This year I am making special arrangements for the chef at Nobu to deliver exclusive room service for my faithful hound Zasko at Crown in Melbourne. Patrik Antonius only drinks Fiji Water – Zasko goes mad if anybody gives him water that isn’t Evian – he can taste the difference. His brother TJ is the same.

Things started well for me at Aussie Millions 2011. I already visited some tennis matches which is always good for me to see these players.
As former semi-pro player and coach I love to see tennis live. I also had good seats in the 4th row directly behind the baseline which is much better than beside the court. Back to poker.
I got a quite soft table with players who are respecting my...
Neil McFayden (NEzyWOut on PartyPoker tables) has just come back from a jet boat ride in St Kilda. “It’s a great way to unwind on my day off,” said the English professional, who has been making a name for himself on the online and live circuits in the past three years.
McFayden, 28, from London has made it to day two at the Aussie Millions after playing Day 1A and sits with 45,000...
To cut a long story short, I busted from the Aussie Millions main event yesterday. I guess you can’t win it every year… right?
It was a really strange day that ended somewhat anticlimactically when Gavin Griffin knocked me out, but there were definitely a couple highs in there including getting it in with a set of kings to a turned straight and making my full house on the river and...
Check out the video below. I took TJ, a German Shepherd mate of Zasko’s into the $100k buy-in event at the Aussie Millions but alas, despite the fact that he made me feel so relaxed at the table, it was bike time for me on day one. All-in with kings and I was crushed by a set of fours.
I cannot explain how great it was to have a dog sat in a basket with me on the feature table. He...
It’s been a little while since my last blog post. Since then I’ve been taking it easy and trying to get myself in a good mindset for the Aussie Millions.
I’ve kept the poker playing to a minimum, although, I did go reasonably deep in the APPT Grand Final in Sydney.
In that, I busted in around 30th place when I got it in with to Daniel Negreanu’s . I had a short medium stack...
Welcome to the world of PartyPoker.mutt.
So it’s official, I will have a dog with me when I play the 100k event at the Aussie Millions on Saturday. Before you ask, it is not Zasko, there were some visa and security issues but his mate TJ will be coming along to be my lucky mascot.
TJ is an intelligent and obedient dog specifically trained by the best in the business to be my faithful...
The satellites to the Aussie Millions are starting this weekend and given that at about this time last year I won my seat through a $640 PartyPoker satellite and that I then went on to win the tournament, I wanted to give my thoughts on the qualification process.
A good bankroll management rule that I made up when I was starting out was that I couldn’t enter a tournament where...
