Thanks very much to riverdave...Dave Penly..for agreeing to answer your questions for a week
riverdave is, quite frankly, a bit sick as those who follow his online "spin ups" and "spin downs" will be aware!
Recently in the live scene he won the PLO Event at the
DTD Norwegian Poker Championships for £13,000. In March he won the £500 event at the GUKPT Vic week for £26,600 (becoming the first player to win two GUKPT festival events this year) and his results go back years, all over the UK and Europe.
Dave finished in the top 150 in 2006's WSOP Main event for $47,000. Yet as the mood takes him he'll still be occasionally found in small comps at Luton or London.
Online he can turn micro stakes into fortunes and back again. Recent successes include scores for over $25,000 on Stars in events such as the $109, the $55 Omaha rebuy and the $88 shorthanded.( Recent failures include losing it again..Dave can confirm or deny this!).
In a recent article on The Hendon Mob Dave's friend Neil Channing says:
"Dave Penly may be one of the sickest degenerates I've ever met, but it doesn't stop me admiring him as a great player. I was delighted that we got heads-up, where we decided to do no business and just play, and I was genuinely pleased that he got a decent result which he richly deserved. I'm sure Dave's trip on the poker rollercoaster will carry on being a turbulent one, but I'm equally sure that the highs will be totally amazing."
Away form Poker Dave is a mean pool player, supports Woking FC and ...no that it, he plays poker!
