I’m back in France again after a short rest in England after playing at the Euro Finals of Poker in Paris. In my last blog I told you about the small cash I had in the 1k event. Over the next couple of days, I played their 2k event but frustratingly busted in 25th place (with only 20 getting paid).
I really enjoyed playing at the Aviation Club. It’s a singular place. I...
I’ve been playing poker at the Aviation Club in Paris for the last week.
I busted out on day 2 of the 1k Silver EFOP event in 17th or 18th place which was in the money and tantalisingly close to the bigger payouts.
It was a tough event in some respects. I’m not exactly well known for being a night owl so any poker tournament that doesn’t even start until 8pm is going...

I think I may have had one too many pints of Guinness in Dublin at the WPT because I’ve really been paying for it this week. I spent some time in England, sniffly and croaky-throated, trying desperately to keep this cold/flu/laryngitis/ebola hybrid at bay, but it seems to have caught up with me anyway.
I think that it was probably worth it though because Ireland was so much fun....
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...
