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.

100 Minutes and Counting
I feel well rested - I have had my usual breakfast without needing to leave my room - it comes equipped with a fridge, which I have equipped with yogurts, juices, fruit etc. Tinten (they have corrected the spelling of his name) is still on top with a cool $260,000. I notice Julian Gardner is down in 7th and a character called Steve Austin is third - wasn't he the $6 million dollar man - part man part poker machine? A lot of big names have bitten the dust, including Teddy Sheringham, although I notice, mind you, Dennis Waterman is in there with just over $30 grand. They seem to be reckoning that the field is too big for all the survivors of Day One to play on Day Two, so Day Two has been split. Other than that not much to report - I have banged my usual assortment of performance-enhancing pills...and am sipping on a herbal tea calling itself Clarity (thank you to my friend Seb at Pukka Herbs) - it's job description is to focus and uplift, which seems to fit the bill. I am equipped also with my shades and a baseball cap - I'll take any advantage I can get. Thank you Jason for your comments - I am feeling the force. They say this is the luckiest day of the year. I am at table 104 on seat 2 and will report back later, hopefully much later.....
