The Players : Episode Five - Jaded


Your best moment in Poker?
Taking down a $98 pot in 2-7 triple draw yesterday was probably it - partly because I'd only just learnt to play the game, and partly because my opponent was some guy wearing lizard sunglasses who people seemed to think was pretty good... what was his name... Greg Raymer?
Your worst moment in Poker?
Was close to the money in a big tourney a few months ago, can't remember the exact tournament but it was one of the biggest I've played - I've blocked as much as possible out! I was 2nd, chip leader on my table as well, and I think it was 10 players paid with 2 tables of 6 left. I find rockets, make a small raise, get reraised, shove, and get called by pocket cowboys. K on the turn, and I'm out of it!
What is your main goal in Poker?
To have fun and learn to play a variety of games.
A one line word of advice you’d give to a new player?
Be aggressive, it confuses the hell out of people.
Your favourite hand?? (If you want to reveal it!!)
Hmmm... Razz I REALLY like (A2)K, because people have no idea what you're doing when you raise with it, but the A2 gives you some chance of taking down pots. Hold'em I rarely care what hands I get, as most people who've played me have noticed!
Favourite Poker Site?
Love Pokerstars these days, especially with the Triple Draw added. I really enjoy the HORSE and HOSE games there as well.
You enter the Big Brother house – who would be your three ideal housemates??
Hmmm... Shane MacGowan, for a drinking buddy.Willie Nelson, to provide entertainment.Keira Knightley, for conversation. (Just conversation, honest!)
Which TV/Film actor would play you in a movie?
Johnny Depp, the classiest actor of his generation.
One thing you are scared of ?
The number 13, for some bizarre reason. (I just KNOW there's gonna be some weird raises next time people play me once they've read this!!)
What is your pornstar name? (Name of first pet followed by mothers maiden name)
Monkey Edwards (Never had pets so had to use a cuddly toy from when I was 3!)
Worst record you have ever bought?
Ummm... probably has to be Westlife's double A side, I Have A Dream/Seasons in the Sun
You’ve just won the lottery. What’s the first thing you buy for yourself ??
The most expensive champagne I can find!
