For Amanda -

How did you get so involved with poker? Where did your poker journey begin?
Do you play poker online?
Do you and your dad plan to repeat your 'Tag Team' performance this year at the wsop?
What other WSOP events do you plan to participate in?
What do you like to do most in what 'spare' time you have?

For Jennifer -

Before winning the 2005 WSOP Ladies Event, how did you get your start in poker?
What 2022 WSOP Events do you plan to play?
Given you are a movie star first, do you find that other poker players play differently against you?
Of all the televised or streamed Live Poker shows you have been a part of, which is your favourite?
You always seem to have a very positive and cheery outlook on life in general. How do you stay so positive? And is there anything that makes you angry?

6. Are there any poker players that you dream of beating?

For Dan and Byron -

Do you plan on setting up a booth at the WSOP this year? Where can people find you if they happen to be at the WSOP?
Which poker book is your best selling to date?

For Dan -

Given the variety of books you do publish, which game is the biggest seller? Do you

For Byron -

If you do not really care to play live poker, does that mean you have been known to play online poker? If so, what games do you play and where?

Hello!:ciao:
Questions for Dan Addelman and Bryan:

1. You guys are so different. One of you is better versed in poker because he plays, and the other is more passionate about marketing, advertising, and so on. How do you manage to work in tandem for so many years? Is it easy for you to agree among yourselves when making decisions?
2. Question to each one individually: do you have a favorite book among the books you have published that you really liked?
3. Today your publishing house is so well-known that, in my opinion, you are the main actors here: you decide what you will publish and what not. But I'm sure it was different: at the very beginning, when you were just climbing. Have the selection criteria changed? Were there any books that you agreed to publish just because you were noticed and approached?
4. The modern world is a world of digital technologies. People can get any information on the Internet. There are blogs, videos, articles, specialized websites. Is it difficult to remain in demand with such a big competition?
5. Why did you decide to start publishing audiobooks? Which is more popular today: printed books or audiobooks?
6. In the topic you have chosen, it is quite difficult to talk about the immortality of books. Your books, in my opinion, cannot be classified as immortal, because the information is updated from year to year and the existing data becomes outdated. Is there a bestseller among your books that was popular 10 years ago and now?
7. Do you have a development plan? Innovative ideas? You are expanding from year to year. What to expect from you in the future?
8. Do you have a story of an absolutely unknown author who gained popularity due to the fact that you decided to publish his book?
9. Would you like to speak at the WSOP with your team (D&B publishing house)? I think it would be a great marketing ploy: a publishing house that publishes books about poker wins a world event.
10. You always promote book authors and their books, but stay away. Do you think it matters in which edition the book was published?
11. Would you like to write a biography of your company?
12. Black Friday: was it a rise or fall in the development of your company?
13. You both have children. Would you like them to continue your work?
Thank you very much!:girl:

We just announced that we are starting a CardsChat podcast:

CardsChat is Launching a Podcast!


This thread is where you submit questions to ask podcast guests questions that we will answer during our weekly podcasts.

We will let you know in advance when we have a guest you can submit questions for.

Here are some ideas of questions you can submit that would be considered:

Guests - you can submit questions about their experiences in poker, strategy questions, what they are currently involved in - and just about anything you want to know about them.
This is nice. There are a lot of questions without answers. Thank you for the forum.

So this is just a thought....

I get logistically it might be difficult to do this but it would be neat if we had actual CC members ask the members questions is certain podcasts. Would be a great way to meet poker icons that are interviewed and involve the community even more in the podcast series

Can i ask questions for jennifer tilly? I adore her. This is one of my favorite female poker players! If I'm not late with my questions, here they are:
1. Does the profession of an actor help you in playing poker?)
2. How often did you get a combination of cards in poker - a royal flush?
3. You are a bright and beautiful woman. Does Phil get jealous of the male players next to you at the poker table?
4. Always wondered what kind of perfume do you usually wear? Unfortunately, the TV screen or monitor does not transmit the smell. When I watch a show with your participation, I always ask myself this question .
Thanks!💖💖💖

Involve community even more? So when you are going to be guest there :unsure:
Surely sooner (rather than later) some cardchat moderator and/or admin needs to make guest apperance in this podcast - they cant escape from it forever -.-
