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

1) So how did you start playing poker?
Started playing poker about 3 years ago, when I went to a bar in Benalmadena where they played most nights. The owner, a Mark Griffin, was a successful player online and he gave me some free leesons. Within a few weeks I won a tourney on paradise poker twice for $4k each time. I then joined his team you can look this up at betdempseyspoker.com.and have played ever since(probably too much).

2) How long have you been playing on Betfair and at what type of tables can you normally been found?
I started playing on Betfair earlier this year when we entered a team in the dreamteam series. I only really play tournies and normally try and sat the bigger buy in ones

3) How did you qualify for the WSOP?
I qualified for the wsop throught the sats on Betfair winning the $7R&A ($21) then that took me into $100 sat which I then won a $550 seat then qualified

4) Have you been to any live poker events before? Any success?
Play at a local poker room sometimes where I have won a few times. Won a trip to vegas for the mansion pokerdome Dec 2007 then Aussie Millions 2007 and the wsop last year with no success at all.

5) Best online success?
Best online success has to be winning 2 wsop packages in a week on pokerstars last year. My aim for Vegas is to play well hopefully get some luck and maybe come home with some cash.

6) What is your aim for Vegas and what would you do if you won?
To learn as much as I can maybe get some tips from your pros and generally have a good time. If I won I would probably cut down how much poker I play and just play the odd event for fun and just enjoy the money.
