    This Thursday evening, Jake and I will interview Full Tilt Poker pro Mike Matusow in conjunction with the FTOPS XIX, which begins this Sunday and boasts more than $22,000,000 Guaranteed over the course of 45 events.



    If you would like to submit a question for Mike, please post in this thread before 2:30pm ET Thursday in order to ensure we get it on the show.

    As a separate note to our listeners, we are still coordinating with paulgees81 to get his replies to listener questions submitted in this thread, and hope to have that interview available over the weekend as well.

    How have you tamed your emotional blowups at the table?

    Do you consider yourself one of the best poker players in the world?

    How much did you lose?

    *Use (or edit) whatever questions you see fit for the interview if any*

    Where do you see poker in 1 year, 3 years and 5 years down the road. How do you think regulations and new legislation ultimately effect the game in the United States.

    A follow up question would be how have you prepared for different possible outcomes? What have you or have you not done to prepare? I have a regular full time job, but I know if I played professionally that I would take as much advice on this topic as I could get.

    Given your seniority and marketability what kind of pull do you have with FTP if any? What are your views on the spins Full Tilt has implemented like Rush and Multi-Entry Tournaments?

    How would you sell Deepstacks U to the casual, but serious player? What kind of market are you aiming for and what kind of results have you seen from past and present students?

    Recently Daniel Negreanu has written that modern poker has passed some of the long-time famous players by, and that is why the public perception of their results have suffered. Meanwhile, Annie Duke is attempting to start a new poker league for "professional" poker players, suggesting that famous players are the key to mainstream success in poker. Do you agree with Daniel, that the internet has fueled these young unknown players making major TV finals, or with Annie that the lack of marketing is keeping famous names from TV?

    If US laws are passed to allow poker, and the major current poker sites are locked out for a few years...

    Has there been any (alot?) of planning (or talk) by the major name pro's to capitilize on what might happen in the US since customers may shift away from playing so much on the current larger sites?

    Is it something talked about witin the circle of huge names or is it really of little concern right now?

    Mike, where do you see poker as a whole going in the next 5 years?

    In your opinion, what are the chances that online poker will be legal in the USA in the next 5 years?

    How much tail do you think you get mike? As in estimate the amount of shags per year (spy) you think you get. Dry humping doesn't count. Hottest shag? most famous shag? Oldest shag (Don't lie mike)? Weirdest shag experience? Best shag experience? Have you ever shagged at the table? Handjob or blowjob at the table? If so, could you tell us about it? Who was your first shag? most amount of shags in a day? Who do you want to shag the most? Have you ever been in love mike? If so, how does the shagging differ from, let's say, just a random hot piece of ass? Finally, what do you think about slowrolling? Do you slowroll?

    Mike just read Annie Dukes blog, can you elaborate more on your conversation with her and or the table about how hold em has become a no fold em game?

    How religious our you? I am a reform Jew for what its worth. Has it ever interfered with your playing and/or relationships with your family?

    How do you feel about someone like Ari "BodogAri" Engel completely skipping the main event because of the high holidays/sabbath not sure which?

    I once played with Nick Binger at a WSOPC and he said something along the lines of "You might talk more then Matusow".. Should I take that as a compliment considering you were who I tried to emulate my first couple years of playing?

    What was your "aha" moment when you knew that you could compete at the highest levels? And what brought about that moment? Were you studying the game alone or with others at the time?

    do you think you would have the success you do without that big freaking mouth? how much a part of your game is your table talk and do you attribute any of your success to it?
