So what do the public think? Are wives/girlfriends detrimental to your poker play? 

In view of your latest win, the answer has to be yes.

I guess I've just about proved that one... although to be honest given the choice of a UKGPT or having Rhowena around ... I'd happily have my aces busted avery time

So Dave,

Now that you have had a few days please tell us what you think was the key to your victory!

1) Did you do anything any different during this comp?

2) Was there a key decision that was a make or break play?

3) How do you plan to continue your winning ways, what makes a player run "hot"?

4) Did u make any mistakes that we, blonde members, could learn from?

5) It seems you "ran well"? What do you think about that statement and what does it mean to you?

6) You said the heads up was "one of the toughest you had ever played? Please give us some insight as to your plan of attack and how you perceived your opponent?


I think thats about it for now, thanks DC I am

So Dave,
Now that you have had a few days please tell us what you think was the key to your victory!
1) Did you do anything any different during this comp?

Yes when I acquired a big stack I adopted the deWolf startegy of agression as opposed to sitting on it and picking my spots, as I usually do. The stack just grew and grew.... errr,  exactly the opposite to wot i was telling u to do in the WSOP
I also took 4 days off in the Sun immediately before the event. Rhowena tells me that we had not done that for over 2 years. So I guess I was refreshed.

Now that you have had a few days please tell us what you think was the key to your victory!
2) Was there a key decision that was a make or break play?

I think the key decisions that affected my tourney were made by others.
a) opponents passing Kings, jacks and tens to me...all of which I was losing to
b) a re-raise ruling that cost Eddie Lunden his whole stack when he was holding pocket 10s. I had Aces and we ended up putting the lot in pre-flop when he was forced to re-raise by a correct ruling (well correct in my opinion anyway). He was dreadfully unfortunate though

[elblondie]

3) How do you plan to continue your winning ways, what makes a player run "hot"?

God only knows...if we knew the answer to this one well it would be easy
stupid boy

[elblondie]

4) Did u make any mistakes that we, blonde members, could learn from?

Loads of mistakes... the most obvious being...
