blonde poker forum

At the age of 16 Cheltenham's Dan (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=86) Carter (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=86) wanted to be a Professional Golf Coach. By the age of 18 he was a fully sponsored Poker Professional, after being noticed by Poker.co.uk/Matt (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=272) Dale (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=272). Not yet 21 years old, he's recognised as one of the UK game's brightest talents. He does a mean wind up thread too!

His biggest live cash to date is his 2nd place (to Jeff (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=195) Kimber (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=195)) finish in last year's World Heads Up in Barcelona for over $80,000. On the live circuit only since 2005 he has a $40,000 cash at EPT Dortmund, a win at the Luton Christmas Cracker Pot limit event and a number of other final tables to his name

Online Dan won a Poker Stars $500k gtd for over $100,000.

You can see more about his exploits at www.luckyscrote.blogspot.com.

Hopefully over the next week, when he's not on the golf course, he's on this thread answering your questions and those from his friends at poker.co.uk where this thread will be linked

Over to you...............

 

What edge do you believe you have over the field in any given EPT event? (in roi terms)

Is it worth playing them without sponsorship, given the sick varience?

Is this the weirdest poker player on Facebook?

Ok Dan,i'll bite............Why would that be?

 ;fishing;

uh Brendan, read the other thread please!


cross thread grimming.....

[X] well delivers already

Clever set up by the mods this, Tighty makes the standard opening post and then kin delivers the killer blow. A classic 1-2.

How did you get started with Poker, and what kind of games were you playing?
What were your early results like?

QFT

Brilliant.

I read somewhere that you read like 10 poker books a while back. Were you a winning player before this or did reading all of them help your game hugely?

Secondly, who do you think is the most over rated player on the UK circuit?

-I'm sure you said something about tightening up a lot in 2008. Can you tell us your thought process, is it a direct response to the games getting loser?
- heads up versus Devilfish - you lolowned him, did you rate him? do you think he's a player that's had his time at the top of UK poker?
- if you could incorporate one quality from another UK poker player what would it be, who from and why?

tournaments:
- at what stack size are you never open raising/folding
- at what stack size are you never 3bet/folding pre

just a shame that some people have deleted their posts to hide pwnage. boo to you.

ok, questions

1) knowing Matt I would assume he was drunk when he offered you sponsorship. Did you think he was joking?

2) what's your handicap?

3) if you could hand a sponsorship deal to an unsponsored UK player who would it be?

[  ] Cheers Dan

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

what has he got against you mate ?

Yeah, I never knew there was history between you - did you and kinboshi fall out?

Why dont you rename your blog to:

Look at my fucking big twatter of a graph?

1) Who are your 5 picks to run good at the open?
2) Steak or Stake?
3) Who do you think is the biggest pro donkey on the circuit?
4) Who in your opinion is the best UK pro?
5) Who is the weirdest player on face book?

how crap are you at the poker at the bar game on a scale of 1-10?

Hello people, it's an honour to be part of "In the well". I look forward to answering all your questions.

Longy-

What edge do you believe you have over the field in any given EPT event? (in roi terms)

Very tough question as a whole lifetime is not enough time to figure out how much edge you have because of variance but I would have to say around 50-100% as a guess. I am 100-200% on pokerstars/party and I think I've ran slightly hot on there.

Is it worth playing them without sponsorship, given the sick varience?

No, I'd say take a shot to anyone. You never know what might happen.




jakally-

How did you get started with Poker, and what kind of games were you playing?

I saw my step-dad playing on pokerstars. When he was at work I would secretly play on play money.

What were your early results like?

Strangely, I was a winning player from the moment I started playing poker. I think I started playing just before the poker boom 5 years ago when games were mega-soft. I remember spinning $25 up to $1000 in a month, this was all the money I had to my name.



GreekStein-

I read somewhere that you read like 10 poker books a while back. Were you a winning player before this or did reading all of them help your game hugely?

I was a winning player before this but the reason why I read all these books was because my step-dad was on life tilt with me and banned me from the computer! I couldn't cope with it and had withdrawal symptoms. Decided 10 poker books was the way to go.

