Rod Paradise told me last night I should put a brief wee introduction post up here.
Sounded like a fair plan so here goes..

I'm Thomas, I'm 23. Been playing poker for 3 years, 6 months professionaly. Trying to break into the live game at the mo. Have done 2 festivals so far, cashed in a couple at the Gutshot (not too fancy 7th and 8th) but washed out in Brighton. I'll do Glasgow next week, would be rude not to as I live there. Probably Blackpool the week after if I feel like it.

Highlight of poker career so far was probably on Wednesday night winning a 6 man £500 freezeout at Cincci's. Hadn't previously had any live experience of playing heads-up for serious money and was happy with the way I handled myself.

Lowlight, after cashing in the gutshot having my name listed on poker websites as, Thomas Stott(England). Carefully worded e-mails were sent and I think they're now mostly the more accurate Thomas Stott(Scotland).

Hoping to get in the top 500 soon, after that will probably set my sights higher. At the moment I'm concentrating on improving my PL omaha cash game. It's getting on ok, won 700 at it last night after dropping 1000 in a disastrous NLHE game that got me re-thinking my "I don't fold KK pre-flop" policy. It was quite embarrasing as it was only a £20 buy-in game so I didn't bother taking more than a grand with me. Yet I had to make a walk of shame back to my flat to re-load.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Bah! Call yourself a professional? You bummed that guys cards, not once, but twice last night!!! And after he had thrown in a raise of 500 Still, I was more than happy to let them be given back since I was holding za nuts.

 Grin Grin Grin

Just joking.

Beating El Blondie heads up was a good achievement though. So I'll let you off your fishy dealing Wink

The professional thing doesn't mean quality. It just means I don't have a job.
I certainly won't be getting one as a dealer any time soon.
Congrats on the 2nd last night.

Hehe I'm only joking - you've done really well for someone who seems to be so new to live play. I found it tough switching from online to live.
