As most of the people in this section of the forum (myself included) are beginners, my questions would be:
How did you get your start in poker?
and
What are some of the things you learned early on in your poker career that had a substantial impact on your game?

Tilt is poker cancer. You catch it, you die.

How aggressive were you when building your bankroll? Did you ever take irresponsible shots at higher limits? How many times did you go broke in the process? And how many times did you fail at going pro?
What would be the single BEST piece of advice you could give to a low-stakes player (<200NL) that hopes to one day be a regular at their tables?

If you could introduce a new poker game to online poker or change the rules of an existing game, what would it be?
If I have to choose, I would ask Barry or Daniel.

now this is what im talking about, obviously beginners make a ton of mistakes off the bat and listing the common ones is like reciting the alphabet. The question is which one is the most costly, either because its a hard habbit to break and you lose so much over the long run or it costs you big most of the time.

Well playing the cards and not the players is more of a fundamental flaw in that it will probably mean you missing out on opps to make money rather than directly costing you money.
The rest however, will directly cost you money the more you do them. Which one costs a player the most is surely down to their natural tendencies.

I would ask them how to react in a common situation that comes up: When your playing in a live cash game and you poop in your pants, how do you adjust to gain maximum EV? Should you go ahead and pee in your pants too to make sure you smell even worse and put everyone on tilt or should you ignore it and pretend like everyone is crazy when they ask you why you smell like poop. Usually if the poop is large enough you can really crush the table but sometimes if its liquidy you may have to play tighter until someone poops in their pants as well and then you can duke it out with them. Also is it worth it to just drop your pants and poop all over their chips on the felt or should you stick to the standard let it loose in ur pants technique, I'm not sure if its worth the risk or not.
aaaaaand your a moran - gmml

I really hope Vanessa gets this question.. Just the thought of her saying "poop" in a cute little voice does it for me.

"Once we reach a certain level of mastery, we see there are higher levels and challenges. If we are disciplined and patient, we proceed. At each higher level, new pleasures and insights await us--ones not even suspected when we started out. We can take this as far as we want--in any human activity there is always a higher level to which we can aspire."

I'd prefer to include Chris Ferguson on this Q - and more specifically on the long-term potentiality of good poker players continuing to earn decent profits. Will poker ever reach a point of "perfect competition", where the vast majority of players are largely break-even?

1: Why hasn't anyone set up a credit union for the online poker world? And when someone finally does. Could you put it off shore so you can deposit and withdraw freely and effortlessly?
2: In what types of situations have you made -EV plays for future larger +EV spots and why (tourneys).
3: Did you make the jump from poker into the stock market/other forms of investing? Did any of it help your poker game and how?
4: Do you meditate? Techniques?

Guys, thanks for your questions. Unfortunately, we will not be able to ask any direct questions, only general. I've went through all of our lists and came up with 5 general questions that will be asked. Hopefully some pros will come and share some insight!
Here is the Q&A thread - Celebrating 1 Million Posts with Team PokerStars!
Please be respectful.