Secondly, who do you think is the most over rated player on the UK circuit?

Not answering this one but there are a lot more over-rated than under-rated players.


dino1980-

-I'm sure you said something about tightening up a lot in 2008. Can you tell us your thought process, is it a direct response to the games getting loser?

I think over the last 2 years a lot of people have been trying a much looser style. The idea is that you play the opposite of the table so I just went with it...

- heads up versus Devilfish - you lolowned him, did you rate him? do you think he's a player that's had his time at the top of UK poker?

Like I said above, the game is changing all the time and I imagine Dave will always try to play a loose-aggressive game, I think he is still one of the better players on the circuit. I played well vs the fish but I did get Aces at the right time ;)

- if you could incorporate one quality from another UK poker player what would it be, who from and why?

Easy! Mickey wernicks patience with a short stack.

tournaments:
- at what stack size are you never open raising/folding

Hard really as when Im short stacked I just get it in, if I am opening 2-3 BB's then it probably means that there is a chance I am folding if 3-bet. I guess you could draw the line at 12BB's

- at what stack size are you never 3bet/folding pre

Woah! I think there are too many factors in poker to answer this question, sorry!




gatso-

1) knowing Matt I would assume he was drunk when he offered you sponsorship. Did you think he was joking?

He must have been drunk to offer me a sponsership, surely! Actually, I was offered sponsership before I even knew matt by a company called jetsetpoker who are now dead; at the time Matt was looking for a sponsored player. I went with Matt to Luton Christmas cracker where I took down the tourney in a rather cocky manner, I guess I had more confidence back then. Matt had his eye on me after this, shortly after I chopped the sunday mill on stars, It went from there...

2) what's your handicap?

7, I used to be off 5 which I hope to get down to next year. I've started to take golf seriously this year and shot under par for the first time ever today.

3) if you could hand a sponsorship deal to an unsponsored UK player who would it be?

Stuart (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=421) Rutter (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=421), his online cash results are sick.



GlasgowBandit
1) Who are your 5 picks to run good at the open?
I assume this is something to do with golf? I don't follow anything on tv.

2) Steak or Stake?
Medium-rare plz

3) Who do you think is the biggest pro donkey on the circuit?
Can't answer this!

4) Who in your opinion is the best UK pro?
Dave (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) Colclough (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=95) probably, he has run worst than anyone I know though. Julian (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=225) Thew (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=225) too.

5) Who is the weirdest player on face book?
lol nh.



AlexMartin-
how crap are you at the poker at the bar game on a scale of 1-10?
9. I am pretty good at this, especially since I invented the game. Stu rutter and James (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=184) Atkin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=184) are rubbish though since they never stop talking.

what are your main tips for beating the online cash games at the levels you play?

what do you feel is the major wekaness in your game?

Tightend-

what are your main tips for beating the online cash games at the levels you play?

Game selection is by far the most important. Obviously you need some skills behind the bills but I would have to seperate the good online players and great online players purely down to game selection.

what do you feel is the major weakness in your game?

Live I would say I have a few, my temper changes too often and I don't change gears at the right time. I think this is just down to lack of experience compared to the amount I can play online.

As for online, I am really working super hard online, I really feel like I have no weaknesses right now. You could say this is a rather cocky comment but the only thing that is holding me back right now is the amount of volume I put in. This month I have hardly played any poker, therefore, I have not made much money. I am not sure I even want to put the amount of volume that some of these 5/10 grinders do as it just takes up too much time. I quite enjoy spending fridays and saturdays with friends and weekday afternoons playing golf.

How did friends and family react to the press coverage you recently experienced, and how did you feel about the exposure ?

Kev-
How did friends and family react to the press coverage you recently experienced, and how did you feel about the exposure ?

My newspaper article was quite embarassing. I was told I was going to have a small article in our local paper. I agreed providing my sponsors link could be printed a few times, I had a shock on the Saturday morning. I never told my girlfriend how much money I really made or had so that was a bit of a shock.

