THE INTERVIEW INDEX IS HALF WAY DOWN PAGE 17

Tikay has very kindly offered to be the first, thanks Tikay

1. Do you still drive ?

Yes, a bit.

2. Really, how many miles a week do you travel ?

Between 1,000 & 1,500 miles per week. It averages 1,200 miles per week.

3. Do you prefer a manual or Automatic gearbox

Automatic, I've not had a manual gearbox car for over 20 years.

4. Have you been on holiday this year, where did you go, (Vegas does not count ,that was work )

My whole life is a holiday, compared to when I used to do "real" work, so I dont need holidays. I did have a 3 day break up in North Yorkshire earlier this year, which was lovely, as there were so many beaurtiful places to see. Holidays, generally, don't suit me, as I am quite unable to just sit & relax, I need to always be doing something. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than have a beach holiday.

5. If you went abroad, where would you go.

St Petersburg (Russia), Nice (France), the West Coast of Scotland.

6.. Did you ever travel on the flying Scotsman ?

No, & never wanted to, it did nothing for me, it's much over-rated. The GWR Locos & Trains were of much superior engineering quality. My railway fascination really centres on Brunel's materpieces, particularly the GWR.

7. Ever been on the Orient Express ?

As above, no interest really. Any scheduled GWR service from Paddington to Penzance or, say, Fishguard holds far more interest to me.

8. Do you hate flying or just Helicopters

I hate helicopters, they scare me. I was scared of flying, so I overcome my fear by booking a 13 hour flight to Honolulu, Hawaii, with a young lady, when I was in my thirties. I'm OK with fixed-wing flying now.

9. Has Compo ever let you finish a sentence

Once.

10. Have you got Sky TV in your house, which package, family, sport,films, or all of them.

I have the full Sky TV Package at home, everything. But I've not watched TV at home for over 18 months. I may slow down next year, & try & find time to watch Natural Science TV (animals, wildlife, etc), & major Sporting Events, such as the Open Golf, The Masters, the Lords Test, Royal Ascot, Cheltenham Festival, Moto, Wimbledon, World Series Baseball, etc. I just adore "big Sport" TV, it is covered so well these days, but I have not seen any of these for over 4 years.

11. Do the older poker ladies ever try to chat you up.

Yes, amazingly. Intelligent female company is one of my passions, age is irrelevant.

12 Do you hate Dentists, I do can't stand'em

Yes. I'm scared of pain.

13 When you cook a big fry up, do you put the chips in first, or the sausages

I have not cooked for 3 years.I only cook when I'm dieting, & I only cook Spag Bol.

Hi Longy

Q How long have you been playing poker ?

Properly since 2004, used to play stupid 5 card stud with wild cards at university before that.

Q How long on Blonde ?

I wasn't quite one of the founding members but not far off, over 3 years.

Q Which sites do you play on?

Mainly party these days but have accounts on well over 20 online sites.

Q Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos?

I don't play live often, if i do it is almost exclusively at DTD which is only a 10 min car ride away.
I find live play quite boring as i multitable online and am used to playing around 1000 hands an hour online,
whereas getting 20 hands an hour live i find really slow paced.

Q Had any big wins yet?

No not really i play at most 10 mtts a year and that is where the big money is.
I chopped a few small tournies at Gala Notts a couple of years back, but nothing more than a £1000.

Q Do you play every day?

Yes unless im on holiday or socialising with friends.

Q Where did you go on holiday this year

I have been to Dresden for a friends wedding and Bratislava for a stag do this year.
I am off to Snowdonian tommorow to see my parents and will be going out to Cairo for Christmas probably,
as my mum works for the foreign office out there. I am currently planning a road trip round the US
with my younger brother for late this year or early in 2009.

Q How many miles a week do you drive

Typically no more than 20 miles a week, I rarely use my car as i don't have to travel to work.
Occasionally it will be more if im away for the weekend somewhere.

Q Do you prefere on line or Live?

Online it is my job and the fast paced nature of the game keeps me interested.
My reasons for not being so keen on live can be seen above.

Q Who's your favorite Poker Pro?

Hmmm tough one, I like Daniel Negreanu's attitude to the game he seems to really enjoy the game.
Players like Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius for being at the top of the game online and live.

Q Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish?

No i don't play the circuit or play any big mtts so haven't really played any of the superstar tv pros.

Q Whats your favorite restaurant, Chinese, Indian , french, Thai?

Indian ftw, though to be honest i love all good food as my rather overweight build would suggest.
I would be happy to go to any of the above genre of restaurants.

Q Does your wife/partner play poker?

I am single so N/A

Thanks for the chat, great answers

The Tank

How long have you been playing poker ?

I've been playing now for around 4 years, and the blinds are getting silly.

How long on Blonde ?

I think I joined in late 2005

Which sites do you play on

For the main part of my "career" I started on Party, moved to Pokerstars, then Tribeca (on the wonderful blonde skin obv)
After Tribecca disolved I wasn't so much a fan of i-poker so moved back to Pokerstars.

Now that I play part-time, I'm on Full Tilt poker

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

Not that much anymore. I evaluated what I want from poker, and it's no longer to luckbox my way to a big live win
and all the quodos that goes alongside that.

My goals are currently non poker related, and I just see poker as a way to finance my studys.

Had any big wins yet

I take pride in my grinding, it's not about the big wins for me.

My biggest live cash was winning a £500 event. Don't tell anyone that there were only six entrants.

Do you play every day

I play six days a week, but most weeknights it's only a small session. Tonight i played 3 tournaments and that was it.

Where did you go on holiday this year

I've had a crazy 18 months with topsy turvy personal circumstances, I haven't really had a holiday.

Not that I need one, when you're a "professional" gambler, your whole life is a holiday. It's no longer my occupation,
I'm a full-time student now, but the same thing applies.

I go to Loch Ness for a weekend soon, but I can't talk much about that because it's top secret.

How many miles a week do you drive

I'm not a driver. Failed my test twice recently (silly red lights)
Really should get around to taking a few maore lessons soon.

Do you prefere on line or Live

Live for fun, online for paying the bills.

I prefer fun naturally, but have to pay the bills.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

Good question. None of the big names probably, because I don't watch poker on the telly much.

I've got a lot of respect for grinders, people who study the game and put high premium on bettering themselves,
who keep their ego in check and are open to new ideas and take time out to help people.
Folk like Longy and byronkincaid I have a lot of time for.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

I played a few circuit events in 2005/2006 and played with a few. Poker isn't about the celebrities for me though,
I really don't have much of a clue as to who is up and coming on the scene nowadays, or who is on the most TV shows.
I don't watch any of them.

Whats your favorite restaurant, Chinese, Indian , french, Thai

I'll try anything, although given the choice, not the biggest fan of seafood.

Does your wife/partner play poker

My wife and I are currently seperated. She doesn't really play, although I trained her up to the point
wherby she could take over a batch of sit and gos for 2 minutes while I made a dash to the bathroom.

Thanks

yw Smiley

Silo Graham

Hi Graham

How long have you been playing poker ?

Just about 3 years now

How long on Blonde ?

Same, I found blonde pretty much straight away, October 2005

Which sites do you play on

Stars, Tilt and blonde mainly but bits on most of the larger sites

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

Now and again, not as often as I'd like

Had any big wins yet

Nothing major, few nice mtt wins online

Do you play every day

Most days

Where did you go on holiday this year

Going to South Africa end of October

How many miles a week do you drive

50ish

Do you prefere on line or Live

Live is more fun, but I can play more online

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

Not sure, there's quite a few

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

Yeah a few at the GUKPT Blackpool last year, it was great to share a table with them.

Whats your favorite restaurant, Chinese, Indian , french, Thai

Chinese and Thai (can I have two?)

Does your wife/partner play poker

lol no, she's not keen

Thanks

Any time, anythin for The Crow Smiley

The lovely Tracey Dell

Hi Tracey

How long have you been playing poker ?

I play intermittently - sometimes it seems like I'm playing a different game to everyone else but I've been trying to play poker for 4 years

How long on Blonde ?I met Tikay at one of my first games in Brighton 4 years ago and he told em about Blonde.
I came on to have a look and was smitten.

Which sites do you play on

I rarely play on line, if I do it's Blonde, Sky, PS or Blue Square.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

Luton and DTD mainly but I love playing in new venues with new players.

Had any big wins yet

I had a bit of a purple period a few years ago and in the space of two months I was lucky enough to come third at Luton and chop it for £30,000. I then played in an invitation only game at the Palm beach and got another £30k (my backer took the lions share of that one)
and then got just over £8k at Brighton a few weeks later.

I get a few cashes now and again and recently I've started to take it seriously again and my results have improved.
It's more important to me now to do well than it was a few years ago.

Do you play every day

No-but I always talk poker everyday in one way or another.

Where did you go on holiday this year

I used to go on holiday all the time but this year I've just been to Greece for a friends wedding
and spent a few precious days in Yorkshire earlier this year.

How many miles a week do you drive

Not that many, a couple of hundred maxiumum.

Do you prefere on line or Live

Live every time although Sky Poker is the next best thing, you get the live interaction on line.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

I'm fickle so I change who I admire from time to time. At the moment I am watching Alan Cunningham
whose consistency fascinates me. Home grown it has to be Julian Thew.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

Yes. Does Compo and Albert Sapiano count? Inevitably if you play the larger buy ins - which I used to a lot
- then you will play against the pro's. In my mind they are no different from anyone else,
they just get the chance to play a lot more which can give them an edge.

Whats your favorite restaurant, Chinese, Indian , french, Thai

Anything where the company is good. I love cooking/entertaining but recently I've not had the chance.
I've just moved and I'm looking forward to welcoming people into my new home for good honest food.

Does your wife/partner play poker

No. He works in an aquarium.

Thanks great answers, Is he a fish ?

Mr. Kinboshi

How long have you been playing poker ?
3 years and a bit? Actually, that can't be right, so it must be 4 years now.

How long on Blonde ?
Joined blonde (note the small 'b') in October 2006.

Which sites do you play on
Cash on blonde. Tournaments on blonde and PokerStars

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos
I play regularly (most weekends) at DTD, and play the APAT events at casinos across the UK (as well as Ireland).

Had any big wins yet
Started playing online, solely playing cash. Built up my bankroll from an initial £20 deposit. Then a friend told me about an APAT event at the Broadway casino. So I played a few tournaments online, played twice in a casino and then played the APAT event.

I got lucky.

Do you play every day
Used to. Probably play two or three times a week online at the moment, and then once or twice live.

Where did you go on holiday this year
I didn't.

How many miles a week do you drive
Not many any more. I drive about 10 miles to the office, but share the drive with a colleague. So 25 miles a week on average to and from work, and then whatever I do at the weekend (usually the 60-mile round trip to DTD).

Do you prefer on line or Live
Live is more fun.

Who's your favourite Poker Pro
Don't know really. Greg Raymer always comes across as a nice fella. Daniel Negreanu seems to know his stuff and is always good to watch on telly.

Neither of them are as lovely as Maria Demetriou though - so I think she wins.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish
Played on the same table as Jon 'Skalie' Kalmar at DTD on the 50p/£1 tables! I think he was playing scared... I've played against Aces and Paul Jackson at blonde Bashes. Both great fun to play against.

I was lucky enough to win a seat to the EPT in Copenhagen, and obviously there were a lot of pros playing in that, including the ubiquitous Scandies such as Lodden and Boaken, and some of the Yanks such as Cloutier and McEvoy, as well as quite a few Brits.

Whats your favorite restaurant, Chinese, Indian , french, Thai
Japanese. Followed by Indian.

Does your wife/partner play poker
No, she's a poker widow.

Can I print this on the web site
Of course!

Hi m8

How long have you been playing poker ?

Where did you go on holiday this year

This year ive been to Feurteventura, Centre Parcs, Holiday cottage in Wales where it pissed down all week

How many miles a week do you drive
i drive 300 or so a week, i live in the stick so you have to drive for everything.

Do you prefere on line or Live
I love both forms of poker, live for the banter and the craic (and the softer players) and online for the convenience.

Bibo Ergo Sum

the mighty Mr. Tighty

Hi Mr. T

Some of us new members don't know the stories of how you and the other founders started Blonde

Thanks for giving us a quick recap must seem like Deja Vu

How long have you been playing poker ?

October 2004. Was in the old Luton casino one midweek night, trying to waste a quiet night.
Saw the poker room from afar. Entered on a whim and final tabled.

The forum since Jan 05 when it started. The card-room began in 2006, so since then

Which sites do you play on

blonde, Full Tilt, stars, occasionally others

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

Had any big wins yet

Yes. £five figures the biggest though I stopped playing the circuit in 2006.

