1) So how did you start playing poker?
Basically the same as most people I suppose: Watched the first WPT season, got hooked, started up home game, deposited $50 twenty times and lost it all, read some books and forums. And so on.
2) How long have you been playing on Betfair and at what type of tables can you normally been found?
Been playing on the NLSH 2/5 and 5/10 tables on Betfair since January 2006.
3) How did you qualify for the WSOP?
I rake a lot.
4) Have you been to any live poker events before? Any success?
I have been all over the world, but I never win. However - I got lucky in my first major tourney, the WSOP Main Event in 2006, and cashed around $42K for 203rd place.
5) Best online success?
In cash games online I especially remember one hand when I flopped quads against some Hungarian guy called sh4rky33 and DID NOT lose. So sick that he did not river higher quads or straight flush. In online tournaments I only have have some 10K-15K wins.
6) What is your aim for Vegas and what would you do if you won?
I'll try to BBQ a lot in our house and maybe get a nice tan. Haven't really got any other plans. If i win the Main Event I'd instantly retire from poker and buy Estelle Bentall's rugby team and do some Roman Abramovich things with it.
