I have a great time when I play poker. And I’m known as a ‘trash talker’ by many, that is part of my game. I use my mouth as well as my poker skills to win when I’m in a competition. I’m really a soft spoken, warm hearted individual and never hold any malice or […]

The title in the Singapore Betfair Asian Poker Tournament had my name written all over it.  When I came in today, I knew I was going to win. I said so in my blog before it all began, and again during the tournament, and, even though it’s hard to describe or explain, sometimes I just know I will win […]

I went in as the favorite, with the odd makers for this event placing me ahead of Gus Hansen so I wanted to prove it.  The first day was cool.  I just cruised though it.  Today was the day where I had to make the stand and here is how it went.
I had 3.5k (about […]

I started out really badly. After two levels I was down to 5k from the 10k start with just no chance at all. I was at a table with three complete donkeys. What a table! I could not hit anything but fortunately I found patience, I played, I waited, and I plugged away.

I met Tomas Kremser, the […]

I arrived in Amsterdam on the morning of the tournament; a two hour flight from Vilnius.  I had a big break, away from the noise and stress of life, and was ready for the action that was going to start at 3pm. The Amsterdam tournament managed another record prize purse - it just keeps growing - this is the 10th […]

I am in Lithuania but not for long.  I am getting ready to go to Amsterdam for the $5,000 buy-in event and then I jump a flight to Singapore where I will play another $5,000 buy-in event which will be the biggest - ever - poker tournament in Asia.
After that, I am off to Australia for the European winter and […]