I have a very small family so they all knew about my poker stuff and that I was making money out of it. My mum has always been supportive and I am greatful, I recently bought my mum a car for her birthday as well as for my nan as she is stone broke. I think a lot of people knew me from the local area as pretty much nobody plays poker in Cheltenham (The nearest casino is 45 miles away).

My friends are cool, I treat them every now and then as they are just used to 9-5 jobs. I have not made many friends out of poker since I started playing poker but I have a lot of "old" good friends. I was slowly making money from the beginning so nothing was a shock until I won the pokerstars tourney, which was even a shock to myself

/ramble :P

I meant the one about you and the Alsation and the latex gloves ... but good answer anyway ... ty ;)

Havent been on these forums for agggges.... thanks for the link.

1) Do you have a routine where you 'go to work' for a few hours everyday OR do you play when you feel like it? so, how do you motivate yourself? - and i dont mean just looking at your graphs :p

2) Do you have any future plans to invest in the poker industry i.e buying your own site etc or investing in current ones?

3) What are your goals in the next 2, 5 and 10 years?

4) How much do you love AlexRoss?

Raiser98-

1) Do you have a routine where you 'go to work' for a few hours everyday OR do you play when you feel like it? so, how do you motivate yourself? - and i dont mean just looking at your graphs :p

Often I do get into a routine where I get up at 9, play for a few hours. Go play golf and about 3 or 4 times a week I play from 5 until about 10. On and off with a few games pc games played in between to stop things getting stale. I keep myself motivated by constantly looking for weak games to crush. Being able to make easy money is just a great motivator. I also set myself targets of # of hands I should play in a month. It used to be 30-50k a month but now I have moved up to 10/20nl and 25/50nl game selection is a wee harder and therefore, I play only 15-30k hands a month.

2) Do you have any future plans to invest in the poker industry i.e buying your own site etc or investing in current ones?

Definitely not, I just want to be a poker player.

3) What are your goals in the next 2, 5 and 10 years?

My goals always change because it is only in the last 3 months that I started online cash again. I try not to set myself monetary targets as some things are beyond my control. You may run really bad for a few weeks or your bankroll may take a hit for whatever reason. Either way, it would be nice to make $1M online by the end of 09. It is definitely doable, it's just finding the motivation to do it.

4) How much do you love AlexRoss?

On a love-o-meter something like      HATE [----------------------------0-] LOVE

- How many WSOP events will you play next year, now that you are finally old enough?

- What are the rules of bar poker? Is this something I could specialise in?

1. Stars Million you are in  the BB with 25k Chips blinds 500/1000. you have AK o/s and are facing a raise to 4000 from a mid position solid player who also has 25K ...what now?

2. Table selection - what software / criteria do you use to aid your selection?

3. 10/20 NL cash table you raise to $70 from the button with As Ks both blinds call and check the 5s 6s Jc flop. you bet $160. The sb folds and the BB makes it $480.....what now ( you both have 2K stacks )

Hi Dan, and thanks for doing "The Well".

What do you feel is the best way to deal with min-raisers or do you not find them irritating ?

Are you perhaps a serial min-raiser yourself ? :)

Hi,
Do you like Indian food?
If so what is your favourite dish?
As i live near Cheltenham, which is your favourite pub,club and restaurant in town?
Cheers

Hey Dan.

Have you read a book called Stone Junction? If not then you should. The main character is called Daniel and there is a poker story that you'll like!
Which live and online players do you respect the most?
Which poker player(s) do you think you most resemble/wish to emulate the success of?
Which casino do you like the most and why? (will probably change when you go to vegas next month!)
What is your favourite poker book?

Mango99-
- How many WSOP events will you play next year, now that you are finally old enough?

I really have not thought about it, probably not too many as I know you won't be able to sponsor me in any events. I also don't like playing live in summer. I reckon 5 at most.

- What are the rules of bar poker? Is this something I could specialise in?

Rules of bar poker: You sit at the bar and you cannot mention anything to do with poker. Saying "I run bad" or the word "Bluff" will result in a shot of sambuca. I came up with this game when I was so sick of people talking about poker and it really works!



chrisbruce-

1. Stars Million you are in  the BB with 25k Chips blinds 500/1000. you have AK o/s and are facing a raise to 4000 from a mid position solid player who also has 25K ...what now?

