What's up guys. This seemed like the best time to finally host this. Hopefully it will be fun and interesting for all!
An intro about myself:
I'm 27. I've played poker for many years. I started taking it more seriously about 7 years ago, playing it part-time professionally since around 4 years ago, and then full-time for around the last 2 years.
I'm a mixed game specialist, and I play/have played basically every game and format possible, MTTs, cash, HU SnGs etc, and I have done for years.
I have pretty much grinded/specialised in many different games at different times throughout my career. Which I believe has made me a more well-rounded player.
I think mixed games are generally more fun, more interesting and often more lucrative.
I am/was also a freelance poker writer. I technically still am, but I just haven't had the opportunity or time to do it in a while.
I worked for Bluff Europe and for High Stakes Database, writing reports and articles, and I also interviewed many poker players, such as Phil Galfond, Matt Hawrilenko and Matt Ashton.
So that's largely why I considered myself just as a part-time poker pro for a while, because I still had some other income from elsewhere, and I didn't play as much as most pros do.
I also do some poker coaching.
I originally studied to do Product Design, and was going to do a guitar performance/music degree, which unfortunately never happened (but fortunate in terms of poker).
Results-wise, most notably I won both FLO8 events back to back this year at the World Series (the $1500 and the $10k), as well as winning my first WSOP bracelet last year in the $1500 2-7. So I'm now the UK's leading bracelet holder (
). I also won a $2k SCOOP High title a couple of months ago.
This year was my first WSOP where I stayed for the whole series and played everything. It was my 3rd year in a row going to the WSOP, and on my first year I just bricked everything.
I also travel the EPT circuit a fair bit (with success), which I often look forward to from online grinding. I prefer playing mixed games live, and it's always an awesome social atmosphere.
I'm looking forward to answering some questions