Do you play every day

And now the legend interviewer Mr. Barry Carter

Hi Barry

Who was the hardest person to get an Interview with

The Superuser guy.
And MateyBoy, he remains pretty aloof.

Who was the Silliest person you every interviewed

I guess it was Andy Black, hes all religeous n that, Hellmuth comes joint 2nd

How far have you traveled for an Interview (longest trip)

Vegas technically, but I was going there anyway, every interview Ive ever done has been opportunistic,
ie. I took the oppo to interview people in the next place I was going, rather than going there to interview them.

Who was your favorite

Steve Davis, legend

Did any lady Poker players ask you out ?

Vicky Coren once asked me to get out of her way.

Are you going to "BIG UP" Simon Trumper for taking out Phil Hellmuth

What those two boys do in their personal life is none of my business, good luck to them though, they make a cute couple.

Who was the worst interviewee and why

Hellmuth I guess, he was nice enough but did nothing to shake off the egotistical image I had of him,
within one minute without me asking him anything he had already said "well Barry, as you know Im the greatest player of all time"

do you travel to Vegas very often, where do you stay

Not that often, but its about to be a twice a year jobby all being well. The Sahara is good value for money if you can book early.

Can I print this on the Blonde web site

Of course

Thanks Dave, great answers 9 out 10, gold star

Now Mr. Jizzemm

Hi m8

How long have you been playing poker ?

Probably about 4 to 5 years ago

How long on Blonde ?

10 minutes for a blonde, brunette all night.. Seriously 18 months

Which sites do you play on

I do actually play on blonde, nice loyalty payment, although new job does not give me much time to play anymore.
Got some money on most sites so have a dabble here and there when ipoker decide to give me a rough time

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

I try and play APAT events and also try and qualify for any of the Virgin poker festivals,
along with the odd Chezger game and monday night game organised by LOJ at the local Cricket Club

Had any big wins yet

Virgin Poker Terminator Event in DTD is my proudest poker monent, 1st place with 7 scalps as welll,
a local comp in the old Grosvener in Liverpool as well.

Do you play every day

Used to play every day, but work now means that my online poker time is very limited,
but i try and get in a few Double Money STT's now and then along with the odd tournament
and blonde events if their held on my days off

Where did you go on holiday this year

damm forgot to book one

How many miles a week do you drive

Probably about 100 in total, blame it on the Credit Crunch, cant afford to drive anymore

Do you prefere on line or Live

I prefer Live for sure, but enjoy the banter of the online blonde and APAT games

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

How can it be anyone else but Chili (brother loves her ). Also live Ivy and Roland,
the way they handle themselfs on a poker table is something else.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

Was fortunate to be able to share a table with Aces at a game in DTD, other than that I suppose Tikay, Compo, Maria and a few other blondes count.

Your right Mr. Tank,

But Some people give some cracking answers lol Did you like Dave shoelaces ?

Did you notice Sky are interviewing blondes on the club now too. Think I have got 'em scared of the competition

Heres a good 'un

Mr. Dave Compton COMPO

Hi Dave,

Mind if we have a chat ?

How long have you and Tikay been friends
Iv'e known Tikay for about 6 years. He is much more than just a friend, more like a Dad.

When you play him heads up who usually wins

He has never lasted as long as me in a tournament so I have yet to have the pleasure of totally pawning him.

You only post a few times on Blonde ever thought of starting your own thread and posting a daily diary

As a professional journalist I don't think they could afford me.

Have you been to Vegas lately, how did you get on

Missed this year unfortunately.

Which tournaments do you like to play in ? The small entry club matches , or the big internationals
My meta game won't allow me to play small entry tournies. I am also a big believer in the Dunnibg-Kruger effect.

(Looked this up , its people who know a littl, think they know a lot, and people who DO know a lot, say they don't know much)

Can you tell us a short history of Blonde
She began life as Debbie Harry and was at the forefront of the US punk movement before maturing into a first class MILF

Thanks dave, see you at luton on saturday
I wish. Work commitments say otherwise

Can I put the answers on the blonde web page ?
It would be crime not to.

Had a very nice reply from Phil Cooklin today, thanks Phil SNATIRAMAS

Hi Phil,

Your thread is entertaining and a good read - Sir you are far too kind. I only started doing it as the thought of dieting made me so angry I had to get the anger out somehow......Wouldn't have done it on any other site to be honest.

Tell us about your poker

How long have you been playing poker ? Five and a half years. I started by playing live at the old Grosvenor in Luton. The Tuesday night rookie nights were a great place to go and learn. Steve Templeman, Willie Tann and a whole host of others

How long on Blonde ? December 15, 2005, 04:18:46 PM..........I was a voyeur for a bit before then

Which sites do you play on.......Used to play on Laddies and Stars......now play Blondepoker and sky when I play on line which is not very often now

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos........played in clubs but most of the time in casinos......never in a pub

Had any big wins yet.......No life changing ones which is my definition of a big win

Do you play every day.........No. Poker remains a hobby. I play because I want to, not because I have to. I take regular breaks from the game. It is after all very intrusive as regards time. I go on this site pretty much every day though because I love its diversity

Where did you go on holiday this year..... Went to the Cotswolds and had a great time in spite of the weather. Funny if you do not expect good weather then it really does not matter if it is raining.

How many miles a week do you drive.......I do about 20k a year....ergo 400 / week.

Do you prefer on line or Live. Online has enabled me to go and do all sorts of poker events that I would not otherwise have done. Ladbrokes poker cruise, WPT in the Bahamas, the WSOP main event, the Irish Open and other bits and pieces. So I love online but Live poker FTW

Who's your favorite Poker Pro.......Daniel Negreanu........just strikes me as a good bloke

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish......Had a table with Jennifer Harman, Joe Hachem and The Camel in the Bahamas which was great fun. My first ever final table had Aces on it at Luton. It was a rookie night and he was there promoting a website. I knocked him out with some filth like 9,7 off.

Whats your favorite restaurant,( Liter life powder). Lighter life shake I like is Banana mixed with instant coffee. Bar is cranberry. Favourite restaurant is the Orrery or Palais Du Jardin. Blooms is a close third.

Does your wife/partner play poker. No she thinks all players are saddo's. She likes the money I win though.

Can I print this on the web site..........Of course you can

Thanks....No thank you for bringing something different to the site

Last PRIMO survivor tonight George2loose

Thanks for answering

No worries crow

Hope I can print'em on Blonde

Fire away!

Hey, My point was I'm having much more fun on here

Hey just got another post from James FLUSHY

Mr. Flush is travelling , but has found time to send in this

Started playing hold'em about 10years ago at home with my Brother and Dad. First played 'properly' Jan 2003 (William Hill poker)

How long on Blonde ?

Not one of the early crowd but been here a long while. I was a devout Hendon Mob'er but I made the move across in May 2005.

Which sites do you play on?

I play most of my poker on Stars, Full Tilt, Ladbrokes, Party and BlueSquare (ipoker) but have accounts on the other networks as well.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

Just at Casino's for me, mostly in the Rendezvous Brighton but when i get bored i venture anywhere for a good festival
(although haven't done so this year)

Had any big wins yet

Nothing yet but a ridiculous number of close encounters, it will happen soon!

Do you play every day

God no, does anyone actually do that?

Where did you go on holiday this year

Toronto for new year, Vegas in Jan for annual piss up, French alps Skiing in Febuary after that got stuck into playing poker for a bit but went to Cannes last month (albeit for a tournament) taking the missus on a Caribbean Cruise in Nov and going to Vegas in December might sneak out to Cyprus in a couple of weeks as well but not sure about that yet.

How many miles a week do you drive

About 6k a year so i guess around 100 a week.

Do you prefer on line or Live

Online for money making, live for just having fun and winning money without thinking.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

Gus Hansen probably takes the title, i love the way he breaks hands down and figures out a move, of similar ilk would be Dan Negreanu but he just isn't as funny!

Online Pro's i would say the likes of Moorman/Westmenlow/Annette for tournaments and Patrick Antonious/Durr for cash

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

Played with pretty much everyone on the UK circuit including Simon before his retirement, played with Gus Hansen and Dan Negreanu from the US scene. Played lots of top live and online names on line as well always fun!

Whats your favorite restaurant, Chinese, Indian , french, Thai

French, they do food pretty damn well! Can't play poker though.

Does your girlfriend/partner play poker

She actually played last night for the first time ever, went through hand rankings with her then got her on a small FLHE game in which she won 34 big bets in 1hr, wiiiii

Can I print this on the web site

Of course you can Mr Crow!

Thanks

No Thankyou! Am very much enjoying your posts and it was a pleasure to meet you at BB7!

Now the very lovely Laxie

As a blonde regular, it must hard living in Ireland to come and play in local tourneys

Blimey. First off, I feel privileged to even be considered for one of your infamous interviews, so thanks for that. Yeah, it can be a pain to have to travel over all the time, but they always make me feel very welcome, which is why I always return.

Do you drive or fly to UK

Fly every time. They drive like complete nutters over there, so I'm ok with missing out on that fun.

Which airport , is it Ryan Air

I live 25 minutes from Kerry Airport, but Cork or Shannon will do too. Desperate times call for desperate measures and all that.

Do you bring the family or leave 'em behind

Would love to bring the kids over to meet everyone, but casinos in the UK don't allow them in, so they stay at home. Bring 'Himself' the odd time, but not afraid to travel it alone.

Have you been to Vegas, any luck ?

Never. Went to AC for a night (the day after we were married in 1990) and cleaned up at the black jack table for a whopping $50. Was delighted. Dream of going to Vegas some day, but not counting on it. A girl can dream, can't she?

Have you ever played on a table with any poker pros

First ever live game I had Lucy Rokach sat at my table. Sigh.

How did it go

Was scared to death!!! She was knocked out in the top 20 and I went out in fabulous fashion in 5hth place, but was delighted to have lasted longer than one of my idols at the time.

Are you coming over for the next Sky tour in Birmingham

Half afraid to play satellites for anything in the UK because I have great luck at winning the seats. By the time you add flights and hotel into the gig and then throw in the 'holiday' factor, I'm dead money and cost my house too much to justify the trip.

Do you live near any poker Casino's pubs/clubs

I started the first ever Hold Em tourney in our area 2 years ago. It's held in the local country pub and gets 30 or more runners every Thursday night.

There's a card room 25 minutes away, but they're taking the piss with their rake/reg fees, so I refuse to play there. 20 buy in + 10 reg? Uhhhhhh, I don't think so!

Closest 'legit' game is just over an hour away, so I stick to the local pub, reg free donk fests. Those comps would make The Duke look like a solid player...shocking! lol

Thanks for answering the questions

My pleasure. Thanks for asking.

hope to see you again soon

You too pet. You are a crow after all, so surely I can call you 'pet', no?

Can i print this on the web page

Would be offended if you didn't after spending 30 minutes anserwing the damn thing

Tonight is the Vegas legend CHOMPY IMO

Hi Chompy

How long have you been playing poker ?

My first experience was in 1999, at Circus Circus, but nothing for a couple of years
after that and only played regularly for the last four years or so.

Which sites do you play on Sky Poker. Is there any other?

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

Never played in a pub. I was a regular at Gutshot for a year or so but now play mainly at Luton.
The standard is high there, at least among the Monday, Wednesday, Sunday brigade.
Still play occasionally at The Western/Palm Beach.

Had any big wins yet Six bracelets and three EPTs. CROW>> Only 6

Do you play every day
Pretty much. I play live two or three times a week and, if I'm not playing, I usually at least watch poker on TV.
The Club is still a bit rough round the edges and open to improvement but I usually watch.
That Micky Wernick interview a while ago was quality. Tikay is a legend. Compo is no Trevor Harris but,
if I was a woman, oooh that voice...

Where did you go on holiday this year

Vegas twice, the June stint almost killed me. Back there next month. Love it, will probably do the usual
and play an average of 12 hours a day, every day. Few other Lutoners going out, should be a good trip.

How many miles a week do you drive
No more than 200. Cinema, Luton and back, not much else. Work from home.

Do you prefer on line or Live
Online is not poker to me, live is the only way.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro
Vince Calenti, Seb Nimier, Nick Slade. Or, more seriously, I've been particularly impressed by Gavin Smith and Mark Vos, especially the latter. Domestically Sam Trickett is definitely somebody to watch.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish
Played briefly with aces but never with Devilfish. Wouldn't want to particularly, find him extremely annoying.
I've played with a number of the bigger US names, wasn't as impressed by any of them as much as G.Smith and M.Vos.

Whats your favorite restaurant,English, French, Greek, Eskimo, Moroccan

Turkish, two kebabs a week minimum for me.

