Betfair Qualifiers / nono / 23 May 2008 / Leave a comment

1) So how did you start playing poker?
I learnt the basics of texas holdem in the pub (seems reasonable) and then started playing (very badly at first)on betfair.

2) How long have you been playing on Betfair and at what type of tables can you normally been found?
3 years, prefer the higher stakes SITnGOs and bigger buy in multis.

3) How did you qualify for the WSOP?
Won a $525 qualifier, 2 seats guaranteed, 47 players.

4) Have you been to any live poker events before? Any success?
Was at WSOP 2007, possibly 1 mistake away from cashing,exiting just before day 3 but I dont like to mention it ;) That was my first ever major live tournament,so hope to improve on it!

5) Best online success?
Had 3 biggish online successes, all similar prizes. Won the old £50k for £11,800 and this year have been 2nd in $100k for $20k and won a 533 runner tourney on another site for $19,800.

6) What is your aim for Vegas and what would you do if you won?
My main aim is NOT to beat last years 37 hours of drinking without sleep session. Re the poker, I'm at least a 10,000 to 1 chance to win so dont really know how id cope if it happened but I guess the 37 hour stint would then be well beaten.......
