Speak for yourself - a lot of us are well aware of who Chris Wallace is. Also - keep in mind that the CC forum is just a small part of the audience for our podcasts. Not to say we will never have a member on it - but most of the listeners would have no idea who they are if we ever do.

[Shells]

For Gary -

With all of your experience opening poker rooms and travelling the world, what would you say is the most memorable (whether good or bad)?

What's left on your bucket list as far as your work is concerned?

I've seen several videos showcasing Resorts World, Las Vegas and just itching to visit someday. Is there any single part of Resorts World that you find most impressive? What is it?

If you weren't travelling the world and putting your stamp on the poker world, what do you think you would be doing for a living?

If you have any 'free time' what do you like to do?