Does your wife/partner play poker
N/A imo

Can I print this on the web site
Yes imo

Thanks your a Star

Pocketlady again

I met Danni Allen at the G in Luton last weekend,

and I looked up her interview after RED-DOG's and spotted she had done rather well in 2 years.

She had said "Last year I came 3rd at the Poker 6 in Bolton for £12k"

This lady has started at the top with the best players. No wonder she was so cool playing the A.P.A.T. players

I decided to find out more. (with her permission)

Can you tell us more about the poker 6 in Bolton

Did you win a satellite to play there? Yes, I won a GUKPT satellite seat on Bsq from a magazine freeroll. As it was during the WSOP the GUKPT was on a break for a month, but they had a filler event instead, The Poker 6, so I used my seat to play a satellite for that, and then won the satellite. It was the first comp I had played over £100 so it was a huge thing to me then.

How did it go the first day best hand , worst hand etc. The first day was a bit of a roller coaster. On day 1 it was a six handed shootout, so you had to win your table to progress. About half an hour in and I had already taken a hit when I folded my QQ to Liam Flood on a J high flop. I'd never played him before but I soon realised that that was probably a huge mistake. My most memorable hand from day one was a pot against Mickey Wernick where I got him to pay me off on an AAxxx board when I had A10. It was me, Liam Flood, and Mick Fletcher three handed, which I found incredibly difficult because they are both such strong/aggressive players to begin with, let alone 3 handed. Finally Liam was gone and Mick and I were heads up. At one point I was down to 5k chips with 36 in play but I hit one lucky double up to put me back in the game, before eventually managing to beat him somehow! I must admit I did get lucky heads up, but you've gotta have a bit of luck surely!

How was it on day 2 . On day two it returned to a normally six-handed tournament format (not a shootout) and we were deepstacked with 36k and the blinds starting at 100/200. It was a very long day! The lowest point I got down to was about 16k, but over the next few hours I managed to knock a few people out and reached the final table as chip leader.

Did you get on the final Table? Yep, A little while into the final and my chips had slipped and I needed to do something about it. I made a raise in the cut off with AK and David Smith pushed all in on the button. He had me covered by about 3k. I dwelled for ages, and it was one of the most nervewracking desicions ever, but eventually I went with my gut and called. He turned over AQ, happy days!! Nothing hit and I as good as sent him to the rail.

Eventually we got down to three handed. I had been dominating the table all night, but I was getting a bit low again. The button raised and I looked down at JJ. I shoved and he instacalled me with A10. First card out was an ace and I was going home. We had done a deal earlier in the evening and there was only about £6k difference between 1st and 3rd, so not a bad result for my first bif tournament. I was chuffed to bits!

Did you get Interviewed? Yep, it was shown on Sky Poker, but then my silly mum deleted it from the Sky Plus box which I was not very happy about!!

What are your ten starting hands? Favourite? AA, KK, QQ, 1010, AK, AQ, KQ, QJ, J10, J9

Which hand is your favorite? J10 or J9 if we are being sentimental, if not AA all the way

Which hand is your lucky hand? 7d5d Northampton Nut's

What hand do you hate getting JJ definitely. I'm terrified of it and always over play it preflop and then find myself overcommitted on a dodgy flop.

Who taught you to play poker ? Lol, well I was first introduced to poker by Blonde's very own sharplea.
He taught me the basics when we used to go to a local pub league. The person who taught me the most about more advanced poker was circuit pro Kevin 'Lovejoy' O'Leary. I learnt an awful lot from watching him. Must say that Blonde has been a huge resource to my game
over the last year as well.

They did a good job, you showed no fear up against those APAT players on Saturday

Did you win a satellite to play in the APAT pro-am at Luton? Nope, I got staked for 50% on Blonde and put up the rest myself.

Do you know Chiprich and Leknave? Hmmm..I was a bit drunk at a blonde bash so not sure I ever actually got a chance to speak to them,
but I know them from their sheer fame of course!

End of part 1

Pocket Lady part 2

Danni has started a thread called" Teaching,"( See September 23rd in the Lounge)

Can I do a second Interview ? Go on then..

Do you play any musical instruments ? Yep, I've played the Violin for 17 years,
the Clairnet, the Piano, and I also sing and play acoustic guitar.

Do they ask you to cover and teach another subject?

When I originally went to uni I was studying molecular biology as all my A-Levels are in Science, but I changed to Music halfway through my course. You're not normally asked to teach lessons other than your speciality but you cover illness etc, and the normal teacher leaves work set for the kids. But I'm hoping to get some Science experience in during my training so I can teach both.

How much Homework do you set ? For music homework is normally only set for GCSE and A Level students

How do you deal with noisy students? There's different techniques that people use. One of the teachers at my school puts his hand up
until the class notice him and be quiet and put their hands up too. The school has a system where naughty pupils get their name put on the board. If they get a tick next to their name they get a 15 min detention etc.

so as well as playing top class poker ,she's a trainee teacher as well.

Tonight its the nice Welsh boy TheChipPrince

Have you always lived in Wales?

Yes, until the last 2 months when I moved to Chester to live with the young lady. Spent 3 years in Wolverhampton Uni too, but finished there 4 1/2 years ago now. Lived in a village called Llandrillo, and i'll always be a country boy at heart I think, but with my girlfriend just starting Uni in Chester, and me working in Chester it was the obvious decision really for the moment.

Do you speak Welsh

My first language is English, as my step-father always spoke it at home as he's English, spoke Welsh in school, but not any more i'm afraid, out of practice... One of the things i'm a little embarrassed about.

Where do you go to play poker Live?

Living in the sticks is not ideal for live poker, but when Jizzemm lived in Liverpool (he's an ex-Llandrillo boy too) i went to Liverpool grosvenor with him severla times. Now only DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) really, am yet to pay for anything there in about 10 visits so far!! Smiley DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) points FTW!

Er, yes, could see at least 3 fields from my old bedroom window!

Aberystwyth - Been there Crow? CROW>> yes once, stayed an hour all seaweed on rocks, smelly

How long have you been playing poker ?

Umm, i reckon it was quite early, about 2000/2001 in the early years of late night poker. Played a few stt's in Uni, but been playing seriously for the last 2 years.

Which sites do you play on?

DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) poker and Blonde at the mo. Dont get to play as many MTT's as i'd like because of the time needed, but do play around 1000 STT's a month. Dont play any cash tables, well, very rarely, having never been more than a break even cash player.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos?

Casino's i guess, and DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/), whatver class that falls in

Had any big wins yet?

Had about 8 scores over $2k, $4.8k the biggest

Do you play every day?

I try to yep, cant get enough.

Where did you go on holiday this year?

Havent been yet, but still have 2 weeks to book off before xmas so hopoing to go to New York for 4 days before xmas with abit of luck.

How many miles a week do you drive?

Good question. Up until 2 months ago i drove 70 miles a day round trip to work. Now its 5.6! Depending on where my football is on saturday my milage can range from 120 miles a week up to 500.

Do you prefer on line or Live?

Online I think, its where 'grew-up' in poker terms, my live experience is nowhere near my online experience.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro?

Phil (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=708) Hellmuth (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=708). CROW>> HEllmuth !!

And Now all the way from Leicester Technolog

Hi Martyn, FFS it's Jack!

How long have you been playing poker? Started trying to play in 2005 - still failing miserably.

Please tell any stories of the early days of Blonde Not been on long enough – the weekend I signed up,

kinboshi won the English Amateur Poker Championship – now that’s funny!

Which sites do you play on. I play on Virgin, Blonde, Blue Square. My regular game is the €22 Deepstack on Boss but I like to play the blonde forum games.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos. I go to the APAT events as a sort of buffet inspector more than anything.

Had any big wins yet. My biggest are around the £1,000 mark – nothing spectacular – I need to be a card rack to win see?

Do you play every day Pretty much,I just play the one MTT whether I’m out after 5 mins or 5 hours.

Where did you go on holiday this year [Thinly veiled brag post] Vegas baby yeah!

How many miles a week do you drive About 100

Do you prefer on line or Live. I’ve had more success online but had some fantastic weekends away meeting great people and kinboshi.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro Ram Vaswani

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish. I played Tikay, does he count? ldon

Whats your favorite restaurant, Wimpy, burger King, schnizzle-my-nizzle, tripe -U- like, Yeti. All of these are fine – lard ftw.

You don’t get to 20stone by being picky sir!

Does your wife/partner play poker. My lodger does. No I’m not gay.

Can I print this on the web site. I didn’t use all my ink for nothing!

Thanks , every little helps As a Tesco shareholder I may have to report you for breach of copyright.

And now SHERIFF FATMAN

Hi m8

As an early member of Blonde, how has the site changed since the early days

> It still has a community feel to it which sets it apart from the other poker sites. Growth in numbers brought a few issues along the way but, to me, it's still pretty much the same place as it always was.

Which sites do you play on

> At the moment mainly Full Tilt and Party. I should really play more on blonde than I do, but Kev's lever is vicious!

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

> Occasionally at Luton G and the APAT live events. Try to make it out to Vegas at least once a year.

Had any big wins yet

> My highest profile win was undoubtedly the GUKPT Online Main Event in July, which was worth $18.5k plus a couple of GUKPT entries. I've also had a few reasonable cashes in European ranking events, mainly at the old Luton Grosvenor. £7.5k was the biggest one.

Nothing life-changing but enough to keep me ticking along.

Do you play every day

> In the last couple of months, yes. Prior to that I'd hardly played in about 18 months due to work commitments. Work permitting, I play for an hour or two after work each evening most days as a way to wind down.

Where did you go on holiday this year

> Going to LA and Las Vegas next week.

How many miles a week do you drive

> Depends on whether I go to the football. Barnsley FC home games are a 270 mile round trip so that bumps the miles up a bit. Probably about 18k miles a year.

Do you prefer on line or Live

> I love playing live but don't get that much opportunity to do so. I'm happy to do both.

With live play I can sit there for hours (10+) and not really notice the time go by. Online, I tend to play in 2-3 hour sessions.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

> Greg Raymer is a great ambassador of the game, and a nice guy to boot. Of the UK players I've got a lot of respect for Joe Grech. Entertainment wise I also like to watch players such as Marcel Luske and Sammy Farha who are entertaining to watch without being obnoxious.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

> I played Greg Raymer in a heads up match on Stars when he was world champ (it was a bonus prize after winning the old King of the Zoo league on 2+2). I couldn't believe how many people railed it (pity, as he wiped the floor with me).

I've played against many of the UK 'faces' in the ranking events I've played over the last few years. Some, like Joe Grech and Mickey Wernick, are top class. Many of the others I've encountered are over-rated.

Whats your favorite restaurant,French, Italian, spud u like, Chinese

> Italian, but my wife has coeliacs (gluten intolerance) so we don't often do Italian nowadays.

Does your wife/partner play poker

> She has been known to and understands more about the game than she'd like to admit to. However, she gets bored after about half an hour of playing and doesn't get any sort of 'buzz' from playing.

She played the first blonde bash event, but hasn't played any of the others she's been to. She's happy enough to sit in the bar and chat.

Can I print this on the web site

> Given that I've spent literally seconds of my life on it, I'm hoping the effort doesn't go to waste!

Thanks very much good answers gold Star

> You're welcome.

Had a reply from Simon "Aces " Trumper

Hi , Simon

I have been doing interviews of all the Blonde players and would like to ask a few to you if you have time

When did you first get involved with Blonde?

I have been a member since it started , for more details on my career here is my site www.simonacestrumper.com

Did you know many of the original founders before Blonde got started

I knew Dave & Rhowena from the circuit and had heard of Tikay but not formally met him.

Are you friends with any of the Hendon Mob, seen any recently

All of them but more so Joe and Barney who i saw along with Ross at the WSOP-E

DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) is a great success, It must mean putting in many many hours of planning to make things run smoothly, good job m8

It is a team effort.

Can you tell the story of WSOPE in London, how you managed to knock out Hellmuth, did you beat any others

After bleeding away a few chips to missed flops / draws i was down to 8775 with the blinds still 200 400 , it was the last hand before dinner and Phil announced he was raising blind if no one else did , all folded to me , i finally had a hand AKQJds and raised to 1400 , the cameras were on Phil and he called leaving himself 325 , flop was Q 3 3 , i bet his last 325 and he called saying he was still blind , i tabled my hand but ever the showman he asked if we could see the rest of the flop first before he showed , i agreed , turn was a 2 river 7 , Phil turned over one at a time 4 5 6 6 and was out . This was like scoring an equaliser just before half time , my first real pot worth 4050 taking me back up to 11,100.

great result

thanks Simon

Now one of the "Young Guns " of Poker HORNERIS

Hi Brent,,

How long have you been playing poker?

