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.

And then there were two
Just Sean and I eating blueberry waffles, before a final swim and a race across the Mojave to Bobby Transville in downtown LA. I am feeling good - I know what action needs to be taken. Poker got me into this and poker can get me out. I put $400 onto the account, having donked off with some unlucky Omaha outdraws. A few hours of play later and it's over $1100, so the future's bright - it always is if you want it that way. I have made some friends for life, with options to visit Texas, Kiwiland and Thailand, and have learnt more about poker in the last two weeks from these guys than I have in the last two years. I may yet stay the distance - my flight is booked for the 15th and there's some money to be made in this ole screen here, plus an adventure or two, maybe even a return to good ole Vegas - I hear the Rhino season may be upon us soon - probably when Tom busts the main event (hopefully not til November)..... I also have a suitcase that's has been resident in New York for two and a half years so I should get it fedexed over, which will necessitate the delay - there's some good stuff in there. That's it for now - thank you my 53 loyal readers. thank you Paul for this great house

"youngsta"! I've been touring 34 years - different game but prbably spent the same!
Plan for next year - put me down for a fiver!
Wonderful writing - definitely put me down for a copy! If not about poker then a rough guide to the wildish west!
Sink a few tinnies and enjoy the last days. You can give me a lesson when you're back
Sorry its taken this long to post a comment - I have written before but hadn't signed up!
