I’ve been invited to join the panel of judges for the European Poker Awards in Paris in January, held at the absolutely gorgeous Aviation Club de France. It’s a real honour and I was definitely surprised and happy to be asked. It feels like a big responsibility, so I’ll be considering the possible candidates carefully and trying to make the best possible decision....
We’re bringing the New Year in with style here at PartyPoker folks, and so for all of January 2012 you’ll be able to play multi-table tournaments and pay zero in rake.
Yes you read that bit right zero, nothing, zip, nada in rake! Now just how good does that sound? And so with no fees to pay that means 100% of your money is heading straight into the prize pool.
It’s...
When I was a kid, if people acted with poor manners then you’d often hear them reprimanded with a ‘What, were you raised in a barn or something?’
Now, I have known a fair number of barns in my day. I grew up in an agricultural area. Barns were everywhere so I knew them well and I certainly wouldn’t have wanted people to think I was RAISED in one.
Oh, how things have...
It’s taken me a couple of weeks but I’ve finally got myself all moved into my new home in Santa Barbara and I’m so happy with it. It’s nice to catch my breath a bit as my trip to London last month was fairly intense and pretty exhausting. As I told Short Stacked Radio last week, I definitely conducted one of my worst ever player interviews there during the filming of the Party...
Oh, it’s a video blog! Fun :) it’s a bit out of date as I’m no longer playing WPT Prague & WPT Venice in December but glgl to those who are! You can qualify to these events on...
Hello from Las Vegas! I’m here at the Rio getting ready to work on the final table for the World Series of Poker. We’re actually airing the final table over the next few days on ESPN2 and ESPN on a ‘same-day’ basis – so with only a 15 minute delay!
This is a pretty incredible development for the WSOP but it certainly means a lot more pressure on everyone...
I’ve been a bit quiet this month as most of my energy has gone into settling back into Santa Barbara and finding my new place.
Yes, after 4 months of travelling, hotels and couch surfing; I am actually rejoining the adult world and getting a place of my own! I managed to find this quirky little artist studio/barn and I’m really excited to get moved in.
My lease doesn’t start until...
After a fantastic trip to Europe, I’m back in California for a few weeks to rest and relax before my next big work trip in November.
One of the first things I did when I got back, was go for Mexican food. Three times. In two days. What can I say? I am a huge fan of food in general and Mexican is one of my favourites! I think I could survive on guacamole if I had to.
So I’m...
Sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day. PartyPoker sent me to Dublin, Ireland this week for a short 24 hours to do a few interviews and talk about the first ever World Poker Tour event which will be held there in January 2012.
I’ve always loved Dublin but have never managed to have enough time to explore it properly. My plan for January is to get here with some...
