100 questions to ask a poker player

If I am doing interview segments as part of the upcoming Canadian Poker Championships on Global, what should I ask poker players? Both pros and amateurs?

I am trying to compile a list of 100 questions to help me. Some examples...

(1) What is your single biggest win?
(2) Single biggest loss?
(3) Would a poker player be good at Survivor?
(4) Preferred game?
(5) Favourite snack at the poker table?

Please add your questions to me list.

    What's the one thing you're most ashamed of doing/saying, after receiving a bad beat?

    or

    If you end up winning this tournament, what will you spend the money on? Can I come with you?

    Pro: When and/or how did you realize you had what it takes to compete with pro players? How long did it take you to get there?

    For a pro:

    After the novelty of playing cards for a living wears off does it become like any other job?

    For amateur:
    Would you rather sit at a table with a couple of pros so you can tell your friends you played at the same table with .... (example: Chris Ferguson) or would you rather sit at the table with the regular poker players

    For Freddy Deeb (just in case he shows up for some strange reason):

    Please don't ask 1 & 2  as those would make me hurl!

    1) So, Lou do you really feel you're more skilled than the field or do you believe you got extraordinarily lucky?
    2) I saw so many incredible all-in bets -- did you practice with your wife before coming to the tournament?
    3) What was the TSN turning point of the tournament for you?
    4) How long have you been playing and describe the first time you went broke?
    5) You have a good grasp of odds.  Are you also an excellent WAR player?

    Cheers

    For pros....
    "What other professional do you hate to play against because: a) he's/she's such a good player, and b) just because you can't stand his/her guts"
