I'm getting interviewed on TV - help me!

[Whitewash]

Hey guys,

I wanna thank everyone who gave tips. The reporter was really nice, though he did ask me some of the negative questions many of you helped me anticipate. I thought I might be really nervous but I felt like my answers were very natural since I was talking about something I love.

Some of the questions:
-How many hours a week do you play?
-Do you know anyone who has lost a lot of money playing online?
-Why do you think so many college students like playing poker (and Texas hold em in particular)?
-Does playing poker help you pay for college?
-Do you think you'll want to do this for a living?
-What website do you play on?
-Don't you feel like you aren't contributing anything by playing poker?
-How much have you made this year?


They asked me how much I've made online this year, which made me cringe... but they insisted I answer, so I gave a ballpark figure (15-20K... something most of you laugh at, but it got a "wow" response from the reporter and cameraman).

Andy Sheehan, the reporter, apparently also interviewed some Carnegie Mellon student who won 15K in a tournament recently, but I believe we were the only two he interviewed. After the interview, they filmed me walking down a sidewalk on campus with the reporter, and then filmed me walking by myself.

The segment will be on CBS here in Pittsburgh the first week of November - there should be promos on before hand. I'm thinking I'll be on for a good minute or two, not just 15 seconds answering a question or two.


I'll keep anyone from the Pittsburgh area posted on when it'll be on once we find out for sure. I'm hoping someone can find a way to get it on Youtube.
