Your best moment in Poker?
I’d like to say discovering PuntersLounge and its Poker forum. A new player who wants to learn the game can do so without being afraid to ask questions. However, in my fledgling poker career I think it was when I won the same daily tournament four times in the same week (the $500 added 1cent buy-in on Mansion). To win the same regular tourney more than once is an achievement, so I think I have every reason to be proud.
Your worst moment in Poker?
This was also on Mansion. They have qualifiers for the Poker Dome where you get flown to Vegas and play a 6 seat STT and the winner gets $25,000. The closest I’ve got to the US is when I went to Lands End. I was dominating this particular qualifier, and playing some of the best poker I’ve ever played. I never took the win for granted but I knew I was the best player that night. However when Heads Up came around I lost. The winner got a seat worth $7,000 and I got nothing. However disappointed I was not to go to Vegas I was ecstatic with how well I’d played.
What is your main goal in Poker?
My main goal in poker is for it to remain self sufficient. I have other goals such as the WSoP etc, but as long as I’m a winning or profitable player I’m happy.
A one line word of advice you’d give to a new player?
Don’t risk any money by using poker sites freerolls to learn the ropes.
Your favourite hand?? (If you want to reveal it!!)
94 off suit is a hand I like to play. The number of times that I fold it on a raise and the flop would have hit is countless.
Favourite poker site?
I like Sporting Odds because of the variety of promotions, but my favourite is Pokerstars. At first the amount of different tournies available can be a bit daunting, but once you get used to that it is easily the best. The connection very rarely fails, the tables can be resized and you can customise the background and cards.
You enter the Big Brother house – who would be your three ideal housemates??
How many are in The SugarBabes? Seeing as my wife may see this I’d better say someone else though. This is probably the toughest question. Matt Groening, Dave Grohl and Jack Black.
Which TV/Film actor would play you in a movie?
Troy McClure. You may remember him from hosting such as The Simpsons 737th anniversary episode. However my second choice would be Bruce Campbell.
Which football team do you support – and favourite moment with that team?
Port Vale, and my favourite moment came in 1993. I promised as a child that I would never visit Wembley unless it was to see Port Vale the first time I went. I started to regret that as I got older, but my moment came when we reached the Autoglass Trophy final and Play-off final in the same season, which meant I ended up going twice on consecutive Saturday’s. On the Thursday in between my wife (Pocket Lady) also gave birth to my youngest son.
What is your pornstar name? (Name of first pet followed by mothers maiden name)
It’s a rather pathetic, Lady Bithell.
Favourite Film?
White Men Can’t Jump, although I love watching a good comedy. Arsenic and Old Lace is probably my 2nd favourite film.
You’ve just won the lottery. What’s the first thing you buy for yourself ??
Well, now that Robbie Williams has bought Port Vale from under me I’d have to say I’d buy tickets to the next Oakland Raiders match, then pay for a long holiday in Vegas.
