you know who i am?"when dinner doesn't arrive on time?

    I met you at the Birmingham SPT. My memory isn't what it was, how did you finish up?

    Timmyrara once became a plo pro for a few days. Have you ever thought about dabbling in other formats?

    If you could remove the chat facility for two players on the site who would they be?

    Who is your favourite member of the sky poker staff past or present?

    Will try and tune in live, if not will definitely watch back.
    Some questions (apologies if already asked) :
    How much time do you spend studying and what do you use to study (ICMizer, pio, etc)?
    How did you get into poker?
    What do you enjoy outside of poker?

    Could you ask Matt to talk us through his run in the 2015 WSOP Main Event?

    I'll tune into this tonight and have a few questions about ambition and switching from cash to MTT.

    Q. When you start having bad runs what helps you maintain your ambition to continue the most?

    Q how many MTTs do you play roughly each month

    Q.Do you have an idea of an estimated average on how much money you can make as a MTT player.

    QAs a person who can now beat nl50 with decent table selection and struggling to table select well on nl100+ would now be a great time for me to switch over from cash to MTT?
