    Default questions for max "numbr2intheworld" steinberg



    max won his first wsop bracelet in event 33 taking home $440k. he is also going strong in event 53, sitting in the middle of the pack with 28 players left and 1st place paying over $700k. day 3 starts today so gl to him there!

    ftr will be interviewing max later this week - what would you like to ask him? the questions don't have to be related to the wsop, it can be about his poker career, or just general questions.

    Can you recall the specific moment in the tourney where you felt like you could take the win home?

    What's the stupidest question anyone's ever asked you in these interviews?

    If he replies "That one" I'll donate ten bucks to charity.

    What's the consensus amongst higher stakes online and live players as far as online poker and the possibility of a second boom? Is online dead long term?

    What was the luckboxiest hand of the tourney that you won?

    What is your guess at the breakdown of political leanings among professional poker players (e.g. dem/rep/lib/const/etc), and what do you perceive to be the underlying motivation for individuals who lean in those particular directions?

    What's your drink(s) of choice at the table?
    So you click their picture and then you get their money?

    What adjustments (mental or otherwise) do you make going from multi-tabling online to sitting at one table for long periods while playing live?

    Canada; the country all tucked away down there...
    Did you do any annoying talking to try and tilt someone/gain info or are you quiet at the table?

    What is the most common leak/mistake that you see in big live tournaments?

    Approximately how often is a physical tell a factor when you make a decision?

    Coming from an online background, what motivates you to play in big live tournaments like these? Profit? Fame? Bit of variety?

    Also on a scale of 93% to 100% how much of your win do you attribute to FlopTurnRiver, a Poker Strategy Forum where Online Texas Hold Em Strategy is discussed and the Best Poker Room Reviews are to be found?

    How do you adjust to hand reading live vs online, and the fact that live ranges seem way wider?

    I've asked two stupid questions, thought I should ask something reasonably serious.
