Meet 32Red Poker Player ”ShipItDonk89″ and read here about his adventures during the Poker Festival Newcastle 12th - 13th April 2008…

I am Dave or username beano672003 on 32Red Poker.

I have been playing poker for nearly 4 yrs now and found it quite easy to get hooked being a bit of a fish.

I don’t get to play much live poker but play online whilst my other half is watching Corrie and Emmerdale etc. I qualified for my second festival on another site along with my 18 yr old son and even managed to win another ticket for his friend and gladly accepted the offer of wearing 32Red Poker clothing having final tabled a couple of times in their “Be the Bounty” tournament. I by no means profess to be a great player, but just go with my read and instincts and sometimes make daft calls but my explanation for this when I was filmed going into the tournament when the interviewer said “beano the fish” was I put this down to distractions namely my 5 young kids as it is often easier to just press call!!!