Easy shove and I am not bothered If I get called at this stage.

2. Table selection - what software / criteria do you use to aid your selection?

Pokeracehud with an idleminer works for me. Before I used to choose the best 6 tables as there would always be at least 2 morons. At the higher levels I sit at a table that has at least 1 idiot with 50BB's or more.

3. 10/20 NL cash table you raise to $70 from the button with As Ks both blinds call and check the 5s 6s Jc flop. you bet $160. The sb folds and the BB makes it $480.....what now ( you both have 2K stacks )

Easy shove once again, you have a lot of equity.


Karabiner-

What do you feel is the best way to deal with min-raisers or do you not find them irritating ?

I, unlike most people love min-raisers. It's only usually weak players that do it and they give away a lot of information if you pay attention.

Are you perhaps a serial min-raiser yourself ? :)

No, there was a good article written by an FTP pro not long ago explaining why there is never a good spot to min-raise, ever.


Tractor-
Do you like Indian food?

Yes, I love it :)

If so what is your favourite dish?

If it's hot weather I tend to go for a chicken tikka masala otherwise it's usually a Chicken bhuna or lamb pathia

As i live near Cheltenham, which is your favourite pub,club and restaurant in town?

Pub- Kings arms in prestbury as my local or miranda's on the bath road.
Club- Possibly Blush, subtone is always a good crack too.
Restaurant- Thai Emerald.


DaMatrix-

Have you read a book called Stone Junction? If not then you should. The main character is called Daniel and there is a poker story that you'll like!

I'm getting very lazy with reading poker books lately :(

Which live and online players do you respect the most?

Online, I don't play on any bigger sites so I can't comment on this as I don't think I bump into any tough competition. Live probably Julian Thew as he is quite unpredictable, he is also a great person which also gets respect points from me.

Which poker player(s) do you think you most resemble/wish to emulate the success of?

I think I have quite a unique style and have always wanted to have my "own" style, but if I could have a better live game I would love to be able to be any well known loose-aggressive player, something I want to try and go for next year. Perhaps a more Ram style?

Which casino do you like the most and why? (will probably change when you go to vegas next month!)

Walsall, the card room is great and it's also my local.

What is your favourite poker book?

Ace on the river for entertainment. HoH for learning.

Could you give a rough ratio of your sponsorship budget to Matts bar bill at poker festivals up and down the country?

Also, join ukcs server one, your server is shite.

AlexMartin-
Could you give a rough ratio of your sponsorship budget to Matts bar bill at poker festivals up and down the country?

Well, Matt does put me into a lot of tournaments, so probably 1:1.

Also, join ukcs server one, your server is shite.

No, too busy to play counterstrike!

which sites do you play cash games on?

spin up, or tight bankroll management?

That's spooky.  No it really is, I was about to ask the same. 

I get worried about you two sometimes!

Not as worried as I am.

Do you play many loldonkaments online?

What online tournament standard would you compare a gukpt to? what about an ept?

Do you think most online torny pro's would crush the afforementioned live tournaments?

Would you consider teaching poker? If so how much would you charge someone who wanted your services?

How do u deal with tilting?

who's the better player

Pete "the charmer" singleton
lucy no cash
or
you?

they are all fish?

thats fine no one important noticed.

Bloody good idea!  I assume it's not limited to just those specific phrases?

No, I heard it also includes the phrase "I have the 7 of diamonds, and he had the 6!". Just those 3 phrases. No more ;)

Only one of those my site currently sponsor. On the lookout for new blood infact. Watch this space (another thread some day)...

byronkincaid-
which sites do you play cash games on?

For the last few months pacific and blue square (not so much blue square)


boldie-
spin up, or tight bankroll management?

Spin up = busto. Tight bankroll management it is. Unless of course you have a very good income and can afford to "spin up" often.

LeKnave-
Do you play many loldonkaments online?

Yes, but not so much lately.

What online tournament standard would you compare a gukpt to? what about an ept?

