Moarrrrrrrr plz, great read.
VBOL in Vegas.
Do you think you'll always be playing poker to such a high level ?
Do you spend much time studying the game ?
If Bolton had've won their game would you have wanted Aguero to have scored that last minute goal ?
I don't know. It's sad really. When I think back 10 years, the edge I had was so big it was ridiculous. Chris Bjorin put it best when we were chatting about the changing nature of poker tournaments "10 years ago for a main event at the Vic I knew before I sat down I would be the best at the table. Now I'm happy if I'm the 5th best". He's obviously being a bit false modest with that comment, because he is still the guvnor, but I definitly know what he means.
It used to be, if you looked round the cardroom and recognise very players you'd be rubbing your hand in glee. Nowadays, it probably means they are all internet wizards. the sam tournament Chris mad the above comment, they was a young Scandi on our table who played awesome poker. He looked about 12. I asked Chris if he knew him, because he played really well.. "he should be quite confident.. he won 1.5 million playing cash games last month"!!!
It is quite good for morale that playrs like Flushy and Keys are still prepared to pay a premium to buy my action. Actually was most happy when Middy bought a big piece in something I was selling earlier this year, because I've played alot against him on Stars, and presumably he must think I'm not totally dead money. Either that or he was pissed when he posted it (Lil Dave's excuse!).
Certainly flattering when a guy like Joe Ebanks asks my advice about a hand (happened at Amsterdam) or Jake Cody asks me how I think he played a hand (happened at WSOPE).
Maybe the best story happened a couple of years ago in the 10k HU at the WSOP a couple years ago.
I was playing a young kid (who turned out to be Tom Marchese) in the first round.
We went backwards and forwards for hours. Never really playing a single big pot.
We one of the last 3 or 4 games still going out of 250.
A mate wandered past and said. "Finish him off Camel".
Marchese sat back in his chair with a slightly puzzled look on his face. Then he looked at my gold Camel card protector.
"Are you The Camel on pokerstars?"
I gave my stock answer.. "I might be, does he owe you money?"
"FML. I thought I was playing some random old guy, and it turns out I'm playing the fucking Camel!"
He won of course.
As I've spent ages answering the first question, I'll give much shorter answers to the other 2.
2. Not enough. Will be rectifying this.
3. I'm ashamed to admit yes. The Championship was good fun anyway. You actually go to games thinking you've got a chance of winning
Agree about The Championship, we all loved it when we were there, then again not hard to when your abs crushing, bit like poker.

I remember offering to buy Poochie dinner once when I copped a result on something.
We got to the restaurant, he checked out the menu and said
"Well, normally I would have steak and chips which is £16. If I have a salad, which is £4, can you give me the £12 difference?"

Keith, can you name the three bands Vince Clarke was in after leaving Depeche Mode? I remember you asking me that when I was managing Hills in Ascot,probably 1996, when you used to come in late afternoon. Good luck in Vegas!

Blimey. That takes me back. (The Ray, Elsa and you bit.. not Vince Clarke!)
Why on earth did I ask you that Bill?
