Ladies, Lucky Girl & Hopes.

redtooth_small I was kindly asked to represent Redtooth poker in the latest leg of the Betfred Ladies Tour last week in Birmingham! My first reaction is always the same – no chance. I dunno why I have such a hang up with Ladies only multi table tournaments? I have gone over these reasons time and time again in the past and the arguments are getting boring. There is absolutely no reason that I can see that these tournaments should exist but yet they do and it looks like they are here to stay.

I understand though how a lot of Ladies can get alot of satisfaction out of playing these events, and they are great for the less experienced and the more intimidated by the loud booming guys usually found in casino tournaments. I have found my problem now – I just have problems reading women at the table. They perplex me and give me earache. I am just far used to reading men and frankly, they are just easier table mates! So it comes as no surprise to report that I lasted no longer than 2 hours and I tried really hard, I really did.

FTP_Official_LogoOnBlack The best news I have heard this week is that Full Tilt have sponsored me to play in the much anticipated $5,000 English Poker Open at my local Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham! It is awesome news and am really excited by the line up, prize pool and competition that are coming over. I’m sure there will be a few extra big names coming last minute too before they hit London for the WSOPE & EPT.

The locals are buzzing at the thought of seeing the likes of Phil Helmuth and Doyle Brunson in Nottingham. I hope as many name players as possible come to support this event and show the big guns what an awesome venue Dusk Till Dawn is and that poker is not just all about London – the Midlands can rock too!!
