4. When did you start playing poker? 2009. Brief break for Uni and Law School, return to action 2011.
5. Do you prefer tournaments or cash games? Tournaments. Incompetent at cash!
6. What has been your best result or finest moment? GUKPT Goliath, Aug 2013. Lost a monster pot aipf and was left with one BB and one ante. 5pm on Day 1. Ground the living daylights out of that one blind and not only made day two, but cashed. Don't mess with a Bromley, Poker Gods!
7. What are your poker strengths? Heads-up play.
8. What are your poker weaknesses? Never getting to said heads-up play, other than HU Sit-N-Go's!
9. What one thing will the community not know about you? Given the way my life lives out on social media, I am not sure there is anything that the community doesn't know about me?!
10. And finally... Your embarrassing moment.... SPT Nottingham, circa 2011. Three-way pot with 'A.N. Other' and Sky's very own 'Julian Thew'. Flop a set in position. Bet all the streets before the river brings the flush I was worried about. Face a huge bet on the river. Make the hero call and turn the cards over, looking for who had got that very flush. Hadn't realised the board had paired and I'd housed up. Julian Thew laughs insanely and then TWEETS my embarrasing incident (tagging me in) to the whole poker world. "Nicest Guy in Poker" ... pfft?!