Ever since i introduced it to our 6th form college, then spent an entire 2 years playing 5p/10p and later 10p/20p cash and skipping every lesson to do so. Me and a couple of friends (not LeKnave & ChipRich) sometimes used to cheat and take home upto £20 a day profit, which was decent when i was like 17. It got very popular and a lot of the time there were 2 tables running in the common room.

Which sites do you play on?

Party, Full Tilt, Stars, Blonde

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos?

I sometimes play at The Fox & Grapes . srsly, who plays in Pubs?!?!
I dont really like playing live much as its very boring but can rarely play at DTD, Moortown Grovesnor Leeds, ALEA Casino Leeds.

Had any big wins yet?

Erm, had a $7.5k win, a $6k win and numerous $5kish wins. No massive wins yet :-(

What are your other hobbies outside of Poker?

Gambling, Drinking, Lying down in a dark room, LoL owning LeKnave heads up, Playing tennis, going to watch Leeds United, Horse Racing, watching stuff on Ninjavideo.

Do you play every day?

No, i go through spells where i play every day for like 4 days and cant wait to play, but i also go through spells where i find Poker boring and don't wana play at all and just wana do other stuff.

Where did you go on holiday this year?

Just Florida. Although next year going to Florida, Canada and Vegas, weeee, cant wait.

How many miles a week do you drive?

I work 5 days a week and the place i work is 14 miles away.
So i guess 5 x 28 =140, and i go other places too such as Leeds matches and the casino occassionally, so i guess 200.

Do you prefer on line or Live?

Online definetly. I get so bored playing just 1 table at a time obviously live, and im a bit of an action junkie so its not really for me. I don't mind the odd live game tho when its a big tourn. Im not sure i see the point of travelling 200 miles to get it in with AK v JJ, when you can do it at home 10 times in a night and win 5 of them (well, 8 of them coz i run goooooot Smiley).

Who's your favorite Poker Pro?

Tom Dwan

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish?

I played with Aces, until Acidmouse crushed him. He was pretty tez tho.
Played with Wernick, i didnt get into any pots with him but he valuetowned ChipRich pretty hard in a big hand.
Stuart Fox - he played well but didnt really do much. Seemed decent tho, but i guess thts ridic obv.

Whats your favorite restaurant,English, French, Eskimo,Rattisserrie, Norwedgian?

American all the way. The food over there is incred.

Does your wife/partner play poker?

i dont have time for either of the above atm. They might get in the way of the 8.50 at Wolverhampton, or some obscure football/tennis/insert sport match im heavily involved in.

Can I print this on the web site

Big Time.

Thanks

No thankyou sir Crow, i look forward to meeting you.

Tonight its poker Legend, the quiet but, skillful KARABINER

As one of the original members of blonde, you must have many stories to tell

How long have you been playing poker ? Since around the time when tikay first started drawing his OAP, forty-odd years in other words

I remember in the first couple of weeks that the forum had been up and running tikay and I were having a little debate on unifying the rules of poker and the possibility of some kind of player's association(early APAT seedling?) and this new guy comes on the forum saying something like "this is an intelligent discussion, I wish I was brainy enough to join in". That was the first time that I encountered my now good friend Red-dog.

Which sites do you play on? Blonde, Full Tilt, Blue Sq(mainly satellites), and occasionally PokerStars.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos ? I'm lucky enough to have DTD as my local and I play there more than anywhere else, but Luton and Walsall and the odd jaunt to The Vic are others where I sometimes play.

Had any big wins The £300+1R at Nottingham Gala in 2005 for just under £11k and winning a seat to the ME at the WSOP also in 2005 are my biggest cashes I suppose.

Do you play every day? Only weekdays and weekends Smiley

Where did you go on holiday this year? Thailand

How many miles a week do you drive? Not that many these days 200/300

Do you prefer on line or Live? I like live play with polite people, and I like online play for keeping the expenses down
and being able to play naked whilst drinking a glass of wine.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro? None that I can think of

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish? I used to play with Devilfish a couple of times a week for years, Mickey Wernick too, mainly in cash games. There were many top pros who used to play in the Midlands 15/20 years ago, Lucy Rokach, Tom Gibson, Derek Webb, Dave Colclough and many more.

Whats your favorite restaurant,French, Italian, spud u like, Chinese? French, closely followed by the others

Does your wife/partner play poker? I am happily single these days

Can I print this on the web site?b With pleasure

Thanks you are clearly a top player having mixed with the best 2 gold Stars Good Answers

And now our lovely Staff Lady Djinn

Hi Djinn

I have seen your blonde profile and most of the Questions are answered So how have things changed since you first joined

Wow that profile was written so long ago it is covered in virtual dust - I have to give that a once-over pretty soon I reckon - better not reprint the old one as it's very much out of date... So in between doing that (on the list for this week):

Since I first joined I know a lot more people's names-to-faces (but am still caught out sometimes), but the numbers of lurkers and posters has grown tremendously. The update team - which used to be me and Tikay back in the day - is now five-strong and where there used to be the two of us on a coffee table with no power cord at the EPT there are now hundreds of poker bloggers and journalists following the tours.

How often do you play I play live around once a month, and pretty much every day on my sofa.

have you been on holiday this year, anywhere nice I went to Aruba last year ostensibly to play the tournaments but when I discovered how nice it was there I just went snorkelling for a week instead.

What is your favorite Restaurant, Mexican , Japanese. Mongolian Mongoose, or Giraffe

I love Japanese food. Danafish and I made sushi the other day. It almost stayed in one piece.

Can I print the answers on the web site GL with your cataloging efforts - I will try to update my aged profile.

All the best

Jen

Now a Lovely Lady who has helped me many times SUPERNOVA

How long have you been playing poker ?

In March 2007 I had my first game on a 2p/4p cash table on Sky, I thought I was playing for a fortune!

Which sites do you play on ?

I Have old friends on Sky & PKR so mainly there, occasionally FT, Stars, Blue Sq , and it's harder to hit a moving target you know.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

Oh no no no,tbh the axeman episode changed me and I stopped going out,so meeting real people and playing live has been a stupidly scary thing for me and I've bottled it a few times. However I've recently got membership to a card room and a mate is going to drag me there in the next week or so, even if it's kicking screaming or looking like a zombie she said. The latter might help with the poker face too.

Had any big wins yet

Big wins to me are probably peanuts to most, nothing certainly life changing - yet.

Do you play every day

I used to but found having a break and watching more made a big difference to my game so now I don't because you always have to learn and that never stops, the minute you do forget it.

Where did you go on holiday this year

Costa del Feltham twinned with a 2 night shopping extravaganza in Charlton Village and Chertsey

How many miles a week do you drive

About 100 miles as the crow flies, well most of them do, except this one of course. I also have the option of 175 to take the therapeutic route along the M3 and M25, seeing lots of miserable people stuck in a jam having a row makes me realise how lucky I am and before I know it I'm happily singing my head off and it usually stops those around me rowing and going into panic mode thinking they have got a nutter in the car next to them.

Do you prefer on line or Live

On line - but that may change who knows.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

Julian of course, firstly because he's good obv, but's he's such a nice guy and has bags of guts and determination and persevered for so long before Baden he's been an inspiration to probably lots of players like me who erm yoyo. There are lots that come to mind for maybe one particular trait but for all of the above it has to be him. A truly multidimensional player ( eat your heart out Chompy).

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

Only passing through on Sky, Tikay, El Blondie, and a few others in celeb sit and go's but not properly

Whats your favorite restaurant,French, Italian, Turkish or Yeti Burgers

Um, as a foodie I love most things,and will try almost anything at least once, well except deep fried bugs. For me you just can't beat
a chicken donner from King Kebab in Feltham high street, simply the best and fantastic after a few beers. Top lads in there too, great football banter.

Can I print this on the web site

Of course you can hon, as always, it's been a pleasure talking to you. It's been a while since you visited my hay loft and said hi to the horses.

Thanks Nova, your an exploded Star

And now the very lovely HOLDorFOLD

Hi Michelle Hellllllloooooooo Crow (hugs)

How long have you been playing poker ?
18 months

Which sites do you play on
It varies on my mood. When I'm in a chatty mood I play on Sky (HOLDorFOLD). If I'm in a "I want a good session of poker mood then Full Tilt (FlameFireFox), once a week on PKR (Burntsienna).

I have most of the others loaded due to whatever Freeroll Poker Player were running Grin

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos
Only ever played live at Casinos, and only ventured into that this year (Luton G), a couple of others for Live Sky events

Had any big wins yet
Depends what you think big is Wink I've Final Tabled Sky Open (forget how much is was - blimey, didnt think I'd forget that), and Final Tabled twice in Velocity. On Full Tilt I had a couple of $300+ wins recently.

Do you play every day
Guilty as charged your Honor. I work from home and it just so happens that Sky or Full Tilt opens automatically when I boot my mac up ....

.... did I get away with that

Where did you go on holiday this year
What the hell is a holiday?Huh??? Last time I went abroad was ooooooo over 5 years ago.

How many miles a week do you drive
hmmmmmm about 50-100. I love night time driving so tend to just jump in the car and drive around and stop at service stations for coffee at 3am (exciting life hey)

Do you prefer on line or Live
Live anyday - although my bankroll doesn't allow it to be too regular. I'm happy with small stakes online and if I have a good month work-wise I treat myself to a game or two at Luton.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro
I don't actually have one.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish
Not likely - strictly small fish here - plankton even

Whats your favorite restaurant,English, Cheap, Expensive,Eskimo , Italian
ITTTALLLLIIIAAAANNNNNNNNNNN FTW
(although VERY partial to a pukka greasy spoon cafe for full fry-up WITH chips)

Can I print this on the web site
Of course, although technically can you Print it on a website? (sits back and waits for Kinboshi or someone to prove me wrong there lol)

Thanks
Your very welcome

And one for The Crow ....

Is that Avatar really you? Wink CROW>> yes pal it is

Tonight its the POKER NUT ED INDESTRUCTABLE

Hi ED,

As an early member of blonde , how have things changed ?

Mainly in the number of Blondeites and the number of posts. It's much harder to keep up to date on what's happening and often miss out on news of big wins etc.

How long have you been playing poker ?
I have played cards all my life and was mainly a Cribbage player, up until 4 years ago when I started to play poker.

Which sites do you play on
I have accounts with 14 poker sites, but only actively play on a few of them. My first was Ladbrokes and still with them, as well as Blonde and Full Tilt. I haven't had as much time to play online of late, but when I have played I tend to play more on Blonde.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos
I don't play many live tournaments apart from special ones like Blonde bashes. I played in my first WSOP event in Vegas this year and although I lost it was a great experience.

Had any big wins this year
My best internet win was a satellite to the GCBPt event in Teesside taking place soon.

Do you play every day
No and sometimes when I am very busy i might have a quick Rottweiler turbotastic tourney just to have a game.

Where did you go on holiday this year
This year I have been to Vegas, Exeter, Spain & the Lake District. best of all though was a trip to the Olympics in Beijing (for the price of £10 in raffle tickets) Cheesy

How many miles a week do you drive
I have done 75,000 miles in the last 3 years, a combination of business trips and following Man City.

Do you prefer on line or Live
Online is great but can never be as exciting as playing live.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro
Phil Hellmuth = Legend.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish
Bad beat story alert. I am playing Joe Beevers of the Hendon Mob and have pocket aces, he has nine jack suited. Joe is short on chips and we are all in preflop. Joe then wins the hand with quad nines.

Whats your favorite restaurant,French, Horse burger ,Crispy Camal, spud u like, Chinese 0r Indian
All of the above, but if I had to choose it would be Chinese (Gars in Brighton is good) with Italian a close 2nd.

Does your wife/partner play poker
She is a poker widow and watches a fair amount of poker on tv and knows how to play. She knows what she is doing and plays in occasional home games, but won't play in a casino as she reckons that blokes take it far too seriously.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos
All the above,maybe 2 or 3 times a month live,my fave game is the 5er rebuy at a pub...some cracking donk plays are seen,but you have to keep a straight face....cos they give you a smack when you make a catty remark

Had any big wins this year
Financially naaaa.... to be honest,I'm really a recreational player,without any high aspirations,but i love the game....OH, I am the reigning Scotish open APAT online champ though with a bleeding HUGE gold medal..ahem

Do you play every day
Really depends on the missus...she wears the troosers

Where did you go on holiday this year
Bulgaria..surprisingly hot

How many miles a week do you drive
over 300

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

Thanks Mr. Wonder great answers 9 out of ten

Hey I wondered where that CD went, is it" the birdie song"

now its Pelham Boy

Roomer has it you have had a decent win ,

Please tell us all the details

I went to Luton to play the first side event of the GUKPT,I lasted an hour and didn't win a hand.So I entered a STT for the main event which I won. Then managed to finish 4th in the main event for £30k. I was short for the entire first day and a bit and no thoughts on even cashing! Things turned around for me after I made a 'squeeze' with 22 behind 3 limpers, 99 and 55 pass, KJ calls, I win the race and go on a mad run in the next hour. I didn't play the final table very well,but musn't grumble.

