actually yes - but thats not what is so funny. he seems to think he is the dogs bollox and has a big mouth. He is trying to be a low rent version of Tony G, without any of the skill.

hugely amusing.

I only have one question - if he was such a hot shot poker player, why would he not get a pair of sunglasses that fit him ?

that was too funny for words.

Played at his table last night (Friday) at the Broadway.

All-in most hands but for all his mouth he was at least charming (sort of) and inoffensive.  He went all in blind most hands and was honest about it.  Unfortunately for me his 32o busted my AKo even when I flopped an A on the flop (I raised all-in, he called).   Such is poker.  He is no Tony G (fat and offensive) but he does pad the prize pool when he plays and he doesn't pretend he is doing anthing other than gambling (unlike the "gotta call for the value" gobshites").

He had announced (to the whole cardroom) he was on Challenge this Monday night, has this episode been shown earlier earlier ?

Pished now and off to bed

He was great value for telly.

If I was on his table I would enjoy it for about half an hour I think, then I would want to slap him!

Thats probably part of the game plan.

But when it was stuck back up him, he went quite as a mouse.

Just saw this thread, I am pretty sure this guy ripped me off for £300 quid years ago!
I believe he was running up losses at the local casino and he got my confidence through a mutual friend that I trusted.
I later found out that he did my friend for 4 figures too, learned a lesson there.
He disapeared...considering it is unlikely he only conned 2 people for his gambling habit I'm suprised he was stupid enough to show his (considerably fatter) face on telly.
So he moved to the midlands eh.....lol

I was sat next to him at the Broadway on Thursday.  After the first 3 hands I'd decided he was either gonna get a massive stack or be out by the end of level one.  He went out within about 30 minutes!

Just looked to be a sick gambler type.  He was moaning that he'd missed out on £30k in footy bet wins this week.  Nothing offensive or irritating though, just a 'larger than life' character IMO.

Des Jonas must've had a last longer bet with him or something as he offered a £25 bounty to whoever took him out.  He seemed well known around the cardroom so presumably he's a regular there.

Ive known Ken for a couple of years, as he usually plays the festivals at Walsall & Broadway.
As much as he can irritate some, he is very charming to others. I ve seen him put the £ up for about half a dozen at these tournys, without really knowing the guys.
The guy is just an out and out gambler, and larger than life character. He doesnt live in the midlands just commutes i believe.
Can honestly say Ive never had a problem with him.

Funniest thing was the number of players at the table (Friday at the Broadway) who continued to limp in to him despite him going all in every hand. 

The first time I played at his table he had around 25 buy in's at £20 a pop.  He's not short of a few bob that's for sure.
