Your best moment in Poker?
My best moment in poker has to be making the final table and finishing 8th in the Maxim King of Poker tournament in 2006. After 16 weeks of playing twice daily i made the tournament as a reserve player after finishing 11th in the leaderboard out of over 700 people. Although i only won $40 and a chip set for my efforts, the fact that i beat a number of punterslounge players in only my 2nd live game made it special to me.
Your worst moment in Poker?
My worst moment in poker is a story that were all shocked and disgusted about. The goalpoker mess. I received a call around lunch time off Burnley Joe saying check my email box, only to find out that they had welched on there deal to send him and Fenner to the WSOP, without even personally telling them or giving any explanation, i was disgusted hence the ongoing campaign to stop them trading.
What is your main goal in Poker?
My main goal as a poker player is a goal I’m sure everyone who reads this interview will also have, to play in the WSOP main event and make the final table, a bracelet would be nice too, but hey, lets not be too greedy.
A one line word of advice you’d give to a new player?
My advice to any newcomer to poker...." learn as much as you can, but play your own game!"
Your favourite hand? (If you want to reveal it!!)
My favourite hand has to be my most memorable, J7spades. I won a 3 way all in after a flop of 8,9,10 spades giving me my 1st strait flush and 6000 chips!
Favourite Poker Site?
My favourite poker site has to be sporting odds, now i know we all give em stick, but lets face it, they have great tourneys, easy deposit and withdrawal options, and the majority of my wins have been on there.
You enter the Big Brother house – who would be your three ideal housemates?
Hmmmm a tough one...the 1st id have to say would be Paul Gascoigne, the guy has had his problems, but is a hero of mine, after standing on the gallowgate as a youngster watching him was a pleasure-could also have a kick around in the garden! 2nd id say Phil Hellmuth an amazing poker player and imagine the tantrums if i beat him in the house, fricken internet qualifiers! for my 3rd guest id say Angelina Jolie, sexy, fit and would look great in the pool!
The worst record you have ever bought?
The less said about this the better, New Kids on the Block, Cover Girl.
Which football team do you support?
Newcastle United, best supporters on the planet, shame the side continuously lets us down.
What is your Pornstar name? (Name of first pet followed by Mothers maiden name)
Goldfish called Sharkey, Maiden name was Freel, so my pornstar name is SHARKEY FREEL!
Favourite Film?
Its hard for me to chose my favourite movie, as i love watching movies and i have around 300 dvds at the moment, if i had to chose one, id say Crash, the 2006 oscar winner, great cast, great direction and the story line was amazing, a gem to watch over and over again, a close run with American History X tho....
You’re down to your last £10. What do you spend it on?
Hmmmm my last £10....probably 4 cans of fosters and a $11 buy in to the $4k gtd on sporting odds!
A big thanks to Morlspin for agreeing to be the first in a series of PL players interviews. Watch out for a new Sharkey Freel movie coming to a cinema near you!!!
A big weekend for Punters Lounge Poker.
Punters Loungers appeared on mass for the APAT event in Birmingham. McGin just missed out on the final table - finishing 11th - and JarJar was the last lady standing. Birmingham breweries are now having to bring in emergency supplies after a particularly busy weekend.
Jeffster had a nice win at the Grosvenor on sunday, and Gotafancy, Staffy and Chess have qualified for the Party Poker Monster Freeroll, which has a prize fund of $12,500,000 so far.
PL CCCHHHAAAARRGGGGGEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
