The very next day we started the 24 hour high stakes cash game with me, Devil Fish, Hellmuth, Gerasimov, […]

After that, I am off to Australia for the European winter and […]

My impression of the Japanese people in general was fantastic. Everybody in Japan, be it in restaurants, shops, or anywhere you go were just very helpful, and thankful, and it was just a very different culture.
It was very interesting to go to Japan, and visit. I will go back there next year to […]