Where do you normally play on-line

Mainly on Full (http://blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/12206)Tilt (http://blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/12206). Great structure's and not the huge fields you find on Stars.

Have you played any Poker pro's like Tikay or Richard (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2550) Orford (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=2550)

I have played against Tikay at Luton, I rarely seem to get drawn on his table though,and he is normally out by the time the tables break.

Have you met any Poker pro's , at a live Event

I've only played 2 GUKPT's and played with a few at those. A good friend of mine was married to Marc (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=257) Goodwin (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=257)'s sister in law.

Did you come to the Blonde Bash last week, how did you get on

Yes I was there,it was my first one. Had a great time. I was out pretty early in the comp,but we came 2nd in the heads up on the Sunday.

What are your 10 starting hands

AA,AA,AA,AA,AA,KK,KK,KK,KK, and AK on the button but only if suited.

Is there a hand that your lucky with

Not really,i think it's dangerous to have favourite hands,but 75 of spades works for me. Wink

Is there a hand you always loose with (Like Ding and her Kings)

AQ is the worst hand in poker.FACT.

Whats your favorite restaurant, French, Chinese, Indian, Himalayian goat take away

Indian every time. There is some fine cuisine in Nottingham though,the DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) deluxe burger is awesome.

great answers thanks

Now shes not very well but has sent this in SUZANNE

Hi Suzi

..ive got man flu hunny so not feeling too funny but I will fill it in anyway x

How long have you been playing poker ? About 5 years maybe more

Which sites do you play on BLONDE mostly but I have 28 poker site icons on my desktop so anywhere I have some money.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos. I like to play the Bristol Meetup pub game as often as I can and I have played in various casinos all over the country in Blonde/APAT/Women tour games.

Had any big wins this year. I dont play high stakes but I was delighted to nearly reach the final table at APAT in the Vic for £400. I am hoping to top that this weekend (fingers crossed).

Do you play every day. I used to live and breathe poker but not so much now but I still play most days.

Where did you go on holiday this year. Spain and Dorset

How many miles a week do you drive. I dont drive anymore after having a scarey moment a few years back.

Do you prefer on line or Live. I love both but I find live harder to play.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro. Dont have 1 really but I admire many blondes....I hope to be as good as Ironside one day.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish. I made the final table with Lucy Rokash once and lasted longer which felt good.

Whats your favorite restaurant ,Russian, Rat burger ,Crispy camal, goat u like, 0r Indian.
My favorite restaurant is a place called El Senglars which is in the mountains on the Costa Brava, the speciality is wild boar in a wild mushroom sauce. The animals are breed in the farm out the back and mushrooms are hand picked locally. Its quite sad when the little piggies squeal as a car approaches though.

Can I print this on the Blonde web site. Would be rude not to.

Thanks your going to be a star WOOHOOO Thank you for inviting me to be interviewed, I feel like a star already.

obv mine is lost in the post..... ;surrender;

tonight We have a great story from SNOOPY

Do you have any stories of the early days of Blonde

Gosh, start off with a tricky one I see. I remember being in Vienna covering a festival at the Concord Card Casino. tikay, Red, Julian, Matt Tyler, jen and myself rented an apartment and shared rooms. After day one of the comp, we came back and wondered where the hell tikay was. At around 10am in the morning he crawled in after a massive cash game binge. He got into bed looked dead to the world, and two hours later he was back in the cardroom doing interviews for Poker 425, looking as fresh as a daisy. It was then that I realsied that this guy's gonna live forever!

Oh, Red and Matt thinking Brian 'wsop2006' Wilson was Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys was funny.

How long have you been playing poker ?
Life is a poker game. So... forever. Or, 7 yrs.

Which sites do you play on
Blonde, party, sky, stars, swank poker

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos
Casinos and DTD for big events only, used to play £20 & £30 rebuys three times a wk, but not now, tikay and julian were too gd for me

Had any big wins this year
Not played much this yr due to work. Spend a lot of time playing cash rather than tourney, but did come 8th in the DTD deepstack several weeks back.

Do you play every day
Yep, except when I'm working at a live event or in the doghouse.

Where did you go on holiday this year
Chicago then drove to Toronto. Obviously, EPTs can be mini holidays.

How many miles a week do you drive
Not many, use tube more.

Do you prefer on line or Live
live, prefer interaction and being able to physically attack someone if they outdraw me

Who's your favorite Poker Pro
Too many to pick from. I like the way Allen Cunningham goes about business.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish
Yes, many times. Never player someone as famous as the Crow though.

Whats your favorite restaurant,French, Horse burger ,Kentucky Fried Camel, spud u like, 0r Indian

If I had to pick one of the above, Indian. Used to eat it weekly, but rarely have it now I'm in London. I guess my flatulence has improved though.

Many thanks Mr. Rich

How long have you been playing poker ? 4 years maybe? Not really sure, only been taking it seriosuly in the last year or 2 though.

Just back from Vegas is our good Pal ANDREWT

Hi m8 , nice to have you back,

How long have you been playing poker ?

About six years. Started playing on the internet at lunchtime at work and it went from there.

Which sites do you play on

Blonde mostly (Kev did not tell me to say this)

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

You might find me at the Empire Casino in Leicester Square on a Saturday night if you're lucky, but I don't play live as often as I'd like.

Had any big wins this year

Won $10k in the Sunday night biggie on iPoker a couple of months ago, and also managed $6.8k in the Blue Square GUKPT online festival, though I was annoyed by that as I had a massive chip lead at one point.

Do you play every day

Christ no - that would drive me mental. I don't play that often - might play on a Sunday night but haven't been doing it much of late.

Where did you go on holiday this year( Does Vegas count)

If Vegas counts then I went on holiday to Vegas. If it doesn't count, then I stayed at home.

How many miles a week do you drive

Don't drive - have never driven. I live in London so cars are a bit useless.

Do you prefer on line or Live

Prefer online tournaments and got to like live cash in Vegas. I should play more live cash here but it's a bit difficult when you have to get up for work in the morning.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

Played Tony G, Scotty Nguyen, Donnacha O'Dea, Roland De Wolfe, Pascal Perrault and Roy Brindley all at the same table. Got nowhere against them. Also got knocked out of 2006 WSOP by Allen Cunningham - he pwned me then got lucky.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

Allen Cunningham impressed me the most out of that lot.

Whats your favorite restaurant ,Tacco Bell, Bat burger ,Crispy Camal,Kentucky Fried rabbit, 0r Indian

I'm developing an infatuation with sashimi (not sushi - can't stand the rice)

Does your other half/partner play poker

There is no other half, but if there were, her playing poker would mean it wouldn't be an escape any more.

Can I print this on the Blonde web site

Seeing as I've gone to the bother of typing this out now you might as well.

A late entry from a man who lives up north , somewhere Lazaroonie

How long have you been playing poker ?
a long time. way before it all got "scientific" and complicated. I used to win a bit then.

Which sites do you play on
Blonde, DTD, BlueSq, Party, Pokerstars, FullTilt, coral. hills, laddies, pokerzillion, - did I miss any ?

Where did you go on holiday this year
I went on a big family holiday to America in April, which was good to get a break from work. I had to come home from America to go though....

How many miles a week do you drive
not many. I "work from home" so the only time I need to get out is to go to the spar for a copy of mayfair and a packet of kleenex.

on-line shopping has definitely made a difference to my life, but I still like the thrill of pushing a trolley around....

So why are you called Laxie ?

LOL!!! I'm asked that A LOT. Also get digs for the name all the time. Laxative jokes are a common occurrence. Sigh.

I posted about it ages ago when Red asked. Here it is:

Quote from: Laxie on July 27, 2007, 10:31:57 AM
You can have the mundane story of how I got the name if ya like. A couple of years back I ruptured a disc at the top of my spine. Had to have an operation and was totally out of commission for 6 weeks. Kids were in their last 3 weeks of school and the day after they finished, my Mom flew them to America to spend the last 3 weeks with her. I was bored to tears because I couldn't leave the house, so I decided to check out online poker. When I picked the first site and went about registering, they wanted an alias. An alias? What the heck was I to pick for that?! Sat here for ages trying to come up with one when a very close friend called to the house to see how I was doing. She's from a townland called 'Laxie' (pronounced Lox eye) and was a great help to me during those long 6 weeks. I get digs for the name at poker tables all the time, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Figure, all the rubbish she had to put up with from me during that time, I can surely handle the odd joke about the name. That pretty much sums it up. You can blame the name on a dodgy back and a good friend.

Funnily enough about 8 years ago I used to work in Feltham but I'd forgotten about it since I've been through so many career changes since then!

It was great though. I really enjoyed going there and seeing the studio, meeting the people involved in skypoker. They were all very friendly and helpful. I hope I go back sometime

How big is the studio

It's not massive but because it is all green it looks like one huge putting green.

How tall is Dan Lobb, is he over 7 ft.

He was sitting down but I'd say he was roughly the same height as Andre the giant.

And what did they ask you

They asked me lots of things, mainly about updating but also why I stopped playing poker solely for a living.

, oh and

What was my E mail

You asked if someone raises your big blind what should you do. I told them it depends on lots of things but that an aggressive player in late position should be re-popped occasionally to keep them in line

Great answers , glad you had a good time, I will get a screen shot for you , find it on here later

Hey , your an early member of blonde

April 17, 2005, 08:23:49 AM I joined - that seems a long time ago

Got any stories I can print from the old days

My earliest recollection of being on Blonde was reading a mini update from the 2005 WSOP, where El Blondie was in the final of a PLO event. I was playing a mtt on Crypto which I won, and was my biggest win to that date.

Which sites do you play on Stars, FT, DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/) & Blonde (but not much recently )

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos Only BB's, APAT's & at DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/).

Can I print this on the Blonde web site Yes

So why are you called Neeko ?

My name is Nick - and Neeko was a name that someone at work gave me, it has a link to me but is not a name that most people who know me would associate with me, thus keeping my poker identity from "me".

Thanks , for answering

Ok So as your here, can you answer a few questions Wormster

Can you tell any stories about early blonde days

I'm more of a reader than a poster on blonde. I joined in 2005 after I had met Tikay & Rhowena when Poker 425 started broadcasting. Blonde was good for keeping an eye on what was going on in the world of Poker & the Live Updates were a great way for me to keep abreast of the latest tournament news.

How long have you been playing poker ? About 4 years

Which sites do you play on I don't really play much online - to be honest, I don't entirely trust online gaming.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

I don't get much chance to play & there aren't many tournaments that suit my pocket (below £100) without being self dealt.
Vegas is the most likely place for me to play

Had any big wins this year. Not really. I scooped €500 in a multi on betdaq a few weeks ago

Do you play every day No

Where did you go on holiday this year

Kefalonia (with the ex-gf) and Vegas (with a couple of mates)

How many miles a week do you drive That depends on where I'm working, could be anything between 200 & 1000 miles

Do you prefer on line or Live Live but it has to be with dealers & the right company.
Some UK poker rooms are like going into betting shops with all the petty squabbling

Whats your favorite restaurant,French, Italian, Chinese Or Red Indian Chinese

Does your wife/partner play poker I'm young, free & single!

Can I print this on the Blonde web site Yes

Thanks great answers gold Star

Had a very good chat with Woodsey

I've done some of them questions for you, feel free to put them on Blonde.

How long have you been playing poker?

Probably about 7 or 8 years now I guess. However, I did randomly end up playing a game about 3 or 4 years before that at the old Tiberius Casino in Blackpool. I was in there having a cheeky punt with my mum and saw they had a £20 rebuy starting, I had no clue even what the game was let alone what to do. The one memory that sticks in my head to this day was Burnley John being very friendly and helping me out as a newbie. The only reason I remember is because he is a really distinctive looking bloke, I doubt even now he knows who I am though.

Which sites do you play on?

All the usual suspects really, although as the game is getting tougher I am starting to play more on softer sites. Blonde is probably the top of that list at the moment.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos?

Yes, I play at Dusk Till Dawn mostly as I’m lucky to be less than 10 minutes away from it. Other than that I occasionally play the circuit events all around the UK and try to make it to vegas at least once a year.

Had any big wins this year?

