1 - WHO ARE YOU?
Graham Codd, Just an average guy trying to make it to the bigger games
2 - POST A PICTURE OF YOURSELF OR A LINK TO ONE (APAT OR OTHER)
Um, there"s
one here and also
one here3 - WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?
Living in Bracknell, Berkshire.
4 - TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF?
I"m married and we have a wonderful daughter aged 3 and a half. I work with my Father and we have a trophy and engraving business in Wokingham. I enjoy sport, and I"d like to say playing, but if you"ve met me, you know I"m lying, but I enjoy watching football, golf, tennis, darts, rugby, pretty much anything that is on when I get time to watch it. I support A r s enal football club.
5 - WHAT IS YOUR POKER BACKGROUND?
Been playing since October 2005 on Betfair as I use it as my bookies. Started on cheap stt"s and slowly moved on to mtt"s which I much prefer. I only play small stakes tournaments but am hoping to have a decent enough bankroll to move up a level soon. I don"t usually play cash games but have been known to from time to time.
6 - WHAT IS YOUR PLAYING STYLE?
I"m quite a tight agressive player.
7 - WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE POKER PLAYER AND WHY?
From the Celeb players, I like Daniel Negreanu, I think he has a good approach to things, but a lot of the people I like in poker are just regular guys that have done well.
8 - WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ONLINE POKER SITE AND WHAT IS YOUR POKER ID THERE?
PokerStars (Graham0573), Blonde Poker (SiloGraham) and Blue Square (Bokeh)
9 - WHAT ARE YOUR POKER ACHIEVEMENTS?
The biggest thing I"ve done was to qualify for the GUKPT Blackpool which was excellent. Other than that, I"ve had a few nice cashes, although I am yet to break the $1000 barrier. My main achievement is to actually have a bankroll at the moment from my deposits when I started off and hopefully I won"t ever have to deposit my hard earned direct from my bank account again. I don"t however have a live poker bankroll which I use my normal money for. Going forward I"d like a seperate live roll
10 - WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE ABOUT LIVE POKER CURRENTLY, THAT YOU WOULD CHANGE?
I would say the lack of decent tourneys at a low level, but I started playing at the Western and whilst they"re not the best tourneys in the world, they are a) freezeouts and b) have a decent enough structure. I love live poker, but I need to play more of it before I can find things I"m not happy with.
11 - HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT APAT?
Via Blonde Poker
12 -WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT APAT TOURNAMENTS, STANDARD OF PLAY AND STRUCTURE?
Great! Despite being a member since day 1, I"ve only played the regionals so far. I"m in for Cardiff so I"ll be able to answer this better after, although I can"t see how it can be anything other than superb!
13 - HAVE YOU PLAYED AT AN APAT LIVE EVENT AND IF SO, WHAT WAS MOST MEMORABLE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE?
Umm no, first one coming up
14 - WHAT ARE YOUR MAIN INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF POKER?
Family, Photography, Watching Sports, "Socialising"
15 - WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK OR FILM?
Whatever I"ve just read or seen, so it"s Harry Potter"s latest effort and Transformers at the moment! I actually prefer these tv seasons to films though, 24, Prison Break and Spooks are my favourites.
16 - WHAT THREE MUSIC ALBUMS WOULD YOU TAKE TO A DESERT ISLAND WITH YOU?
Wonderstuff 8 Legged Groove Machine
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Mothers Milk
System of a Down - Toxicity
That"s hard, if I had to choose today, I"d go with these. Can"t I take my iPod instead?
17 - FINALLY, WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE FOR YOUR FELLOW APAT MEMBERS?
Hi guys, nice to meet you
