I would consider the above my main tournament poker playing accomplishments, however, I have won many smaller tournaments and had money finishes over the years all around the world.

I began playing poker at the age of 15 in London, England. At that time, the main game was Pot Limit Stud. At the age of 24, I won my first major poker tournament and was hooked. I spent the next several years learning about tournaments and in the early nineties attended my first WSOP in Las Vegas.

I have spent the past 6 years or so regularly playing major poker tournaments against the likes of T.J Cloutier, Phil Hellmuth, Johnny Chan, Men "The Master" Nguyen and Scotty Nguyen and other World Class players. I have learned a lot about tournament play and I believe I am qualified to pass on advice to other players.

My class will focus on real hands that are played on the PokerSchool software and the format will be revealed in the first analysis on November 12th 2001.

In 1999 after the WSOP Tina (my wife) and I decided to get into the internet and create a business that would

Be Lucky,