Funnily enough I had a great night a few weeks back. This had been until that point my first losing year since starting to play poker, on this particular night I fired up 4 tourneys including a $10 blonde event. Several hours later I was deep in all 4 with good chips and ended up deliberately donking off my chips in the Blonde event so I could concentrate on the others. I think I ended up with two 2nds and a ninth and ended up winning about $18k, that got me even for the year LOL!

Where did you go on holiday this year?

I went to Zambia earlier in the year on safari. I’m a real hardcore safari addict and have been on a safari every year for the last 11 or 12 years maybe. I love going to remote destinations with no-one else around apart from the small group I’m with, and just living in the African bush with nothing for 50 miles apart from the wildlife. As far as I’m concerned the more basic it is the better! I’ve also been offered a job out there next year by the safari company I stayed with on this last trip. I would love to go and work with them as they do these trips the way it should be done as far as I’m concerned, close up and full on! If I get my personal stuff sorted out by early next year I’ll definitely take them up on the offer but I’d say its 50/50 at this stage.

Also Vegas next week baby!

How many miles a week do you drive?

I drive about 1000 miles a week on average. I work as an account manager for a pharmaceutical company and visit hospitals all over the midlands, so am generally in the car for a couple of hours each day.

Do you prefer on line or Live? Just depends what mood I’m in really.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro?

I’m not sure he’s a pro but I enjoy watching Sam Farha when he’s on High Stakes Poker or whatever else.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish?

I’ve played virtually all the UK names, as I play on the circuit on a semi-regular basis. I’ve also played against many of the US pro’s on my many trips over there including Antonio Esfandiari, Phil Laak, Brian Townsend, Allen Cunningham, TJ Cloutier and Many others.

Chris Moneymaker sat next to me in a tournament in the Bahamas a couple of years ago and I have to say he was the nicest bloke ever, which surprised me, I don’t know why. He was extremely friendly, engaging and courteous to the whole table and when he left we all thought he was an excellent ambassador for poker stars. He gets a hard time with people calling him a donk etc, but he left a positive impression with all of us.

I also had a comedy evening on my last trip to vegas, I ended up being sat next to Sam Grizzle in a cash game and he came across as a true degen in every sense of the word. However, with that he is also one of the funniest people I have ever played poker with and he had the table pissing themselves all night with some of the stories he told. Everyone who knows me will know I'm partial to the odd glass of Rose wine or two, Sam Grizzle saw what I was ordering and thought get me one of those too, 6 Hours later we were a total mess LOL.

How long have you been playing poker ?

My first game of poker was on the back of the bus traveling to an inter-casino football tournament in Brum, it would have been in 1995 give or take a year or two. I won £115 which in those days was about a weeks wage. I didn't have much knowledge of the game beyond the hand rankings, but I had decent 'card sense' and I've always enjoyed playing competitive games of all sorts.

I played in a regular, crazy and profitable home-game in Auckland for a couple of years. I really caught the bug when I started playing on-line in 2002.

How long on Blonde ? Since September, 2005.

Which sites do you play on I have accounts on most sites. I'm playing mostly on Party at the moment. I'm still in mourning for the Tribeca network.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos? I play occasionally at casinos, I tend to view these outings as social occaisons rather take them too seriously.

Had any big wins yet? Nothing colossal, but I've won my share of mid and low stake tourneys online.

Do you play every day? I have the odd day off...

Where did you go on holiday this year?

I haven't had a 'proper' holiday this year but I've had lots of breaks in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Devon and London. I'll be going skiing at some point in the coming winter.

How many miles a week do you drive? I don't drive.

Do you prefer on line or Live? Live for fun, online for the dough.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro? I don't really do favorites...

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish? I've played with many of the big names.

Whats your favorite restaurant, Chinese, Indian , french, Thai? All of the above and more besides.

Does your wife/partner play poker No, she is refreshingly clueless and incomprehensibly understanding.

Can I print this on the web site If you don't then I'll have wasted 15 minutes.

Thanks good answers , all correct 10/10 Oh by the way why are you called Wardonkey?

Many moons ago just as e-mail was starting to become fashionable it seemed imperative to have a funky personal e-mail address rather than a boring functional one. I'd been called a warhorse by some at school in reference to my efforts on the sportsfield, as my style promoted effort over skill. There were many Warhorses already and my rather than be 'Warhorse44' my witty companion suggested 'Wardonkey', it stuck.

Tonight we start with the Head of SkyPoker MR.... DesD

Can you answer a few Questions Des

Will do my best, although there is not too much to say about my game

How often do you play poker, had any luck lately

I do not get to play often these days, and am more likely to play a few hands with my nine year old at bed time, as opposed to online or in a casino. I've made a lot of friends through poker, so I consider myself lucky generally.

Is there a Mrs D, does she play

Mrs D exists and has only ever played the game once, in an online play money sit 'n' go. Despite doing well in the game, she didn't catch the bug and poker to her inevitably means another weekend where I am away, so we don't discuss it too much.

How many miles a week do you drive

Very little, I take trains to and from my work. I enjoy driving though and whenever I can, I drive to APAT events. I drove from my home in Surrey to Edinburgh on the morning of our last Scottish event and find the car a great place to catch up with some thinking. Going across the Scottish borders in the early morning, with low lying fog everywhere, was a real joy and quite a contrast to the normal hustle and bustle of working in London.

Did you start as a cameraman , you seem at easy with the Lens

With technology these days it is very easy to look as if you know what you are doing, while being relatively clueless. A friend, who is a professional in the industry, commented on the sort of video content that APAT puts out as: "amateur for amateurs", which I think is on the money. As long as our players continue to enjoy seeing themselves on the site, we'll continue to invest time in photography and video.

Do you play in any clubs, or at home ?

As above, I haven't really got out to play much over the last couple of years. That said, I've probably been to all of the leading casinos across the UK and there are some fantastic cardrooms out there today.

Thanks for answering

- Glad to oblige.

How long have you been playing poker ? Since October 2005

Which sites do you play on Blonde, Blue Square, Stars, Sky. Occasionally play on Full (http://blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/12206)Tilt (http://blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/12206) and Boss

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos Anywhere I can find a decent game!

Had any big wins this year

3rd in the Stars deepstack for not much. A big win to me isn't about the money, it's whether I've played well or not, and I was really happy with the way I played in that one.

Do you play every day Yeah, I'm a poker addict!

Where did you go on holiday this year I'm hopefully going to Vegas in November...

How many miles a week do you drive No licence!

Do you prefer on line or Live I don't have a preference really, they both have their pros and cons!

Who's your favorite Poker Pro I don't have a favourite per se. I admire a lot of players, most notably Negreanu and Roberto (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=376) Romanello (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=376).

Now a newbie called Smileriraq

How long have you been playing poker ?
Dec 2004 - was in iraq one of the section brought in bagfuls of worthless iraqi coins and we had some time to kill - and one of the section taught us the rules. Have to admit if I went out there again not sure if id make 6 months with no poker. When I came back to UK all my mates were playing it

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos?
Occasional live play and have done well in a few casino MTT but with a young baby and a really hectic social lifereally dont have that much time to invest

Had any big wins this year.
Won a freeroll on Ladbrokes 734 runners and got £130 came 4th in a similar tournament and won £85 also won a poker player freeroll and got invited to a final SNG table but only managed to come 5th not going to change my lifestyle but its nice to be consistently making a profit. Grinded my wy to £1000 play low stakes SNG

Nowhere this year but with young baby not fair to drag him hundreds of miles on a plane. We did have a weekend break in west wales tho

Do you prefer on line or Live
I like both but am probably better online but welcome the opportunity to test myself live

Who's your favorite Poker Pro.
Like Negranu despite he sometimes comes across as a bit snobbish over amateurs doing well in the big events. Dislike ego trippers such as hellmuth but im fairly sure thats mostly an act to keep him in the limelight

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish.
If i have i didnt know it , i dont swim in those circles, quite happy being a bottom feeder at the bottom of the ocean

Whats your favorite restaurant,French, Horse ,Crispy camal, Chinese 0r Indian.
Wifes cooking is top notch

Is there a Torchwood base in Cardiff.
My dad runs a shopping centre in Cardiff and met David Tennant apparently he was a bit of a dick (wouldnt talk to a young kid while waiting for an elevator)

Hi Del back so soon,

Hi, just remembered

When I first found Blonde there seemed to be a few friends talking about poker. for some reason it was the only forum I joined, at the time (early 2005)

I was really in awe of everone on here, I thought they were all big time pros!!!!

I remember, back in early 2005, playing a $3 SnG on Tribecca, and on the table was Clochester Kev. We talked about blonde a bit, and then about his upcoming trip to Vegas. A big hand developed between me and another player that I won, and Kev said how well I played it. I was so chuffed that a big time pro like him would complement me....

....It never crossed my mind that maybe a big time pro wouldn't be bothering with a $3 SnG

Still, made my day though..

Hope you enjoy blonde as much as I have Crow

Cheers Del

lol, loving that story delboy

The way things are going I will be back at them soon enough !!

On a good run then Kev, thinking about moving up to the $3 level full-time?

Now from the man who thinks he's a train Xpressman

How long have you been playing poker ? Well it seems a lifetime but i started playing in 2002.

Which sites do you play on Ladbrokes & Poker stars

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos I play at The G Casino Luton, The Vic (London), and The Western.

Had any big wins this year Not yet , but i am sure one will come soon

Do you play every day No , but it feels like it, i have played a lot of poker since i started playing back in 2002 !

Where did you go on holiday this year South Of France

How many miles a week do you drive 200 - 250 mainly to play poker as i live near my business.

Do you prefer on line or Live

Live without a doubt, love the banter and Atmosphere and watching the players reactions in certain situations gives you a big Advantage, also met a lot of Nice people via poker, some whom have become good friends off the tables.
I do get very bored playing on line and seem to play a much looser and less disiplined compared to my live game.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro Hard one this -

But like a lot of people loved watching the Original series of Late night poker, so The Hendon Mob Players stand out especially Ram Vaswani who I think is one of the best, and Devilfish whether you love him or hate him certainly helped in putting poker on the map.

Special mention to Garry Bush who gave me a lot of good advice and improved my game.

JP Kelly a luton legend- The Guy is Awesome, Does not play much live these days but mainly on Line.

And of course Tikay !! Who has put a lot of time and effort into the game for the players and he always plays with a smile whether Winning or Losing !!
He gets Aces more times than most players as he always shows them after someone lays down - By turning the same card over twice and saying "Look Ace and a Ace" LOL LOL

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

Both of the above at The Victoria casino in Larger Comps and many other full Time Players/Professionals.

Whats your favorite restaurant,French,Bland English ,Welsh leek Pie, Haggis meatballs, 0r Indian

Always loved Italian but do like French,Chinese, and Mexican.

Does your wife/partner play poker

Not married and do not have a Live in partner , but my Secret Mystery Lady does not play Poker !!

Can I print this on the Blonde web site

If you Must !!! Lol

Thanks, Xpressman

Thanks , good answers,gold Star

Tonight is a legendary Bounty Hunter Boba Fett

Hi Mr. Fett

Have you always been a Star wars fan

1st Star Wars film I saw was Episode 1 in the cinema. After that I watched the original trilogy and thought they were great. I was 16 or 17 then so Ive been a fan since then

Are you going to the Sky Tourney in Edinburgh next year

Not sure which tourney this is as I dont have an account at Sky Poker but if they are comign to Edinburgh Ill have a look and see what its about. I try to play any decent game that comes to Glasgow or Edinburgh.

How long have you been playing poker ? 3 years this month

Which sites do you play on

I go through spells of playing on different sites, I used to play tons on Stars and Full Tilt, they are my favourite sites, When I first started playing I played on Ladbrokes $2 stt's. These days Im playing MTT's on ipoker(but not through blonde Sad ), ongame network, Crypto, PartyPoker and Paradise Poker.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos Yeah I play a lot at the local casino's and Cincinatti's poker club when I get a chance.

Had any big wins this year

It depends how big big is. I had my biggest win earlier in the year, $12000 from the Vegas Vacation promo on crypto from a $7 sat, had lots of $1k-3k cashes this year both live and online.

Do you play every day

Pretty much, I enjoy playing for the most part so I dont need much encouragement to start up a game.

Where did you go on holiday this year

Vegas! Time of my life! Also had a couple of road trips to Manchester for a day or 2.

How many miles a week do you drive

No idea exactly. I drive to work and home every day and its about a 15-20 min drive. Then the 20 min drive into city centre if Im playign live at night and then home.

