In The Crow's Nest with.......

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   

sure

Thanks your a bounty hunter

Tonight its the very lovely                  Little MissC

Hi LittlemissC

How long have you been playing poker

I started about 4 years ago.I was at my dads house and he was playing a comp on pokerstars,he got a call from his girlfriend and had to rush out and fetch her.He told me I would have to carry on playing for him,I did and made the final without really knowing much about poker,I was hooked from that moment.
A few months later after messing about playing online I went to gala notts beginers night and came 5th out of 121 runners losing with AA in a bad beat on the final,never looked back since.

Which sites do you play on
I dont tend to play online much,  but when I do its mainly satellites for live comps.
I have an account with just about every site though,lol

Do you play live at pubs, clubs or Casinos
yes I play all over the place.I will mostly be found at DTD or gala nottingham
 but play most comps up to £500 buy in and travel to play them too.

Had any big wins this year
I had an amazing month in march  finishing 3rd in the DTD monthly £300 for £5000 and then 2 weeks later winning a £50 2 rebuy at DTD outright for £3500.that also made me the first female winner at DTD which I was very pleased about

Do you play every day
No I have 2 children so they take up most of my week.I play 2 times a week live and maybe once or twice online

Where did you go on holiday this year
I went to florida with my children and some friends

How many miles a week do you drive
I dont drive which is awfull to say I'm 27. But lucky for me I have plenty of friends who play the same comps as me so I can get a lift or share a train journey whenever needed(thanks chili,lol)

Do you prefer on line or Live
live without question..women can get away with alot in live poker..you just have to work out who is the easiest target

Who's your favorite Poker Pro
i would have to say Phil Ivey.hes so cool all the time.british pro i would go with Julian Thew

Ever played a Poker Pro, like Aces or Devilfish
I've played just about every pro on the UK circuit but not many international ones.i think I've been on mickey wernick's table in every comp we have both played this year

Whats your favorite restaurant,French,Italian ,Chinese, 0r Indian
Indian cant beat a good curry imo the hotter the better

Does your other half play poker

[The-Crow]

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
