For Greg -
Out of ALL the tournaments you have won or cashed, which one would you consider your biggest accomplishment?

Who is your poker hero?
You have degrees in both BioChemistry and Law. Which interests you more?
Pet peeves - do you have any? what are they?

For Kevin -
How did you get into poker?
If anyone follows your Twitter feed, they would have to notice you are definitely one who has their finger on the pulse of anything poker. How do you do it?
What would you consider to be your proudest poker moment?
If you could choose to live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
If you were to sing karaoke, what song would you sing? 🙂

Low pocket pairs
Hey guys, I am pretty new to CardsChat and have already found myself learning a lot about the game of poker. My question for the CardsChar podcast is, How should I play low to mid pocket pairs? I find myself limping in with these pocket pairs or folding to a raise pre flop and if I don't hit on the flop its usually a fold for me unless I have the overpair. Thus, I was wondering if you had any advice on how to play these hands.
Thanks!

Jeff is a commentator not a poker player. Also if you ask strategy questions they need to be more specific - pocket pairs can be played so many different ways that specifics would be important for a question like that. (game type, buy-in, position on the table, any reads on players etc)
Thanks for giving it a go though! 🙂
