Interview With Olivier "livb112" Busquet

Haha, I'm the only nit so far who didn't give this vid a 5 star rating ;)

Good to see stuff like this come out. I feel that you could have fit in a few more questions, maybe pick his brain a bit more about strat related things, but there was a lot of great stuff in there, thanks! 

awesome!!

btw does anyone know what episodes he was on for the wosp 2011?

i have heard good things and want to check it out now

so funny seeing what a nice guy he is (in this interview, quadjacks interview, espn etc.) knowing from posts on 2+2 what a trash talker he is and how much he can tilt. Does anybody know if he changed his table manners after he has become kind of famous outside the husng community??

crstn, as far as I'm aware he's always been hyper competitive at the online tables, and I believe he's publicly stated that his chat tilt was so bad at one point that he had to ask the sites to disable his chat.  Look at the old 2p2 interview (should be in the heads up sng forum FAQ links section) for details on his chat tilt, it's been covered a lot in the past, we tried not to repeat too much stuff from his old 2p2 forum interview to his latest interviews on espn/quadjacks/2p2 podcast/others.  Though the HUSNG aspect should be unique enough given that many of his other interviews are with larger, more general poker media.

Every person I've heard of meeting him + television appearances + producers/live pros/etc. seem to all agree on him being a great/nice guy though.

Good interview. I'd like to suggest that for future interviews like this where it's audio-only that maybe it could be published as an mp3 podcast. Makes it easier for people to take it on the go.

Good idea, click here for the mp3 version.

Great to hear from Olivier, but brutal interview.

I think for a first shot it was pretty decent to be honest. You'll get more comfortable with the format over time. Maybe have a couple of drinks to loosen up before the call? ;) Also, you could create a thread here so members can ask their own questions. I listened to it yesterday, the main thing lacking in my opinion was actual strategy talk, I mean no need to make it super technical but just picking his brain a bit about some of the crazy things he does at a table would have been amazing. 

I didnt listen to it yet, but whats so brutal about this interview, what is the "brutal" comment?

Thanks everyone for the feedback.Glad most people enjoyed it. I would have liked to get into a bit more strategy talk with Olivier but didn't have that much time toprepare. I didn't want to ask some dumb generic strategy question. If we get a chance to talk with him again maybe we can throwsome well prepared hand histories his way and see what happens.

great video. especially for ur 1st time. i dont understand what it actually means to say the interview was brutal. i think it was perfect. if you ask too many personal questions and 'take control' of the interview like cnn and fox news reporters livb might get frustrated and not enjoy it as well. then he will question doing interviews in the future. perfect interview and great job imo.
