PokerNews�� Sarah Herring called the clock on Jason Somerville, giving him two minutes to answer as many questions as he can.
Best advice you would give to your 19-year-old self?
Don��t gamble too much on other players.
Did you go to prom?
No, I didn��t even finish my senior year of high school. I graduated as a junior so I didn��t know anybody senior year. So no, I didn��t go to any kind of prom.
Wow, lame for you but also kind of lucky for you.
Dirty basement kid, what can I do?
What��s the weirdest thing someone��s said to you on your Twitch chat?
Oh my god, you could not even believe it, it��s insane. It��s crazy. I don��t even know if I could even say. People say all sorts of things about weird things, about liking parts of my body and toes and, who knows? It��s strange. It��s a weird universe on the internet.
What��s the weirdest thing that��s happened to you while streaming?
Huh, man. I��ve had, I guess I could say I, at one point, had some sort of a weird migraine. I couldn��t see and I was in the middle of a tournament. It was like I was in the Thursday Thriller deep, 36 left, and all of a sudden, I had this weird blind spot in my vision and I couldn��t see the cards and I was misreading my hand on the stream. And when I busted, I was like, what��s going on? I don��t even know but yeah, it was fine but it was weird. I couldn��t stop the stream!
I mean, I hope you had your brain checked out, but I��ve had that, too. What is the book you��ve read most recently?
I read Molly��s Game actually. Very good. I thought it was actually great.
I have no idea what he��s talking about.
It��s the poker book about the celebrity cash games in L.A.
Shows what I know.
There��s going to be a movie about it.
What��s the book that��s changed your life the most?
Hm, book that��s changed my life the most? You know, I probably would say maybe like Dan Harrington��s tournament series. What was that called? Harrington on Hold��em. That was great. Changed my life. I got rich off that book.
Who��s your best friend in poker?
I would say Vivek Rajkumar, World Poker Tour champion and pajama wearer at all times.
What do you like on your pizza?
Nothing. Plain cheese. I��m a New Yorker. We just eat it as it is.
If you could play an instrument, what would it be?
I played the piano for like 10 years, OK. Beautiful piano player. I also played the baritone sax or whatever that was for like one year in like, high school or something.
Like I��m shocked he didn��t go to prom. Let��s get real. Hardest thing about being a poker player?
The fact that you can play for a month and lose.
BONUS MINUTE:
Favorite cuss word?
Oh, man, fuck. Gotta be. You��re fucking paying.
What��s the first thing you think of when I say the letter ��f��?
Fuck.
Best gift you��ve ever received?
I��m not really a big receiver of gifts. Pass.
What��s your go-to karaoke song?
Oh, man. I love ��Hurt my Soul�� by Lupe Fiasco.
I don��t know what it is. Let me hear it.
Oh, you��re going to make me sing at 10 in the morning? It��s a bunch of rapping and Lupe Fiasco is singing and I��m not really a karaoke person either. It��s like a prom-related thing. I��m not really a partygoer. I��m a dirty basement kid, Sarah Herring. I don��t really sing or do rapping or anything.
I don��t even know what that song is, which just shows what a loser I am. I��m just going to throw this one in there because I want to know what you��d say, but what��s your spirit animal?
Oooh, the falcon.