Do you prefer on line or Live

I go through phases of liking 1 and hating the other, right now I hate live, the hands per hour is depressing and sometimes you get stuck on a table where nobody talks or the general banter is terrible and the slowness of the game is made worse, bad beats feel worse etc.

I run like death online and sometimes lose the will to live watching the account taking a nosedive but right now Im playing a lot more online than live and enjoying it.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

Hellmuth, Laak, Gavin Smith, Allen Cunningham, Barry Greenstein, Brian Townsend, Gus Hansen

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

Been in the same tourney as several big name pro's but rarely am I at their table. Shared a table with Tillerman and Kathrine Hartree and Brian Wilson (great guy imo). Online Ive played the same table as Huck Seed, Sheets, Scott Fischmann and Chad Batista that I can think of.

Whats your favorite restaurant,French,Italian ,haggis meat balls, 0r Indian

Im a fussy eater so I prefer Italian.

Does your other half play poker

I dont have an other half but my last one hated me playing poker

Can I print this on the Blonde web site

Who's your favorite Poker Pro

Thank you. I know you say you will get everyone but i didn't expect an interview.

All Blondes are important m8, have a good time in New York

another quick chat with Rick Action man

Got any stories of the old days Rick ?

When i joined it was because i enjoyed Tikay's trip reports on thehendonmob forum back in 2004.
I was still working back then but winning a few quid on tribeca.

I always wanted to be a pro poker player and emulate the likes of Barry Neville, kev shepherd and willie the dice man tann.

back in 04/05 i was winning a few quid on tribeca, as were, pab, geeforce, gregior and royal flush who you will find on the forum also.

But by far the biggest winner on the site was Kev Shepherd aka Colchester kev, in the 10/20 plo.

He absolutely killed the biggest games on the site, and even found time to rail his mates in finals, and wind up the rest of the table. fun times.

I always wanted to be like Kev. Crush the online games.

Give Kev his dues, he decided that he would give the PLO up and join forces with tikay at blondepoker and help promote the cardroom. Blonde is such a great place who can blame him. I owe a lot to Kev and always buy him a beer or two everytime i see him.

Nice post m8, this is just what I was looking for, great story

Hi Neil,

How long have you been playing poker ?

Just over 3 years I think. I had met TK a few times and someone directed me to a poker show he was on.
Thought it was the dullest thing I had ever seen, but being a competitive soul got gripped by the challenge of this sodding game.

Which sites do you play on

Started on PokerRoom as my only computer was my works lappy, and I didn't want to download anything onto it (you could play pokerroom through your browser at the time).
Got accounts with most sites but play most on Party and Sky.
(Every time Kev sends out a guilt-trip message I promise myself I will play on Blonde a bit more, but never stick to it).

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos
DTD is only just over half an hour away from me so try and get there once a week.

Ever played a Top Poker Pro, like Roland De Wolfe, or Barry Neville
Played with a few - usually very briefly.

Whats your favorite Sausage, Cumberland, Irish, Spicy, or pork and apple
Don't really do sausage much, but I love Black Pudding - does that count?

More about John Cupcake McCrane

guardian.co.uk

Thursday July 14 2005

There are just 27 players left in the World Series of Poker in Vegas.

The 5,619 starters who each paid $10,000 to enter the World Championship Hold'em Tournament at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas have been whittled down to 27 players. All of these will take home at least $304,680, which is what the 27th player who goes out with.

However John McCrane, a London black cab-driver who has been playing for just eight months and who qualified online, is clinging on in 25th place.

Not only has no English player ever won The Big One but none has ever even made it to the final table. McCrane, therefore, is in with a strong chance of creating history for England.

Well I think it's McGrane, not McCrane.

I was tableside at that WSOP, railing John. He qualified on Wm Hill, & I was doing Poker 425 for Wm Hill at the time. (dullest thing ever seen, apparently, sigh).

It was a wonderful week, John, his wife, & beautifully-mannered kids, & myself, hung together, dined, played, chatted, & we became great friends, & remain so to this day. A really genuine, & lovely man. Shiny head, mind.

He is still a Taxi-Driver to this day, owns his own Black-Cab. Netted $300,000 or somesuch at the WSOP, & it all went on the family, & a better house.

And now another young fella from Leeds SovietSong

How long have you been playing poker ?

I started in around 2003 after reading an article by Joe Beavers in FHM, played abit online and then at the local Napoleons. Wish I'd known how much the game would change as poker back then was sooooo easy, obv I had no bankroll management and every decent win went on the horses. [ ] Degenerate

Which sites do you play on

I started on UKpoker then moved onto the best cardroom of all time Tribecca, when that went I joined most online rooms. Never have found a new 'home', mostly play on stars at the moment. Trying to grind the sng's.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos

I do play at the Casino now and then, went to Grosvenor leeds on friday after a night on the town. I was absolutely fooooooked and kept calling a bald bloke on my table Peter Ebdon, he didnt like it that much but had to deal with it when i shoved it in his eye with top two pair busting his smaller two pair.

Had any big wins this year Nothing major, few near misses.

Do you play every day I play whenever I can, as i work full time dont really get that much time.

Where did you go on holiday this year
I went to Rhodes with the missus, it was brilliant. Checked blonde most days as i was away during the Fergus8 saga!

How many miles a week do you drive

Just got a new car (new to me), iIm embarrassed to say its a Mondeo, i don't drive that much at the moment as i can walk to work, but moving soon so then i will be doing about 200 miles a week.

Do you prefer on line or Live I do better live but online is more convenient.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro Crazy Horse, gotta love the guy.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish

Nobody worth mentioning really, busted one of the Full Tilt pros on a micro stakes cash game once but can't remember his name.

Isaac Galazan ($2500 Short-Handed bracelet, WSOP 2005)
O'Neil Longson (multiple WSOP bracelets)
Men 'The Master' Nguyen
Hung La (2 final tables, WPT Season 3)
Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson

Just heard from a SkyPoker pal whos on here as Aqualtis

Hi m8,

How long have you been playing poker ?
I have been playing for 2 years in total, 1 year on blonde. How long before my profile is changed from newbie ?

Which sites do you play on
Like yourself, i started on the mighty Sky Poker site and, after meeting the leg end that is mr tikay, i now play on both. On sky my playing name is FORDAKIDZ and my wife plays as JOO. In fact joo tells me she is responsible for merenovice playing here as she chatted him up in an open satt and told him to come along to blonde.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos
I play at the Gutshot club which has now closed, i have joined the new International club but have not had the time to play there yet due to work commitments.

Had any big wins this year
I have made 4 final tables in the £20 freezeout at the gutshot winning 1 for £250ish, No on-line wins but some notable cashes inc 4th in 35k re-buy and joo getting 7th in the sky open. Having started trying omaha on here, got 2nd in the 300pp plo last week, ( 1000 runners finishing at 4-20 am !! ) Last night 5th in $2 plo re-buy. I think these are 2 of my best results as new to plo also some of the play in these tourneys beggars belief. 4th place in sky primo for £1750 still remains my biggest cash.

Do you play every day
Yeah, 2 teenage kidz, no money left for going out

Where did you go on holiday this year
Luckily we have a family house in Dubai so we tend to spend our holidays there. Julie has a big family so this year, 14 of us went ! M8 it is so hot out there !!!

How many miles a week do you drive
30-40, i work near to home so am quite lucky in the london traffic.

Do you prefer on line or Live
Live is the nutz, on-line can test your paitience to breaking point, aint chucked the laptop yet but, been very close, so many idiots sucking out.

Who's your favorite Poker Pro
Having been lucky enough to have Tikay at our house with the sky camera's
( see poker week 27th Dec 2007) he is our main man, except when Gus is on tv, then julie takes over the remote !! We love the Hendon Mob also.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish
On my 2nd final table at the gutshot, i was seated nxt to a young man called james who won the tourney, nxt time i saw him he just returned from wsop with 2nd place in the $1500 nlhe event !!!! James Akenhead is one to watch for the future.

Whats your favorite Sausage; Cumberland, Irish, Spicy or Pork and Apple
Deffo cumberland, creamy mash, onion gravy, mmmmm.

Does your other half play poker
Julie loves her Sky Poker, you will always find her in the scary sng's and the low stakes tourneys

Can I print this on the Blonde web site
It might be a bit boring for the site, the decision is yours. It's nice to see the sky family branching out and maybe Tony and Kev can organise an ex sky only invite tourney so we can all meet up again. Good luck to you crow and all the sky family.

John & Julie .

Thanks

Thanks, good answers, keep in touch don't be a stranger you win a Cub badge for trying hard

Today I heard from Ecosse

Hi Crow, Hi m8

How long have you been playing poker ?

I've been playing now for about two years.

Which sites do you play on

PKR (favourite), Blonde (leagues etc), Full Tilt and Dusk Till Dawn occasionally.

Do you play live at college, clubs or Casinos

Yes, locally at the Cincinatti and Wabash clubs in Glasgow, also been to DTD 3 times now for Blonde Bash, Virgin Festival and the 3-2-1 £300 event and various other venues.

Had any wins this year

Biggest was at the Virgin Festival, 155 runner £50 freezout which I won for £2685 and 50,000 air miles. Great Weekend ! Jizzem picked up the Sunday Scalp comp in the same Festival. Online biggest single win this year was for $2800 in a 186 runner freezout on PKR.

If you went to a Restaurant, would you have sausage and mash if it was on the menu

Possibly, i'm quite a fussy eater and they would have to be quality sausages.
Perfection would be stewed sausages with onion gravy and a nice mash.

Did you go on holiday this year Not yet, considering Vegas with air miles above LOL

Whats your favorite colour Car ? Got to be Silver - last 3 cars.

Do you play any other sports Football (old crocks only now), Golf, Snooker.

Who's your favorite Cook on TV Gordon Ramsey FTW, tells it like it is !

Quite a few at DTD (including Chiili, Tikay) and Dave Smith busted me from the £300 at DTD Sad

Whats your favorite Sausage; Cumberland, Irish, Spicy or Pork and Apple
Pepperoni (on pizza) or quality Italian sausage.

Tomato or Brown Sauce Tomato for me.

In a roll , or with mash peas and gravy mash peas are the pits, roll please.

Great answers , glad your managing to scrap by on your winnings.... Sigh

Your a real Poker Pro

Tonight is a chap from Ipswich SuffolkPunch

Hi Simon,

Can you answer a few questions

How long have you been playing poker?
About four years ago when I made a small deposit on William Hill. I'd never really played poker before, but wanted to give online poker a go to see what all the fuss was about. I remember starting at micro stakes limit poker and I think there were also £1 sit and goes. I worked at The Sun at the time and three weeks later was told I was playing in a TV tournament for media folks because I was the only person on the newsdesk who knew how to play! I was terrified and folded my way to third place. Anyway, I caught the bug and have been playing (badly) ever since.

Which sites do you play on?
Lots of different ones - I love the PokerStars software, but as I am about to start working for them, I will no longer be allowed to play there. I play a lot at Poker Trillion, sometimes at Full Tilt and sometimes at PKR. I don't really like the iPoker software (sorry Blonde!) and now that I have left PartyPoker's employment I will soon be able to play there again.

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos?
We are not blessed with casinos in the wilds of Suffolk, but a few times a year I will play in London.

Had any big wins this year?
No - I don't really play tournaments as I am pretty useless at them TBH. However, the big win for me this year has been rediscovering my discipline. I started a bankroll challenge with $3 in a redundo account and grinded it to $2,000, and have been using that to play with and take small profits from since then. It's nice to make a small profit and I take myself and my play far less seriously than I used to!

Do you play every day?
Given the chance, yes, but work, wife, three kids, house, garden, dog and four (yes, four) cats also demand my time!

Where did you go on holiday this year?
We're having an extension built, so cash piled in to that rather than the usual family holiday. However, I was lucky enough to spend two weeks in Las Vegas and a week on the Mediterranean for the PartyPoker Million Cruise - both for work, obviously Wink

How many miles a week do you drive?
Very few. Until recently I worked at PartyPoker's offices in the City of London, so I commuted daily by train. I hated those train journeys more than I hate Norwich City FC - and that's some hatred.

Do you prefer online or live?
No preference, although I'd love the chance to play more live games.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish?
Thanks to my position at The Sun and PokerStars, I got to play in some EPTs (badly, I hasten to add) which gave me the opportunity to play against many great players players eg, Greg Raymer, Joe Hachem, Andy Black, Roland De Wolfe, Julien Thew, Johnny Lodden, Mark Teltscher, Philip Hilm, Dario Minieri, to name a few. The best one I ever played against was undoubtedly Tikay.

What's your favorite Sausage: Cumberland, Irish, Spicy or Pork and Apple?
Mmmm, sausages. If I had to choose, it would be spicy.

