CardsChat Interview with Patrik Antonius - Need Questions!

Patrik Antonius has agreed to do an exclusive interview with CardsChat! We are very fortunate that he is willing to take time to do this since he will be in Vegas playing wsop events.

We need some good questions for him - we are only going to submit the best 10 questions so please make them good.

So - most of the questions I would have will not be submitted lol.

Like - "Are you free for dinner while I am in Vegas?"

"How do you feel about dating older married women?" (just kidding Joe lol)

On a serious note put on your thinking caps and let us know what you want to know about Patrik!

What is the one piece of advice that you were given, or the one thing that you learned, that significantly changed your momentum from struggling amateur to successful poker pro?

If you could play 6max with any 5 people, living or not, who would they be, and why?

What is the #1 mistake that you see people making again and again at the table?

Since losing the bet to Roland and having to wear a bath robe to a WPT event, are you now a fan of Bellagio's orange juice... or do you prefer concentrate?

What are your plans for the next 10 years? Do you see yourself playing poker still?

Who are your friends/ enemies in the poker world?

How do you feel about a 'shot clock' for tournaments?

Do you play live cash games for the game or for the prop bet action ?

How did you start playing poker?

Oh my, that's amazing! Glad to see CardsChat bigger and bigger.

Online or live?

Is poker, in your opinion, going downhill, or the opposite, gaining new constant players everyday and poker is getting bigger?

If you could go back and change 1 thing in your early poker career, what would it be?

I've never seen you wear glasses or a hat to try to hide any part of your face mask any tells. Do you think sunglasses, funky glasses (Greg Raymer), big hats or hoodies have any place at the poker table?

The popularity of poker seems to be on the wane in the U.S. due to a series of factors (shutdown of poker stars being perhaps No. 1, individual states legalizing poker, but no cohesive national plan, etc.). The number of players in the WSOP Main Event has gone down each of the last three years. What can be done to create another surge of interest in the U.S.?

Is Phil Hellmuth as obnoxious in real life as he seems to be on TV?

How can I learn to be dreamy like you?

woah that's awesome antonius is a legend!!

How did you first get into playing poker and how long was it before you realised you had a knack for the game?

What is most you've won/lost in a single session?

If you could play heads up against any player past or present who would it be and why?

wow, he is a great player.

ask a question:

Do you use trackers when playing on line, esp high stack online poker?

Ok my question to Mr. Patrick Antonius is - "You must have made a lot of prop bets so far in life and done a lot of silly things to win them. What is your worst prop bet experience or the one prop bet that you wish you never made ?"

What makes you happiest poker or a beautiful woman??

How fair is it to say you've been more successful in cash games than in tournaments, and if it is fair, to what degree and in what ways is your greater cash game success due to your playing style being better suited to it?

What are the most important qualities that differentiate elite high-stakes players from winning players at the mid, small and micro levels?

If you were hired to teach a complete beginner how to play cash games, how would you begin? What would be different if the person wants to make a living from poker vs. if he or she just wants to play recreationally.

What poker variants are best suited for short-stack style play?

Hi, Mitä kuuluu? ..... You are a solid player....I like your approach to poker.

What goes through your mind when you are making a big decision for a lot of money at the table?

What player do you like see playing poker? Why?

What were your approximate winnings/losses after your first year playing online poker, were you crushing online poker immediately or were you a losing player for some time?

And how quickly did you advance up the stakes at the beginning of you career?

Didnt he play Pro Tennis ???

If so, Maybe ask about the lifestyle changes & how it affected him, his family & the like.

Another great interview for CC! My questions:
Do you study the game? If so, how do you learn?
What aspect of your game would you most like to improve?
What do you see yourself doing 5 years from now?
Where is your favorite place to live?

Scandinavian players earned a reputation as fearless and wild when you first came to public attention (Yourself, Hansen et al.). Online play in Europe sees nations like Russia and others produce many very aggressive players. What are your thoughts on this, and do you think Scandinavian players still have this edge today? Do you think this pattern is part of the games natural evolution?

you ask, as you start your game in the tournament, is aggressive? or expect the good cards? what is your style of play?

How does tournament poker compare to tournament tennis?

Who's crazier: tennis moms (parents) or poker fans?

Do you ever use modeling poses to intimidate opponents?

Hi Patrik, what do you consider your greatest achievement in poker?

Best wishes

Daniel
