What is the harshest beat you have inflicted on an opponent?
Beat? I never put the chips in without the best hand...well, that's not strictly true.
Who are your poker heroes?
Anyone who can win or lose with dignity. Wouldn't say I have any heroes as such, but it's amazing feat that Tikay can still play at his age...
Who is your best friend in poker?
Anyone who's willing to give me their chips...
What are your greatest accomplishments in poker?
Lucking my way through the first APAT live event in Brum. Hopefully, Copenhagen will surpass it...
My other accomplishment is building up from an initial deposit of £20 and slowly building it up in the micro-stakes games to where I am now (in the low-stakes games!).
What is your most embarrassing moment in poker?
Hopefully not Copenhagen.
Which Blondepoker thread did you enjoy the most?
So many to choose from, couldn't really pick a favourite. The live updates are excellent, as is the hand analysis board.
The thing I love most about BlondePoker is?
The people and the fact that good experienced players are willing to spend their time giving advice to us low-limit newbies.
My biggest pet hate in poker is?
Bad losers, and probably worse, bad winners.
What are your main interests outside poker?
Liverpool Football Club, Wigan Rugby League Football Club, boxing, my car, and spending too much time on the Internet.

What is your favourite holiday destination?
We lived in Japan for a few years, and it'd be good to go back again soon. Otherwise, anywhere sunny - with an Internet connection of course. Also fancy a trip to Vegas to play some poker and watch a decent fight - hopefully do this in 2007.
If I could change one thing about myself I would?
...be less lazy.