Gukpt's are pretty damn soft- you get a lot of "averagely poor" players whilst in an EPT you tend to get a lot of solid players with a few chip spewers. I'd compare an EPT to maybe the $100r on stars (quite tough). I can't quite think what I could compare to the GUKPT.

Do you think most online torny pro's would crush the aforementioned live tournaments?

Live donkaments are so different to online donkaments. If the online tourney pros were smart and determined they could probably adapt very quickly. Most would drop out earlier though because of the change in pace (1 hand per 2 minutes, 10 straight non-cashes = 1 month not 1 day).



GreekStein-
Would you consider teaching poker? If so how much would you charge someone who wanted your services?

Yes I would, I gave someone a very cheap coaching lesson to see if I would enjoy teaching and I did. I would probably charge $250 an hour as pokertracker tells me I earn more than that. Anything less than $250 an hour and I may as well play poker!

How do u deal with tilting?

I read the mindset of poker which helped a ton. Really if you teach yourself that making good moves is making you money rather than looking at outcomes it's actually quite difficult to tilt. I don't think I've tilted for about 3 months now, but if I ever feel slightly frustrated I generally go up to the practice are of my golf club and smash the hell out of some balls. Lately I've not been doing too well which just means I avoid the computer altogether.


phatomch-
who's the better player

Pete "the charmer" singleton
lucy no cash
or
you?

Surely I'm not allowed to answer this one! I would have to say I am more successful online because Pete and Lucy hardly play online. Who knows about live.

Jamier-Host
Bloody good idea!  I assume it's not limited to just those specific phrases?

Yeh, you make the rules if you bring the game up. In 20 minutes I think I bought Stu Rutter about 8 shots of sambuca. He literally cannot stop talking about poker sometimes!

ty imo.

great thread, whats your handicap atm?

Sigh at the days of me playing on pacific. Was making 14ptbb/100 at 10/20nl over 45k hands. That's 28bb/100. I sure can even beat 2/4 online now.

Playing off 6.5 atm, I play less and less golf every year although this year I played most of my golf with the same 3 guys, 2 of whom play off 2 and +2. For those of you who don't know what +2 means, it means they are shit hot!!!! Has probably helped my game considerably.

wow that sounds crazy, bring back the old days.

Yeah plus 2 sounds insane.

Guy I went to school with was +2 at 18 years old, wanted to go pro, never made the cut.

I'm just not good enough to get much better. I think I could get down to 5 in my lifetime again, but that would be the limit. How I see it is:

18+ handicap: 3 rounds a week for a year would get you to this standard
12+ handicap: 3 or more rounds a week for 12-24 months with possibly some coaching thrown in
9+ handicap: As above but play more. Playing with better players will always get you there quicker.
7+ handicap: Getting to the good stage, not many people get this far. Can get here in as little as 2 years but will need some serious dedication. Starting younger helps
4-5+ handicap: Getting very sick now, 4 years minimum and that is rare. A bit of natural ability needed at this point as well as some serious dedication.
1+ handicap: In the elite of amateur golfers, about 2-3 per decent golf club exist of 2 or better handicapped players. As a guess, maybe 50 amateur golfers per county have a handicap of 2 or better. Natural talent starting to gleam here.

Any better than 0 is getting to the super elite, a lot of pro's turn pro when their handicap is around the +1-0 mark. If you were to watch my friend who plays off +2 for a few holes you wouldn't think he is as good as a +2. He isn't a very big hitter, he also just has a very simple swing but hand to god, he is as good as tiger at putting outside of 10 feet. He'd give the best chipper in the world a run for their money too, quite extraordinary to watch. He's mentally difficult to play match play against because you can never relax, when he has a putt from 60 feet with a ton of break you are always holding your breath when the ball is half way to the hole, everything looks like it's going in.

Yeah not unusual, a professional golfer on average is a very un-lucrative way to make a living. I had a friend who I played a lot with and went to school with that turned pro off +1 at about 20 years old. He wasn't the biggest hitters either but could tee two balls up and land them both on a picnic blanket. Couldn't putt for toffee though.

