My garage is a converted Poker Room.

Why did you convert your poker room into a garage? Displays a definite lack of commitment IMHO

Good Idea about the profiles - will do mine when I have a bit of time

I really enjoy playing for Luton online although not much success yet (16th last time out) so looking forard to getting some points for the team soon.

[fatbloke8888]

Here we go then after some time and consideration:

Name: Stuart Fordham
Alias: On Betfair i am Fatblokey and on Pokerstars i am Fatbloke888 (for obvious reasons as now people have met me they know why i have the fatbloke prefix)
No children as of yet but have "the wife" which she is commonly now known as in poker circles (thank god she can"t play).  Own 9 racing greyhounds and also in a syndicate that has half a dozen racehorses.

Not played that much live but had a go run the European"s last year at Luton and managed to get 4th place (apologies Richard for limping in with JJ on final table). Had a great time and should have gone with my gut instinct when down to the last 4 and pushed all in with pocket 55"s but bottled it when 2 others went all in before me.  AJ v AQ and yes a 5 came on the turn.  Never mind still enjoyed it.  Won limit omaha"s on pokerstars and seem to be playing very well in $3000 and $6000 nl tournaments with top 6 finishes in everything on Betfair plus final tabled a few times for Luton in league competitions.  Biggest win $5000 on Pokerstars (paid for most of the greyhounds with it)

After this weekend in Nottingham i found out i play omaha much better online than tournaments so will be sticking to NL live appearances from now on.  Congrats to all the Luton players who played much better than me over the weekend.

Glad "the wife" allowed me last year to play for Luton and hopefully one time i can go on and win a league game !  Luton team are great bunch of people to play alongside and enjoy the banter during league competitions
