UKIPT Manchester

I’ve weaseled my way into the press room here at the G Casino Manchester for the UKIPT event sponsored by Pokerstars. Over the next 4 days i’ll be speaking to players and uploading audio from the pros at the event. If you’ve got any questions you want answering let me know. Several Pokerstars pros will be in attendance such as John Duthie. Keep up to date with the action via UKIPT twitter account http://twitter.com/UKIPT .
As for the press room itself, it has a high beard to non beard ratio, clearly a lot of overworked reporters with no time to shave. The venue itself is one of Grosvenor casino’s brand new G Casino brand. Large poker room with restaurant and licensed bar, so that’s me sorted for the next few days. Hopefully at some point the cash games will start and there will be PLO in addition to the NL hold-em.
Anyone needing to message me can do via skype, just add ‘ribbo.com’ and say where you’re from :)

It's that time of the year again...

Yes it’s the only time of the year when I play holdem :)
It happens for 1 day only and involves the Pokerstars blogger tournament!

I finished 3rd the very first year it happened (and I was screwed from winning when allin as slight chip leader with A8 losing to QT)

It’s always good fun and Stars are giving a couple of prizes out for people who twitter or blog during the tournament. Lucky I keep my twitter up to date as well!
Click this link to go to my twitter page!
I ended up winning a 24 inch Dell widescreen monitor for 3rd place (as opposed to the pokerstars cruise) which at the time was about £1000 to buy. A couple years later the price dropped to £300 for the same monitor. Crazy how cheap it’s all gotten recently.

Online Poker

I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker! The WBCOOP is a free online Poker tournament open to all Bloggers, so register on WBCOOP to play.

Registration code: 464608

Happy New Year...

… and all that crap. It’s 2 hours to go before 2010, just got off the phone with an Australian friend whom celebrated the new year 8 hours ago and let me just say for the record, making this absolutely crystal clear, the Australians have little concept of self control when it comes to the consumption of alcohol. Put bluntly, the guy is rat-arsed and just staggered in the house to hit the sack at 7am.
I shall be tucked up in bed with a hot cocoa at 30 minutes past midnight. I would go earlier but the fireworks from the cool people who live all around me will keep me awake for a while.
Hope everyone has a good 2010 unless you intend to sit down in the same poker games as me in which case I hope you get screwed and lose all your money, preferably to me. If you can’t lose it to me, at least don’t give it to the table nit because i’ll never get it off him.

Seven down, one to go.

Episode 7 of my first series is all wrapped up, but i’m still after 1 last person to coach…
Amazing that six people all wanted coaching after I had done the first 6 videos but none of them came forward over the period of 3 weeks to actually record the session.
Maybe they just don’t want to take advantage of my kind nature. That said, if you want the last spot for PLO coaching, send an email to coaching@ribbo.com making sure you’re available this week and have roughly 15 hand histories to discuss plus a few topics relevant to you.

Some of you may not read bluff magazine, but for a few who got hold of a copy with Phil Ivey on the cover (isn’t that most months) there is an article from me in there.
For those who didn’t, there is an online version here

Upcoming Series

A while back I offered people free hour of coaching in exchange for wishing me happy birthday on twitter. As with everything cool in life, there is always a catch. That catch is the hour of coaching being turned into a deuces cracked video series.
So think carefully about what you want to talk about. If you still want your coaching, don’t share anything with me that you don’t want everyone else seeing. :)

If 8 of the 10 people don’t take me up on this then spots will be open, if only there was some way of finding out who else would be interested….
