When did you start playing poker?
3 years ago.
Where can you be found playing live?
Grosvenor Casino,Moortown, Leeds.
What is your favourite online site?
Have to say bill-hill, though mainly because it's the first I played on so I feel some strange attachment,despite all the bad beats. More recently been loving PKR.
What is your handle there?
Bill-Hill - TheSwan
PKR - Swangirl
What is the harshest beat you have inflicted on an opponent?
Like most I tend to forget those, and let the bad beats I've received stay firmly burnt into my retinas and long-term memory.
Who are your poker heroes?
Simon Ehne (one to watch), Ram Vaswani, Daniel Negreanu.
What are your greatest accomplishments in poker?
Came 2nd in a MTT after only having played online a handful of times. Should really have won, but £556ish wasn't bad for my £10 buy-in.
What is your most embarrassing moment in poker?
I endeavour not to get embarrassed..pointless emotion really.
The thing I love most about BlondePoker is?
The opportunity it presents to interact with people who share a passion for poker, as none of my friends in this country are really interested. Also the friendly banter and witty remarks etc..It's a great outlet for my abundance of sarcasm.
My biggest pet hate in poker is?
Idiots who feel the need to constantly lecture the person sat next to them, making the game a seminar, before going out themselves as a result of basic error or blatant lack of intelligence.
What are your main interests outside poker?
Sports - (Playing : Tennis, badminton, pool, 5-a-side football, squash, darts, swimming)
- (Watching : Football, tennis, rugby league, ice hockey, athletics, snooker, darts, winter sports ..pretty much anything.)
Also play guitar, piano, sing, write/record my own music. I enjoy watching films of substance and quality TV. Can't forget Scrabble or any type of word-related activity.
Tell us something about yourself none of us would know.
Well, I'm pretty decent at playing poker, but if you were ever to sit and play with me, you wouldn't know it!
What is your favourite pie filling?
Quite partial to a nice tart rhubarb.
Who is your favourite singer?
Impossible question, like too many to specify.
What is your favourite song?
As above.
What is your ideal man?
A woman.
What is your favourite holiday destination?
So far it would be a tight contest between Hania, Crete, and sunny Scarborough (both for very different reasons obviously).
If I could change one thing about myself I would?
Be more tolerant. Stop drinking Coke. Channel my energy in constructive ways.
