[Free_Rollin]

Hey man,

Thanks a lot, it means a lot to have support! How you feeling about exams? Know you've really been grinded hard with studying etc, whats your plans now? Def be great to catch up, hopefully its before Vegas as that will be next year and great to see you before!

Not feeling super confident about exams at the moment, these next 2 weeks are going to be crucial! If i can grind it out hard, then it should be fine. Plans are, I've secured a position with a prop trading firm. It's a pretty sick role, and I'm really excited about it. Also playing live cash in London at the moment, which is good. Yeah, it'll be great to catch up, let me know if you're ever down these ends mate.

*posted this on my other blog, but will c+p every day into here instead of spamming *


Most of you will know that I moved from Gibraltar to Hungary last week with my girlfriend and our dogs. I have done blogs before, which start pretty cool for the first 2 weeks but then I get busy/something comes up and the blog dies off a little bit because of my inactivity.

I have had bad internet/not access to internet meaning I have been not able to do coaching/videos etc, but I have been able to sort my schedule out for the next couple of weeks where I DO have internet.

Charlie "ChazManChaz" Combes



Ranked in the top 10 in the country and top 50 in the world, Charlie loves the big stage and grind a tonne of the big festivals. Another sicko with over 3,000,000 in tournament winnings.

He recently came 2nd in the biggest ever Super Tuesday and is selling a huge package to this SCOOP with the intention of lot of grinding and lots of binking, in his own words:

In the last 2 SCOOP series' I have final tabled 4 HIGH events, winning the 1575$ ante up for 55K$, splitting the 1k turbo 3 way for 83k$, 4th in 1k mixed PLO/NL for 35k$, 7th in 1k rebuy for 41k. I also final table bubbled the 1k rebuy turbo for 13k$ with numerous other 10-30 places.

I like to think these amazing structures really suit my style and I really put my head down and always find my a-game during these big series. I'm on top form this year playing the best poker off my life, I recently came 2nd in the record breaking super tuesday for 93k$ and am currently ranked 32nd this year on pokerstars and 31st on full tilt.

The Bet

1) Most cashes, combined
2) Accumulative cashes


Jon "lufcbas" spinks




Millions and millions of online cashes this guy loves the big occasion. He plas a tonne normally but over scoop/wcoop etc he really goes for it. Last  year he played the 50k horse and if I could bet 1 guy in the uk to be close to the top f the scoop leaderboard it would be him. But I can't so I'm going to bet against him him, LDO.

He recently won the John Eames invitational a couple of months ago in Deauville for 200,000 and last month continued his good form, this time on the virtual felt winning full tilts version of the Sunday Million, the 350,000.


The bet

1) most separate cashes
2) accumulative cashes
