Q: Of all the Poker Superstars, who would you say most represents your style of play?

A: I guess Daniel Negreanu, because he loses a lot of really big pots.

Q: Of all the Poker Superstars, who is your favorite to watch and why?

A: I like watching all the guys on “High Stakes Poker”, like Negreanu and Sammy Farha. These guys throw the money around like matchsticks. Of course, there’s nothing like a Hellmuth meltdown.

Q: Where else do you play poker?

A: I’ve been playing in the 1-2 no-limit cash game at the Regent Casino fairly often lately.

Q: What is your most memorable Spite Club moment? If you are a rookie, what are you most looking forward to?

A: I’m a rookie. I’m looking forward to having fun with the boys and the chirps and carves that will fly across the table.

Q: How did you prepare for Spite Club Season 3?

A: Two words: Butterscotch enema.

Q: What makes you a good poker player?

A: That’s a bit of an assumption, isn’t it?

Q: Do you bring any superstitions to the table? Any good luck charms perhaps?

A: I’ll start doing that when I get desparate, probably around week 2.

Q: Do you have a favorite hand that you always play?

A: My roadie used to be the 10-7 (my jersey number is always 17) but I found I was losing a lot of money that way. How about this: I always play the nuts.

Q: Break down your opposition this season.

A: Well, I haven’t met several of these fellows, but I think they will all present different challeneges. From what I’ve seen any of them can win on any night. I *think* I’ve got Tom’s bluff tell, but we’ll find out soon enough.

Q: If you come out on top this season what do you plan to do with all that money?

A: I don’t really know how much money it is. So, either take a Carribean Cruise or fill up my truck with gas…once.

Q: In a game of Strip Poker, who would you like to see sitting across from you heads-up?

A: Either Brooke Burke, Eva Green, or the girl in the GoDaddy.com ads.

Q: If you could, would you make any changes to the Spite Club rules?

A: Looks good so far. Maybe more chips to start.
