Best Poker moment?
You always remember your first win! Mine was making 1,700 in 9 hours starting from 20 on a 1-2 table. Winning Graveyard special a few times. Both Ladders (treble chance & money tree). Recently Qualifying for the Poker Cruise 2008. I won the satellite first, to qualify for the 50,000 monthly tournament (out of 180). Then I came 2nd out of 648 to qualify for cruise package :o) [update] The cruise 2008 was an experience of a lifetime, can't wait for the next one. If you were on the 2008 poker cruise - I am the geezer that proposed Ladbrokes closing party ;o)You can see my proposal on the cruise in Youtube.com, do search for 'proposing on the Ladbrokes Poker Cruise',
Any 'off-line' tourney wins?
Not really an off-line player, but I think we all have had the occasional win amongst friends and fellow students at home or down the local pub ! My locals are Carlos and Kays in Hereford and Riskys in Eastbourne.
If you play in a local Poker card room, which one?
Texas Hold Em Need big balls No limit gets my adrenaline going optimally compared to other poker games.
Best Poker advice?
There is always somebody better than you ! Be patient, go with your gut instinct, don't play if your are on a tilt and be aggressive but most of all enjoy it and smile ! can't stand the whinging people who moan about Ladbrokes being fixed or they have lost loads to bad luck or rivers!! Watch Nebuchad, Nesta123 and Dared at the Big boys table (cash), GirlWonder and Jaffacake for Tourneys, Intenseexpress and Smackgirl on the mid tables (my usual tables!)
Any comments on Ladbrokes Poker?
Fantastic site, great people, friendly co-operative staff and simply the best of the best! if you find a poker site with better banking please let me know - I defy you ;o) A great big thanks to Terry and Jo Sherring - Ladbrokes Poker cruise organisers.
Which player at Ladbrokes Poker do you most respect and why?
Anyone who can take a bad beat and take it on the chin ! Remember doo-doo happens and that's poker ;o) Post cruise 2008, I met so many different people, some are great, some are mad, some are witted but most of all its groovy to be part of the Ladbrokes community. Gotta pipe up and show a special respect for my Best man 4king_gr8 ;o)
