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. 🙂

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

The format of the podcast immediately took a different turn - I forgot that was even in there. Originally he was going to answer general questions after the guest interviews but the guest interviews are quite lengthy and we ditched that part.
 
For Jan:
Q: What initially drew you to move to Vegas to deal poker, versus playing poker?
Q: Back in your early dealing days, what was the craziest thing you saw at a poker table?
Q: What is the oddest and the most fascinating poker stat you have come across?
Q: Will poker and cruises ever be a big deal again given how the landscape has changed with online poker and COVID?
 
Can we get some quick questions for Gary Hager - the poker room manager for the brand new casino Resorts World in Las Vegas?

Need them asap - interview is today!
 
For Gary:
Q: What has been the biggest challenge in getting the poker room open at a brand new resort?
Q: What do you hope will be the one thing poker players remember about playing in your room?
Q: Why should a 1/2 or 2/5 poker player play at Resorts over other rooms on the Strip?
Q: Do you hope to have a big name series come through like WPT?
Q: What initially drew you to joining Resorts LV?
Q: if there is one thing you could change about the poker industry what would it be?
 
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?
