What is underneath your bed?
Shoes. My wife has plastic shoe box containers holding dozens of shoes in separate compartments. Yes, the entire area under the bed. Yes, THAT many shoes and that is not even all of them. All the closets are full too. What is it with women and shoes?
What is your biggest pet peeve at the poker table?
Slow rolling. Faldo always tables his cards if not last to act – and may be first even if in position if holding the nuts. Ungracious winners come in second.
Do you prefer cash games or tourneys, and internet/live play?
Multi-table tourneys on the internet and second is private cash games. Third is the casino ring games and fourth is home tourneys. A distant 5th is internet ring play.
If you could download one poker player’s brain, who would it be?
That’s easy. Daniel Negreanu. Next pick would be Eric Siedel.
What is your favorite dish at a Mexican restaurant?
Chicken enchiladas, beans and rice dinner.
If you had a theme song, what would it be?
“My Way” by Frank Sinatra or Elvis Presley
What is your favorite food?
Steak, then chicken wings, then ribs.
Where do you stand politically?
I believe in our Constitution and the restricted government and guaranteed rights declared in it – which one national party pretends to be in favor of, while the one in power now flat out is trying to destroy it. Politically, I stand next to my guns, rights and property. Deep down I think most people already have decided whether to fight and die or live in chains. They just pretend they have not.
Besides what you do for a living or playing poker for a living, what would you have liked to do for a living?
I think I would have been a fine judge. I know what is right, wrong and legal - and could still decide what is right.
What is the highest stakes you ever played for?
$10 – 20 ring in a private game and $20-40 ring in a casino. And I think my nose bled when I did it. I’m not a high roller.

Really Faldo? Internet over home games? What has this world come to? It takes little skill to play Internet poker of ANY kind. It is NOTHING more than pure percentages. It is your type of play but playing people is so much more fun than playing percentages. That's just my opinion I guess.

Well now I have to defend my selections. Note how I had them grouped.
MTT's on the internet is my SLIGHT favorite for the pure volume and conveinence (35%). Home games (30%) are tough to pull together. Right Matchy?
Casino ring (15%) Home (10%) and Casino tourneys(7%) are next.
Internet ring is last (3%).
And I don't know about percentages being my type of play. It took me 5 hours to do the math above.
I wish I liked internet over home games, it just don't work for me. I swear I have more fun losing $60 to you guys in a basement than winning 12.50 in some sit-n-go. Playing the person is great, but so is talking and laughing with the person.
I would have to say that it's not ALL percentages online...while a lot of it is just "math"...it's still fun when your deep in an online tourney to steal pot, squeeze from SB with 22, and watch em fold. pick people off that are "making moves, bluffs" sometimes it's just so obvious online...however i don't agree more that it is a lot of fun to play live...it really is playing the player. (and running wel)
GL all on tuesday..gotta keep K9 from walking away with it.
