Since this was the most gentlemanly of the latest batch of replies, I'll reply to this one. Thanks for noticing. I practice at the ShuffleMaster booth at G2E every year.
You can probably understand now why I disabled public YouTube comments. Most of them were along the lines of the comments for any given Hannah Minx video.

I'm sure the poor girl did her very best at the interview; last thing she'd want is to not be taken seriously.
Were the juvenile responses about her decolletage sourced from pimply-faced boys using the computer at junior high school?
Had she a prominent birth mark or other deformity / abnormality not of her making: would you guys make stupid jokes about it as well?
Besides, it's Las Vegas, Sin City.

In the game of Ultimate Texas Hold Em you have said you should bet if the dealer has less then 21 outs.
if you are playing head to head there are 9 cards out 52 - 9 = 43
IF he has 22 outs his chances are better then 50/50 = fold = understood.
BUT if there are 5 players at the table the math would be
5 players plus dealer = 16 pre flop cards plus 5 on the board = 21 cards out
shouldnt you now fold if the dealer has more then 15 outs ?
when and where can we see or read the interview

You can ask this in the other UTH threads, this is for the Wizards interview!
Since I can't help myself: You don't count the other players cards as seen cards unless you know them and use that as information. The other players might be holding your outs, they might be holding the dealers outs... We don't know. This is why their cards are treated as "unseen" cards still left in the deck.
Now back to more discussion about the great interviews the Wizard posted on the previous pages!

Playing it correctly means you've already won.

I think you should consider doing "Ask the Wizard" videocasts weekly, and post them here. I think it would draw a lot of eyes, and you have years of material that will seem fresh (though still pertinent since most games are still current).
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Why can't you ride a uni and juggle pins
at the same time. How did you last on
the radio show for so long without even
trying murder Dancer. Which cast member
on Gilligan's Island do you most relate
to. When will you send in a Survivor
tape that doesn't make you look like
a former actuary.

Since BBB has offered this suggestion, and EvenBob has followed with a semi-random list of questions, I thought I would offer my own non-gambling question for the Wizard (which I never got around to submitting by P.M. when he asked for them.)
Wizard, have you revised your plans (including your location) for viewing the total solar eclipse next year? The point of maximum duration of totality is (according to Google Maps) a rather reasonable 7.5-hr drive from where I live, but I am not confident that the weather will provide a good viewing opportunity there.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not saying "no." Let me bounce it off my assistant Heather, to made the interview videos you just saw. Maybe questions could be submitted directly to her, so my audience gets a fresh answer.
If any Vegas local is interested in being involved, let me know.

Did I write that?
;-)
Notice I did not quote.
It can be fixed.
I'm assuming Wiz gets a longer timeframe for editing than I do.

I see two other people voted for Lara Logan. Hopefully those two were fortunate enough to catch her on Celebrity Jeopardy today!

I'm thinking of making the interviews a regular thing.
Next time I plan to have my assistant Heather, who edited the last ones, be the interviewer. In the interests of getting my fresh answer, I am asking members of the forum to submit questions for the next interview directly to her. Please PM Heather directly. Her forum handle is VegasAces.
Thank you.

Respectfully, as the person who suggested you do this, I think that will kill it. Better an open thread that people can read others questions and will get them asking their own . Just stipulating that you won't respond in - thread , but preparing video answers instead. Or both PM or the thread .
