Questions for Tom Wheaton:

---

1. Usually everyone tells that in one way or another they got acquainted with poker, that they liked this game and they fell in love with it. I'm sure we'll hear your story in this podcast.
But please tell us about the most vivid impression that became a trigger mechanism for you: when did you realize that you not only want to devote your life to poker and the poker industry, but can you really do it?

---

2. What moral and ethical principles do you adhere to when playing poker and doing business: are they different or are the principles that are important to you in poker also important to you in business?

---

3. What do you think is the secret of the success of your card brand? Today there are so many options and they are very different from the most ordinary to designer ones. But, what was in your cards that wasn't in the others? Was your success due to your incredible knowledge in the field of marketing, or was it a lucky combination of circumstances?

---

4. Your company organizes incredible events. What is the key to the success of your team? What are you focused on? In what, in your opinion, have you reached the peak and are absolute leaders and what, in your opinion, needs to be refined and improved?

---

5.And, of course, I can't help but ask. 😅How do you feel about women's poker: do you participate in any programs to attract women to poker and, if so, in which ones?

---

Thank you again 🌺🌺🌺

Thank you, Mr. Wheaton and all the best in your pursuits!
