OOOOO i have a couple.

Not sure if it's the sort of thing you're looking for but a guy played in a certain money added promotion on an online site ($100k guaranteed) with the username "S Trumper".
Was this he and if so does he normally use the chatbox as much?
Seeing as this chap came across as very arrogant and abnoxious i doubt it but if not how does he feel about people using his name on poker sites?

I asked Simon about this after, it wasn't him, unsurprisingly.

Hi all

The first name i ever used online was PATEK on Paradise , very rarely played , then it was CARTIER on Ladbrokes , PATEK on Pokerstars , these are all watch brands , on UK Betting i was ACES and on Party i was ISTABRAQ , on DTD i am strumper and this is the only site i have ever used my name .

I would prefer it if the player using my name wasn't arrogant and obnoxious when they play but hey all publicities good lol .

As Flushy said he rang to ask if it was me , by the way how did he/she do ?

All the best

ACES

Hi Simon

As someone who won many tournaments at such an early stage in your poker career can you give us a list of do's and dont's you adhered to to help you during your formative years?

Hi Simon,

At the Luton Xmas Cracker Main Event I saw you taking copious amounts of notes at the table using pen and paper. I'm guessing this was poker related and not a shopping list 

Three questions on this:

1) Could you shed any light on what you were writing down (not specific info but was it tells/betting patterns etc) and also what you weren't writing down.

2) Any chance of giving us an example of a hand where this information helped you, perhaps where it made what would've been a tough decision a standard decision.

3) This was the first time I’ve seen you play live, is this note taking something you always do? If it's a sporadic occurrence do you find that your results differ when you do/don't take notes.

many thanks in advance for any reply.

There apparently is a Simon Trumper on Prima that is a rebuying machine in their $50 or $100 rebuy or whatever it is these days.

Yes. The one on Mansion is a nasty piece of work.
I was at a table when STrumper was engaged in conversation. He pretended to be Simon, talking about the club and
being pleasant, except for talking about winning LNP in '98! I thought he may be genuine until he took a beat
off the guy he had been talking to. He then went on a total rant saying he would `kill him' if he came near the club etc.
He went on to call him a `fnk c&^%' and that he shouldn't have to play with such retards.

I have always thought it strange to steal someones name and then act in a bad light on behalf of that person.  If you want to play under someone else's name, then respect should be given for the real person.  I once played against Spider-man and he was very well mannered while playing.

When i first started winning i had three things that today all new players have , i was confident (sometimes misplaced) far more aggressive than my opponents and fearless .

As i played at the higher levels and got quickly taught i wasn't as good as i thought i started to set certain rules for my play.

Two of the key ones were " study all players " and " focus "

Also " try not to go on tilt " " always try to learn something each time you play "

Cheers

The notes i was taking were for my blog/diary on my website www.simonacestrumper.com . I have approx 120 tournament diaries archived where you will find i pick key hands that i explain involving tells and strategies . Eventually my blog will be integrated to DTD and anytime i play i will do a report there . I did find that i missed a lot if i took too much time writing and it effected my focus so more recently if i do it i write a couple of notes in the breaks .

Simon,

That piece is outstanding. Did you write it and then wonder if you should release it or was the piece a kind of release for you too?
