Simon great to see you doing so well. What I see is the point I think I made on a previous thread when Jason was asking for advice.When Simon plays a comp he is 100% going to 'work' . He prepares well, he is focussed,observant and has a high level of concentration. He understands the emotional dynamics on deep stack competitions and is both patient and aggressive. I had the pleasure of taking a walk on the prom in Blackpool with him,sharing a table in Blackpool as well as having the misfortune of having him on my table in Deauville. He has a great attitude to the game,money and life. He would be a great catch for any company looking to back someone and good luck on that score.
As for a question? Well how is it that on 50:50 flips your results are 95:5. Is this part of your game you have worked on? :-)
Takes lots of skill and practice to run this good.

Are u and Shola planning to get married?
Are u gonna have a stag do? Can I come?
Who would be your best man? Do I have a shot at it?
Plans for Vegas? Will you be selling action via certain staking boards?
Yes we were actually taling about it recently, probably next summer we think. Ofcourse you can come!!
Best man is an interesting question? Would have to think about that one.
going to book vegas as soon as as schedule is out. probably go for 4 weeks again. Will be selling action i'm sure, will see if I can reach 300 post by then! Its really hard!!!!
10% please
What price round you bet yourself at in a Countdown
Challenge v Stato?
Having just met you a couple of times, you seem a really nice guy and pretty balanced. Do you ever degen? What's your worst every degeneracy incident?
There is no price. He is so ridiculous.
I can't even think of one. I don't really spew ever, I don't gamble on anything either. Just a life nit as well as a poker nit.

I suspect that you don't tilt, is that true?
If you feel yourself getting close to it, what do you do?

No I do tilt. Used to tilt really bad. Have controlled it loads better in last year though. Don't do anything inparyicular now, just if I feel like I'm spewing I'm tighten my range and try not to make mistakes.

I agree, it's without doubt a key reason to his success. It's so hard to just sit and watch every hand and not go on your phone / ipad / even listening to music like Simon says you can miss that one key bit of information that leads to a great call/fold. Pretty amazing how he can do it even in small tournaments.
Yeah it's a massive skill to possess for sure.
Congrats on the last 6-12 months Simon
Guess I should ask a couple of questions...
How long before you expect to join us true sicko's and reach the Blonde Hall of Fame ?
Do you think I have a drink problem ?
Catch up soon, I expect you to have won at least two more biggies by that time.

When faced woth big decisions, How much do you apply to studying/ discussing poker theory? Bad equilibrium, implied/reverse implied odds, bubble factors that are discussed in many books/ on forums/ training sites?
Or for example do you tend to stick to the pot odds, and reads only like many other live players?
I don't really have much of a analytical mathematic approach to my live game other than the basics, my live success is mainly due to my live reads and my feel for the general game Flow and dynamics of all the different situations you come across when playing live poker.
Hope this answers your question. If I'm honest I didn't really understand a lot of the words you said. ;-)
Nash equilibrium d'oh

Catch up soon, I expect you to have won at least two more biggies by that time.
I remember a hand we once played at Dtd on a cash game. Ray came in steaming drunk, rambling about something I couldn't really understand. He sat down on my left and started to play. A short while after that we got into a hand. Now i can't remember the exact hands but basically I'd raised pre and he had called. HU to the flop is when he decided to double check his cards, at which point he held them up way to high and I saw them both clearly. So I said 'ray I've seen your cards'! To which he replys 'na ya didn't, get on with it'! So I told him again and then I said look I've got the best hand(which i did have) but this isn't right so I'll just check. He then fires out a bet! I say what you doing ray I've got you beat and I can see your cards! 'Na ya didn't, get on with it'! So I say fine I call then, but I've tried to tell you. This goes on the same on the turn. I'm ahead still and it goes check-bet-call again. The pots getting quite big now. Then ray someone rivers his miracle gutshot and I had to check-fold the river.
So... Do you have a drink problem? Very possibly! ;-)
