Mixed Fortunes

Wednesday 28th June (continued) Hmmm. Now I see the advantage of stopping at Hooters. You get up and trot down to breakfast and you are guaranteed to have a smile on your face before you sit. Pretty girls everywhere.

One Step Forward, One Step Back

 A few weeks back, I ventured into the Gutshot Club in London for only the second time. The first was a media event for the PaddyPower.com Irish Poker Open (attended by poker pro Barney Boatman!) and to say I was unimpressed would be a hell of an understatement. The place couldn’t decide whether it wanted to be a sauna or the North Pole,...

Woes Of A Big Stack

 A weekend or two ago I received a text message from a blondeite friend. It was after the first day of a two day festival event and it said, “I am in the final, massive chip leader. I have 140,000. Average is 50,000.” I sent a good luck message back and took the kids to the park and awaited the inevitable victory message in the ev...

The Annual Pilgrimage

 Monday 26th June I am booked on the Virgin VS43 direct flight from Gatwick direct to Vegas along with Marc Goodwin (right). Unfortunately, Mr Cool has the bright idea of checking in online, which includes having to type your password number in. Having driven from Birmingham to Gatwick at 5am, I now realise how dangerous it is to ever take my...

He's Real!

 For the four years I’ve been involved in the game, there’s been one player, one poker ‘star’, that’s always amazed me, and that man is none other than the self-acclaimed Poker Brat himself, Mr Phil Hellmuth.

Walsall And Back

 May was a great month in my regular competitions at Luton, and I cleared over £5,000 in profit from their competitions alone. Along came the Walsall festival and I decided it was time to spin up some of that profit into a week on the festival circuit. I like the Walsall casino a lot... I chopped a festival event there in February, it'...

Return To Notts

 It’s a bright Sunday afternoon, the sun is shining, and the sky is clear – a perfect day for being active and hitting the great outdoors… or, alternatively, I could head out to the casino and play same poker.

Return To Helsinki

The most fun of all the Unusual Suspects competitions, The Grand Casino Helsinki's 20,000 starting chipped, hour clocked, superbly run tournament was the only thing I actually wanted to play this year, so much so that instead of playing other events in the preceding months, I simply added to the €2,000 kitty so that I could have another go at ...

Give Me A Break

 Recently, I have decided to play a lot more online poker and really give it a good bash. When I first joined the blonde team, I just played every so often, but over the last few weeks I’ve hit the felt on an almost daily basis.

The Poker Dome Experience

 A week or two back, I was jetted off to Las Vegas courtesy of Mansion Poker, to play in the amazing Poker Dome Event for a chance to win $1,000,000!! The Poker Dome is being covered by Fox TV and held at the Tropicana Casino. It is a one-table satellite affair, with six players, 15 seconds to act and pot limit pre-flop. Quite a different game...
