'Usually, I play two or three nights a week in a poker club or casino, plus sometimes a couple of tournaments on the internet.'

Wow. (Considering you are a pro).

I would imagine that most of the 'part time players' who post on Blonde play more than you.

I guess it's a triumph of ability over application!

Its hard to try and put actual numbers on it.  Sometimes I play more, sometimes I play less but in fact the "couple of tournaments on the internet" is a blatant under exageration lol.  In actual fact if I am not playing live and I am at home - I am deffinately playing an online comp (or 2).  I also believe though that regular breaks from playing (especialy online) is crucial for me!

Bear in mind that the interviewer had absolutely 0% knowledge of anything poker and the asumption was to answer with that in mind for the readers.
