As a proud Scotsman, I had some couscous in honour of Tunisia before their game against England, and an ice cold Stella Artois in honour of Belgium, before their game against England. REALLY looking forward to the Colombia game.

Now poker sponsorships have essentially dried up I’m taking a new approach. Gonna collect every major site’s patch and demand payment for me not to wear them on tv as I get drunk and talk loudly about controversial issues. The sponsorship era is dead, long live the blackmail era

At 22 I quit my job with a negative net worth and took £1k out on a credit card and called myself a poker pro. Over a decade later and I can proudly say that in a couple more monthly payments I will have paid that 1k back.

The quintessential main event hand. 2 cunts have quads and there are still 5 people in the 12bb pot at the river.

People say there’s no karma in poker but I remember being 2/9 in FTOPS 1k multi entry w 500k to first with about £29 in my bank and using the 5 min break to look at prices for a helicopter trip back home from Nottingham so I wouldn’t have to get the train and instantly got 9th.

In my early poker career I used to feel a strong sense of entitlement and jealousy when I busted a tournament -“how the fuck is this idiot still in and I’m out, how does this moron have chips,how great must this clown have run Jesus” I still do, I just used to too. #Ambassador

In light of the recent “angling” controversy - petition to have 1 tournament a year during the series where anything goes. Angling, collusion, hand signals, the lot. All scummery allowed and indeed encouraged. Call it the “Big Purge” or the “Men Nguyen Invitational” or something

Going to let my twitter guys in on this relatively well kept secret; the daily deepstack is by far the best bar in the Rio. $200 all you can drink They bring it right to your table Service is fucking rapid. Every now and then you get a rebate at the end. You are welcome.

Honestly real name comps on Party mess with your head. You make a tight fold in a hand cos the guy’s called Colin Thompson, probably about 55, married with 4 kids then you look him up and he’s 19 and owns the “IAMFUCKINGBANANAS” account on stars

*Perfect Tournament Wishlist* Freezeout if there’s a very strong side event schedule / single re-entry if not. 8 handed as standard, 9 at a push. NEVER 10. Big blind ante, never reduces. Strong online and live satellite offering with “must play” prizes. Shotclock 👌

Live poker: you iso a limper and the flop comes down. You examine your hand, it’s possibilities, straight draws, back door flush draws, scare cards that provide equity for multiple street bluffs. Anyway while you’ve been doing all that your opponent has donk shoved all in.

Vegas PSA: If someone gets moved to your table with a lot of chips, it is your duty to remark on this fact as they sit down. The player who has been moved with all the chips is then to reply “I had even more before!” We all then have a chuckle and continue the game. Thanks.
