Angela,
You have been quoted as saying " I've been around the game a long time so I don't have unrealistic expectations of this, I know this is not sustainable and that I'm running well above EV, but I'm just enjoying it".

It sounds like you have made the transition from "I don't know that I don't know" to "I know that I know".

Can you describe when you realized that? Was it something that happened over a period of time and you didn't realize what was going on or did the lightbulb come on with a click and you had that euphoria moment?

Questions for Adam Pliska:

---

1. I read that before poker you were engaged in producing, and then suddenly decided to switch to law. In one of the interviews, you said that you were done with producing because of a girl: you chose to go to Berkeley with her. Then you had an interesting and inflated career, but it is interesting to continue your romantic act. Are you still together with the one for whom you abruptly changed your life?

---

2. Is there something in EPT and wsop that you don't have, but it attracts you and you would like to develop it in WPT? And what do you think you are doing well in comparison with EPT and WSOP?

---

3. If you look at the history of WPT, then for about 7 years you worked without profit. What motivated you to continue this business? Was it wish seen success in the long run and were there moments when you despaired?

---

4. You were at the very origins of the creation of WPT and went all the way in this company. You've seen everything and everyone. How many employees have changed? Are there any veterans who have been with you all this way?

---

5. What parameters are important for you when organizing tournaments, deciding whether to create new ones or reduce existing ones? What do you pay attention to first? And what is less important?

---

6. In your opinion, how good is the marketing move involving poker professionals in the company? how profitable was it 10 years ago and what can you say about today?

---

7. They write so much about you, but what can you say about yourself? Who is Adam Pliska? What do you think of yourself as an employee and as a person outside of work?

---

8. I think you are definitely proud of WPT, but is there something inside that causes a special feeling of pride?

---

9. How does WPT treat players? Do you take into account their wishes and opinions when organizing the next event?

---

10. Do you have any slogan or motivating phrase or word that you use in your company when communicating with employees (not public, but only between employees)

---

Thank you very much 🌺🌺🌺

I thought that Angela gave one of the best Podcast that I have seen in a long time. She was sincere and honest and what you seen is what you get.

I try to be thoughtful and give a well thought out Q, but I think that Chica Bonita gave the best Q when she asked Angela did she ever dedicate a win to someone and she got all teary eyed talking about her Dad being a big influence and wearing her final table hats so that he could talk about her.

 

[CRStals]

For Andrew (if it's not too late):
Q: What do you remember about being sponsored by Full Tilt that stayed with you?
Q: You just had your second 7 figure cash at the Super High Roller Bowl. When you are playing for that kind of money, how do you need to alter your strategy aganist opponents like Daniel N?
Q: What do you see as your next big poker goal?
Q: Looking back ,what has been the best piece of advice you have ever been given?

 

[CRStals]

For Adam:
Q: When you took over the WPT in 2019 what was the #1 thing you wanted to achieve with the brand?
Q: If you look to the future, where do you hope the WPT gets to in the next 3-5 years?
Q: There has been a lot of investment by the WPT in both WPT Global and the World Championshp this December. What are you hoping to achieve with this investment and, if everything goes well, what do you the World Championship looks like in 2030?
Q: Why do you consider the WPT a 20 year old start-up?

We are now taking questions for partypoker Ambassador Patrick Leonard. And don't have an interview date yet.

 

[Chica_bonita]

Hello!🙋‍♀️💞

Questions for Patrick Leonard:

---

1. During the pandemic, you were seriously puzzled by the fact that poker rooms, in pursuit of a short-term rake, got carried away with tournaments with unlimited re-entry and would simply kill online poker. What do you think about it now?

---

2. Do you think an ordinary player (amateur) is capable of achieving high results, using only free, publicly available content for training and development?

---

3. The poker industry is constantly evolving and any content, in my opinion, becomes outdated quite quickly. Is there, in your opinion, any, if I may say so, "immortal" teaching material that was relevant a few years ago, is relevant today and will be relevant for many more years? Or do all materials need to be refined and updated?

---

4. Can, in your opinion, 1 person be a good trainer for a professional player or is team coaching more effective? I mean, can a coach be universal or is it better if a player is coached by several trainings (for example, experts in psychology, nutrition, sleep, and others)?

---

5. Do you have an inspiration (a coach you really admire)?

---

6. Are you planning to participate in the WPT in December?

---

7. If we consider different types of poker, what kind of poker, in your opinion, is the future in online and offline events, and what kind of poker will gradually disappear from major online and offline events?

---

8. What allows you not to lose interest in poker?

---

Thank you very much 🌺🌺🌺
