Quick Fire Questions
Why play live over online?
Ultimately, Poker is not a game about the cards. The game is about telling stories. The best Players determine what the other Players’ stories really mean. Is it a truth or lie? There’s a fantastic human element in live games that doesn’t always translate into online Poker.
The best thing about working in our Poker room?
Being able to help somebody really enjoy their evening. I enjoy hosting. Putting a smile on someone’s face. People come for the Poker and stay for the people!
Advice to a young Poker player hoping to go pro?
Learn some compassion. It’s key to understand you can do everything right and still lose. And play within your limits. Make sure you have more than enough money to support.
Most memorable hand you’ve seen?
The famous hand at the 2008 WSOP Main Event. Two players all in at the river – quad aces losing to a royal flush. The worst bad beat ever!
Your favourite hand?
The 4/7 of clubs. Or any suited two gappers. They can be a dagger to the big hands, such as Kings or Aces!
Tips for the perfect bluff?
"Would it get past your mother? Own it. Believe. The best bluffers are selling you a story that started long before the hand."