What also makes me chuckle is when I post a video of my swing or tell someone my handicap they say "WOWWWWW that's amazing!!!" and I just nod yet don't agree with them. I started golf at 13 and made a lot of friends through it, most of them surpassed me in ability yet we all played similar amounts. I see myself as just an average good golfer if that makes sense. I'll never win a club championship or break a course record. I've played over 1000 rounds in my life and shot under par once.

Here is my swing for the craic anyway:


YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppzI_ZGns4o

stance looks quite wide. is it?

hard to tell from behind, went for my first lesson since i was 14 (22 now) the other week because im literally stuck around 18 handicap. Every year ill play to around 12/14 sometimes but more often 20/22. He recorded my swing and now ive been doing it a lot more at the driving range and its helping a lot. Your swing seems fast mine is to the guy who gave me a lesson said i swing as quick as the top pros but this is not great for me at the minute because i dont hit the ball like them.

I have a big problem with a "cricket swing" things that are good for my cricket are horrendous for my golf and its really hard to get that fixed. Was amazing first video he did of me my head was so still right over the ball but literally did not move a muscle. In cricket great, in golf not so much far to ridged. I was thinking in cricket your trying to hit a moving ball so keeping as many things still as possible is great but in golf obviously with the ball being still there is not as much need for it.

I have a lot of flaws, where to begin..

You are correct with my wide stance, I play on a course that is 1000ft up in the cotswolds and it's very windy there. A lot of people from my golf club naturally have a wide stance. I also have a slightly shut setup, you will notice my feet pointing at the ride side of the fairway. I also have a grossly strong grip and I often sway a little too much.

yeh i have strong grip problems as well. Will try and upload a video of my swing from the other day for people to critic meant to do it on facebook the other day but never got around to it lots of my mates have gone on to be pretty good so would be good to hear their opinions.

You sound like a posh Gloucester lad  :D Am I far off the mark?

pingggggg

Spot on, I'm from Cheltenham. Although mentioning Gloucester to a Cheltonian is like asking a Dutchman if he is German.

Really interesting read, had no idea you had been on the scene for so long.

Quite sick, but this is my 9th year as a pro and 10 years playing.

Great read!

You lost me on those few golf pages though!

Dan, I know you mentioned game selection, but in terms of game-play, what single quality do you think separates a break-even/losing player from a winning player?

How much analysis do you do off the felt? What advise would you give to me to help me analyse my own play?

How important has community and poker friends been in your success?

Thanks,
Ash

I found game selection important years ago because the games were so good, you could not be great at poker but make a great living out of it by choosing the right games. Look at Andrew Feldman.

Nowadays you just need to be really good :P

I don't study as much as I should do, I probably do 1 big hand review a week and a small one thrown in too. I am always checking PHA and offer my support which I think helps. I think the best way for you to improve is to keep doing what you're doing. You post in PHA a lot and ask a lot of questions which is good. You're asking a lot of good questions too IMO, I still don't really know if you're beating the games yet but it's all about learning and you're on the right tracks.

Having friends that are good or better at the game than you are helps of course. A lot of people that I have shared a lot of poker info with in the past don't grind as much as they used to, however, in the past 18 months I've spent a lot of time analysing poker stuff with MC. He has taught me most of what I needed to know about turbos and I can vouch for him and say he really is one of the best turbo players around. I can't believe how bad I used to be with 20bb or less before he helped me get on the right tracks  :D.

Finally, coaching really helps. I offer coaching now and although this is the first time it's being announced, I'm going to be a coach with Deucescracked very soon and have already made my first video for their site.

dan, next time yr in bristol lets play crazy golf. i have about a -50 handicap but i'm game

Good answers thank you, and thank you for the feedback.

I do not put in enough volume in my MTTs to know if I am beating the games either I think, but I seem do be doing well. I think If I played more volume I'd play better too, reducing boredom/impatience and care less about bubbling/busting out early etc.

I'd be keen to add as many people from blonde on Skype as possible to chat about my game, but I haven't really been that close with anyone in the forums as yet.

I'd love to talk more about a coaching session or two if you had a moment Dan?

Best,
Ash
