Questions for John.

John, most players play only No limit, but you have won a Bracelet in Limit Omaha, Seven card stud and no limit. This is truly a amazing feat. Which one to you consider your great achievement to have won?

We know you are considered an Omaha specialist. What is it about that game that makes you some good at it?

I am guessing you have played against Stu Ungar. The stories of his playing ability are amazing. In your experience, was his hand reading and player reading capabilities really as good as the stories told about them?

John, you have played and won for years in both the old days of poker and the modern era, Which era would you have considered to have the best and toughest players.?

John, many of us love the stories from the early days. Would you be willing to share one of them?

2. All of the mixed games look like fun, is it too much to try to start with HORSE or should we learn one new game at a time?

Hello Miami" John Cernuto...
I have a question, if you would be so kind as to answer it... 🌹🌹
I have never played for real, but I have played a lot online. ..
The question is, do you really know the card from the reaction of the opponent's eyes?? Is there anyone who can control the reaction of his eyes, or is it an old habit, and now everyone has discovered it, and it is not possible for anyone to reveal the reaction of his eyes?

Hello.🙂
Thank you for this unique opportunity to get to know "Miami" John Cernuto better.🤗

Questions for "Miami" John Cernuto:

1. Your son also plays poker. What do you think of him as a player? Have you ever participated in any tournaments together and have you played against each other?

2. You have been playing poker for so long and it is obvious that poker is already an integral part of you. But is the excitement that brought you to the world of poker still there? Do you enjoy this amazing game as much as you did 40 years ago, or has it become something ordinary for you now and you look at poker as a job that you have to do?

3. How do you feel about men taking part in women's tournaments? Do you think that if it is not prohibited, then it is normal and would you participate in women's tournaments?

4. You have several bracelets and it's really impressive, because you got them for winning different types of poker, which indicates your professional versatility in poker. Enough time has passed since you received your last bracelet. What can you say about the current wsop? Have there been more strong players or maybe the tournaments themselves have become more difficult? Are you planning to participate this year?

5. There is quite a lot of discussion about which type of poker is more promising and what kind of poker is the future. But what kind of poker, in your opinion, has exhausted itself today, or maybe even "died out"?

Thank you again 🌺🌺🌺

Hello John, I'm really glad they finally got you to come to CC podcast.

I just want to know if it's a good idea to play both cash and tourneys or just one and stay away from the other.

Questions for Leon Wheeler,

Hi Leon,

Even I'm not from US I'm following the American football when I have the time. Are you still a Cowboys fan? Do you think that in this new season they do better, can they reach the Super Bowl final ?

I have some friends in Dallas that each year they say that "This is our year " ;)

Questions for Leon,

Q1) You came very close to winning a bracelet in 2002 and 3. That must have been heartbreaking. Do you plan of playing much in this year's WSOP?

Q2) A lot of us talk about pokers future here and wonder how things are going in the live game world. How are the casinos doing with Live poker and are they back to where we were before Covid hit?

Q3) We have also talked about the possibility of the casinos replacing dealers in the future with automatic tables. In your opinion, do you think there is a real possibility of this happening someday in the future?

Q4) A lot of the casinos have poker tournament during the WSOP. Will Resorts world be having a poker series this summer when the WSOP is going on?

Thank you.

Just a heads up - we love that so many of you are asking questions now! To help us try to use as many as possible we need to limit the number of questions to a maximum of 3 per member going forward. :)

We can't ask all of them so want to give every member a better chance at getting at least 1 of their questions asked.

Hello LEON
How are you?
There is a question about the time. How do you organize your time if there are two tournaments at the same time? Do they participate in the two, or dispense with one for the sake of the other?
