Born 30 something years ago into a card-playing clan in the North of England: the low-roller's poker odyssey has taken him from the school common-room via down-trodden Midlands' casinos, smoky Cotswolds pubs, celebrity Soho drinking spots and of course the ubiquitous world of cyberspace to the home of poker itself, Las Vegas. Join his search for juicy take-downs, great pot odds and the occasional back-door straight as he goes for glory.

MR. BULL WRITES
I'm not really a poker player as such. I've had my trials and tribulations on-line - I think I probably set some kind of record once for winning and losing a thousand bucks in the quickest time - and I took down a four table tournament once in the smoky basement of a Cotswolds boozer, but I'm not really a poker player. Especially now our attentions turn to the WSOP in Las Vegas. As I sit here just South of sweaty London, acclimatising to the desert heat, I find myself considering the chances of SS pulling off a Moneymaker-style coup and bringing those many million greenbacks back to baking-hot Blighty.
It may seem to many of you that for me this will be a busman's holiday. Indeed, I hope it will be. However, knowing that Vegas right now is a Hugh Hefner-style orgy of games, offering punters a thousand different ways of spunking their bankroll and filling their time, I figure that I may be a little busier than anticipated. As SS chooses from the smorgasboard of cash games, the buffet of bracelet events and of course the big one, do you honestly think he will have time, the will, or the energy to organize the minutiae which could be integral in fashioning a new online-qualifying winner of the main event? I am talking about the boring background stuff - organizing laundry, healthy eating, rest and relaxation, massage, blah blah. This will be my department. I also hope to have time to give you a flavour of the action behind the action. The weird and the wonderful, the beautiful and the banal which must surely constitute Vegas in its most important few weeks of the year. I am about to board the plane so see y'all at the circus...
