hi GT

Q1) spend the week trying to get everything else sorted and covered so that I know I can complete switch off from the outside world from the moment we get chipped up - to hopefully the final table

Q2) $20,000 on the WSOPE London (£10,000 buy-in) or the EPT Final Monte Carlo (10,000 Euro buy-in)

I would prefer to put as much of the 25k into the buy-in as I'm quite happy to slum it (to a point) and complete luxury would be a waste on me ;-) as I would hopefully be at the table most of the time

That said I would love to go to Monte Carlo and take the family - so another possibility would be to use the week (or 3-4 days) traveling down through France to Monte Carlo and then put the family up in a nice place (they can go off and see the sights and I can play poker)

If it was the WSOPE in London then a nice decent hotel that was near by would be fine

Q3) First off I'd have to have that all agreed before hand - no point in having a Jamie Gold situation maring your career / peoples opinions (rightly or worongly) of you

I guess it woudl depend but if I got anywhere then I would definately want to return the $25,000 + 20% min ($30,000) so if the first in the money prize was $35,000 then I'd clear $5,000 and so would the crazy millionaire ... In terms of making it big in the money then I think I'd want to have some figures worked out and agreed, signed and held by a mutual friend or the tournament organisers ... at the end of the day I dont have many close firends who happen to be nutty millionaires ;-)

Q4) hmm not sure I'd be that convinced to give it to me lol ... given a choice between backing me and Daniel Negreanu then I'd tell the guy there was an obvious better investment - obviously not me ... but then 25K might just be a crazy bet for the guy and its his money to up to him

funny question - very entertaining (now I'm dreaming of Monte Carlo)
