Thanks so much for your time Barry!

What's your favourite food?

Favourite TV series?

Is there one hand of poker you've played which was particularly memorable, either in a good way or a bad way?

Do you think Phil Hellmuth sets a good example for poker players/a good ambassador for the game or should he tone down some of his outbursts?

Coming from the Midwest, steak and potatoes was often my evening meal. My most memorable dinner was with my sister Sandie at La Foie Gras restaurant at the Loew's Monte Carlo in 1979. We had Chateaubriand and Grand Marnier soufflé. She shared them with me, even though she was a vegetarian at the time, and was lactose intolerant. She said the soufflé was so pure (whatever that means) that it's the only time she didn't have an adverse reaction to dairy.

When I was a kid we watched Bonanza. Since I've become an adult I've learned to hand over the remote to my girlfriend and watch her crime shows and sci if with her, except when I want to watch some live sports.

My most memorable hand is my AK beating QQ for 70% of the chips in play at the WPT event I won in 2004.

I'm not always comfortable with people who act badly at the poker table but it seems that viewers enjoy watching emotional players on TV, even if it's so they can root against them.