Does your other half play poker?
No. She never stops talking so has no time.

Can I print this on the Blonde web site?
Of course.

Thanks good answers, 2 gold Stars

and now a chap from Lancashire wader Leg

How long have you been playing poker ?
I can't remember, 01/02 or thereabouts, watched LNP, got the internet and away I went

Which sites do you play on
I like to chop and change, at the moment I'm playing sites without a blackjack feature

Do you play live at college, clubs or Casinos
I'm a bit old for college mate but it's strictly online for me, don't fancy sitting at a table full of strangers some of whom have no manners and others who choose not to wash

Had any wins this year
1 or 2, my highest was $2k for 4th place on a stars tourney a couple of months ago

If you went to a Restaurant, would you have sausage and mash if it was on the menu
Depends if I fancied anything else on the menu and not if it was a poncey restaurant trying to get away with charging about 15 quid for it.

Did you go on holiday this year
Not this year but it would have been Italy if I had

Whats your favorite colour ?
Pantone 7536

Do you play any other sports
Not any more but I once played against John Crawley in a Lancashire Schools cricket match

Who's your favorite Cook on TV
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall or maybe Ray Mears cooking up a meal out of tree bark and shoe leather.

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Tikay or Richard Orford
Never heard of 'em

Whats your favorite Sausage; Cumberland, Irish, Spicy or Pork and Apple
Pork and chestnut from Cowmans Famous Sausage Shop in Clitheroe

Tomato or Brown Sauce
Tomato (from the fridge)

In a roll , or with mash peas and gravy
Sausage Butty

Does your other half play poker
She likes to watch Smiley

Do they like sausages, how many times a week ?
She likes to watch me eating sausages but only at the weekend

Can I print this on the Blonde web site
Only if you pay the legal fees in the event of any of my answers being slanderous

Thanks

She's bin away but now shes back Dan Dan

How long have you been playing poker ?
3 years, I came back from a trip from London and my hubby had downloaded Sporting Odds and I was soon hooked. I did play some form of stud as a teenager though. I played for petrol money.

Which sites do you play on
Virgin, Pokerstars, Devilfish and Titan at the moment

Do you play live at college, clubs or Casinos
I've only played live a few times. Cincinnatis a couple of times an APAT and the Scottish Championships

Had any wins this year
No, this has been a very quiet year. I think I need to read some books but I'm studying for Higher Human Biology right now so any reading time should be taken up with that.

If you went to a Restaurant, would you have sausage and mash if it was on the menu
No, I almost always have a chicken dish and anything with mushrooms in it.

Did you go on holiday this year
My sister-in-law has an apartment in Spain so we went there. If she didn't have that we probably wouldn't have had one. All we have to pay for is the flights. Smiley

Whats your favorite colour Car ?
Red, I see a Honda Civic VTEC Type R where I work and it's beautiful. I would love that car.

Do you play any other sports
No but I used to showjump as a child, my dad was a showjumper but it scared the beejesus out of me when I left the ground. ( I don't even like swings!)

Who's your favorite Cook on TV
Jamie Oliver

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Tikay or Richard Orford
One very like Tikay, Liam Flood in the Scottish Championships. He was lovely, even when he finished my run in the tourney. Only ever played against Tikay in the old bounty games on Spodds

Whats your favorite Sausage; Cumberland, Irish, Spicy or Pork and Apple
After a holiday in Allonby a few years ago I have to say Cumberland without a doubt. Brilliant.

Tomato or Brown Sauce
Tomato 99.9% of the time

In a roll , or with mash peas and gravy
Ohhh, mash peas and gravy. :slurp

Does your other half play poker
As mentioned above it's his fault I play now. Whenever we are on the same table online I take no prisoners and it can be quite colourful in our house at times.

Do they like sausages, how many times a week ?
He will eat anything and as often as he can get it.

Can I print this on the Blonde web site
Yes and thanks for sending this mail, I haven't been around Blonde for a while and this brought me back, I have enjoyed reading the interview thread. I'm off to read some more now.

Thanks

Glad your back, write again soon , Crow

Quote from: The-Crow on November 14, 2008, 09:47:30 PM

Yes Carrow road was built on Colmans owned land in 1934 i believe, basically our previous ground "The nest" (good name imo) was falling into a quarry on one side and was declared unsafe.

Ok tonight An Interview with Doyle Brunson

Through Facebook, Doyle has been able to answer a few questions

Thanks Doyle,

Ok Tell us about the early days

I was born in Longworth, Texas on August 10, 1933. When I was much, much, much younger I was drafted by the NBA's (then, Minneapolis) Lakers. A knee injury ended my dream of becoming a professional athlete, so I had to find a new way to satisfy my competitive instincts. I would soon find it after graduating from college with a Master's Degree in Education. I hung up my basketball uniform and sat down at a poker table. And the rest, as they say -- is history.

Had any good wins lately

I began making the rounds from one poker game to the next playing in illegal games in Exchange Street, Fort Worth, Texas. It was a colorful, but dangerous way to make a living. I continue to play today, but now it's in the biggest poker games in the world: playing $4000/$8000 minimum bets and also at the World Series of Poker. I won the Legends of Poker World Poker Tour event in 2004 (garnering a $1.1 Million prize), and finished fourth in the WPT's first championship event. Early in the morning on July 1, 2005, less than a week after my friend Chan had won his 10th gold bracelet - setting a new record - I tied the record by earning my 10th bracelet at the 2005 WSOP.

V nice, So why are you called "Dolly"

People often ask me about my nickname and the poker hands that are attributed to me. My nickname "Texas Dolly" came from the incorrect reading of my name by Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder, and it stuck. As for the poker hands named after me: One hand, a Ten and a Two of any suit, bears my name because I won the No Limit Hold 'Em event at the World Series of Poker two years in a row with them (1976 and 1977), in both cases completing a full house - - in both years, I was the underdog, requiring me to come from behind both times. Another hand known as a "Doyle Brunson," especially in Texas, is the Ace and Queen of any suit because, as I say on page 519 of the Super System, I "never play this hand." Play poker .. at Doyle's Room - the only poker room .. endorsed by me.

Your famous for your Quotations, which ones are your favorite

Ok tonight An Interview with Doyle (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=532) Brunson (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=532)

Through Facebook, Doyle has been able to answer a few questions

Thanks Doyle,

Ok Tell us about the early days

I was born in Longworth, Texas on August 10, 1933. When I was much, much, much younger I was drafted by the NBA's (then, Minneapolis) Lakers. A knee injury ended my dream of becoming a professional athlete, so I had to find a new way to satisfy my competitive instincts. I would soon find it after graduating from college with a Master's Degree in Education. I hung up my basketball uniform and sat down at a poker table. And the rest, as they say -- is history.

Had any good wins lately

I began making the rounds from one poker game to the next playing in illegal games in Exchange Street, Fort Worth, Texas. It was a colorful, but dangerous way to make a living. I continue to play today, but now it's in the biggest poker games in the world: playing $4000/$8000 minimum bets and also at the World Series of Poker. I won the Legends of Poker World Poker Tour event in 2004 (garnering a $1.1 Million prize), and finished fourth in the WPT's first championship event. Early in the morning on July 1, 2005, less than a week after my friend Chan had won his 10th gold bracelet - setting a new record - I tied the record by earning my 10th bracelet at the 2005 WSOP.

V nice, So why are you called "Dolly"

People often ask me about my nickname and the poker hands that are attributed to me. My nickname "Texas Dolly" came from the incorrect reading of my name by Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder, and it stuck. As for the poker hands named after me: One hand, a Ten and a Two of any suit, bears my name because I won the No Limit Hold 'Em event at the World Series of Poker two years in a row with them (1976 and 1977), in both cases completing a full house - - in both years, I was the underdog, requiring me to come from behind both times. Another hand known as a "Doyle (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=532) Brunson (http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=532)," especially in Texas, is the Ace and Queen of any suit because, as I say on page 519 of the Super System, I "never play this hand." Play poker .. at Doyle's Room - the only poker room .. endorsed by me.

As a further challenge, guess what the questions were

yo happy to answer ur questions Smiley

1. been playing about 4 years now, being a mixture of online and live

2. AgentChip109 is the worst name ever. i chose it cos when i joined blonde i wanted a new online poker name and i thought it sounded cool lololol. 109 incidently cos 109soooooted is my fave hand. i shoulda just called myself Edgy811 as that is my online name for pretty much every poker site i play on and all my friends know me as Edgy (my name being james edgington)

3. tournaments on Full Tilt but havent played hardly any recently as work is taking up too much time. play cash on pacific which has been going really well for me lately

4. havent had any one major win, but in the space of 2 weeks i got two 2nds and a 1st to win $3k, $2,1k and $2,9k. this is what im really missing in my poker, just one big win to really kick me off

5. i used to play pretty much every day but i live in winchester and commute to work in london every day and this just doesnt give me time to play so much anymore, especially tournaments

6. went to vegas for 2 weeks in june wiv fellow blondite dan rudd (upthemariners) plus two other mates who dont play poker. then 2 more mates came out to meet us halfway through the week. the best holiday i ever been on, not just for poker but getting smashed, and other vegas activities

7. got to be black

8. not really played wiv many, though have met a few. played wiv dominic keys in vegas (does he count?).

9. im not a big sausage fan to be honest probs go wiv cumberland

I played in a tournament with Simon Trumper, Chris Moneymaker and others in 2004, but to be honest, I didn't have a clue who they were. People kept saying, I've just seen so-and-so, and I would say Who ?

Another chat with the lovely DingDell

Whats the most popular treatment at your clinic, is it make up?

We are a colonic clinic so we specialise in colonics so that's what we do most of.

Whats the most expensive treatment,

Permanent make up - thats tattooing of eyebrows, lips and eyeliner on the face. I have all 3 done. Well known clients include Jade Goody (just had her eyebrows done to cover any hair loss from chemotherapy), Jodie Marsh - shes had all three areas done, Steve Strange from Visage who has a makeover at the clinic as part of his new series next year relaunching his band, This week we have a model/girl band member coming in but I'm not sure if we're allowed to say.

We do have an Arab princess that comes in for the makeup, she tips £00's but I've opened the door for her twice and so far nothing....sigh

Eyebrows cost £595, lips £575 and eyeliner 525. They last for about 4 years.

Do you do gift vouchers for treatment , for Xmas pressies

Of course. We sell colonic vouchers, only 75% of them are redemmed within the time limit.

Do you do " a buy one get one free" Eeeerm - no. Although during the recent Cryptospyridium outbreak in Northampton people could get severe tummy upsets from the local water. On the grounds of health and safety we didn't carry out any treatments but we did get people asking for treatments just so they would get the bug and experience severe weight loss..... even though there was a chance they might die....

Whats the most popular coffee with your customers Is it Latte, Expresso or Cappuchino

We strongly recommend that clients don't drink coffee as it is a diuretic and most people need more water in their body not less. Strangely enough we do offer a coffee treatment where specially prepared coffee is introduced to the body via the bottom (no milk or sugar!) and this helps the bowel spasm which some clients need to release very old bits and pieces. We only offer this to a few cases including those who are terminally ill with cancer.

No sausage question here, but if you did, would you put them on cocktail sticks stuck in a pineapple. Thats always popular at our doo's

So that is a sausage question then?? Citrus fruits are not great for the bowel bacteria in some cases so probably not.

Thanks for the great answers Tracey,

I must remember not to ask for a coffee if I visit your clinic

Have a good Xmas, from Crow

Martin Brundell interviews the new Formula 1 Lada Team

Starting this week at the Australian Formula One race, the new Team Lada has begun its quest to win the championship.

When Brawn Racing sold their team to Mercedes, they insisted a German Driver was used. So Jenson Button had to find a new team.

So when Lada Racing started , they have used a Russian Driver called Vitaly Petrov.

By joining the Lada F1 Team for the 2010 season, Vitaly Petrov makes history as the first Russian driver to compete in Formula One.

The 25-year-old from Vyborg, Russia, graduates to Formula One off the back of a successful GP2 career having raced in both the GP2 Series and GP2 Asia Series.

He enjoyed his most successful campaign in 2009, finishing as the GP2 Series runner-up with two victories. Prior to that he raced in European Formula Lada, as well as various national championships in Russia.

Martin> How do you expect you will do today

Vitaly > I am just hoping to finish the race. The other cars seem a lot faster than my Lada

Martin > How do you fit inside the car , you must be nearly 7 feet tall

Vitaly > Yes I am very big, so we use a smaller seat.

Martin > What weather conditions do you drive best in

Vitaly > We are hoping it will rain

Martin > Well good luck then

Vitaly > Thank you very much

The lada Car finished 3rd in Sundays race
