How about

1. How much time are you spending on-line vs live ?
2. Are you seeing a lot more quality in play due to leaning on-line and then moving to live tourney's ? (Example - Takeover)
3. Where does the serious money go in the future (on=line or B&M)

I would ask something about how much they had to adjust their play with the huge influx of dead money in the major tournmanets like the wsop.

Obviously, the better pros understand that they have to adjust. Hellmuth, although he is a great player, can't seem to adjust to the new situations, and that's why he has been performing so poorly. I would love to hear what he has to say on the topic.

I think that has more to do with variance than with inability to adjust. Didn't he get through like 2300 people at the $1500 buyin hold'em tourney at the world series?

Ask Phil, "If there was no luck in poker and you won everytime, would anyone care?"

A quick look at the Hendon Mob database shows that Hellmuth had 4 cashes in this year's WSOP, and 5 cashes last year. I think the record for most in a year is 7 or 8, so 4-5 has to be considered a solid year for anyone at the WSOP. None of them was a win, but surely no one here believes that a 2-year drought in bracelets is evidence of a slump. Can someone PLEASE explain to me how Hellmuth has "done so poorly as of late?"

I'm not a Hellmuth fan, but seriously, folks, these anti-Phil rants are just so incredibly canned and ignorant.

I have to agree...I'm just not big fan of Brown.

Have each of them ask Chad Brown to exit the booth.

What can Brown to for you?

I would ask Phil why he berrates the fish when most pros never sy a bad work to them and just let them continue to make the same mistakes. Why does he educate the fish about how bad they play?

Not related to your question, but I would suggest that you never have Robert WIlliamson guest host again. The shows I saw him guest host he gave the most inane, sometimes outright wrong "holdem strategy" commentary. And Chad just went ahead and agreed w/ everything he said like a puppy dog. I would like to hear what Williamson has to say about an Omaha tourney, but I think his NLHE critique is awful.
