If you had 30 seconds with Phil Gordon, what would you ask him?
Phil is coming to my town for a book signing tonight. See my original post here. Book Signing
If you had 30 seconds to ask him a question, what would you say?

Re: If you had 30 seconds with Phil Gordon, what would you ask him?
from what i understand hes not that great of a poker player. just a very aggressive player with a huge bankroll.
hes a great businessman though. maybe you should ask him what kind of tech company to start.

its hard to say. he certainly is an above avg poker player. but he made his zillions in the tech industry though. i think he sold his company to cisco. im just saying im certain he is a better businessman than poker player.

Re: If you had 30 seconds with Phil Gordon, what would you ask him?
For the people that say he is a bad, consistant losing poker player: If he is such a good businessman, why is he dumping all this money ($200k per year in entry fees) if he isn't winning? Obviously after a while, he should know it is a bad investment.
Or maybe it is the fact that he is better than you say and does, in fact, turn a profit.

if you have 50 mil losing 200K is no big deal.

[/ QUOTE ] I guess you must be his accountant. Remember because of his other responsibilities, Celeb POker and his three businesses, he does not get to play all the major tournaments. So he is not dropping as much in entry fees as other tourney regulars do. To the OP: He did a reading at my university a couple weeks ago and it was very imteresting. He started out by talking about the 4 qualities that he sees all successful poker players (and successful people in general) having. Then he just opens things up for whatever questions the audience has. I was drawing a blank so I just sat back and enjoyed, it was a very interesting hour. If he doesn't bring up Hellmuth, ask him what he thinks of him, he makes it no secret that he absolutely hates the guy, pretty funny. P.S. Gordon even admits that he is not a great player, but works hard and is always discussing things with his Ivey, Flack etc. but for you guys on here to say that he is just average is absurd. He is not one of the top 5 in the world, but he is a good that can hold his own.

With books, t.v. shows, interviews on television and radio interviews, yet no recent poker success, do you think that you are overexposed?
