Re-cap: My name’s Stephen and I won the 32 Days of Christmas Big Freeroll at 32Red Poker (you can read my reaction, here.). They jetted me off to the Phlippines to experience my first offline poker tournament. The following is my experiences in Manila…

Flights over to Manila went like clockwork. The Singapore Airways staff were wonderful…always helpful, always smiling and always there when needed. The taxi ride from Manila airport to the hotel, however, was a bloody nightmare… Each road has three lanes of traffic but there seemed to different rules of the road for each one.  It was constant dodging in and out of traffic and cutting people up with a blast on the horn. Pedestrians were another added problem…they just wandered around in the middle of the road hoping to get to the other side. Scary stuff… (more…)

Hey guys, I’ve just busted from the latest GUKPT event in rainy Bolton, in just the third level of the day. I wanted to describe the crucial exit hand, partly to give myself a chance to think about the hand, but mainly to share with you the kind of thinking I try to do after I have made a mistake in a tournament. Sorry that I have written the hand in note form, but I hope it’s hopeful to keep a running tab of the pot size, and my thoughts on the hand. (more…)

From Freeroll to the WSOP, Dom recounts his first day at the biggest poker event in the world…

Hi everyone,

I made it throught day 1. 47850 chips after a full day of play. Could have been more but was playing really tight and didnt take any risks. I was all-in once with a caller early in the tourney. I was on Ace king and the board gave me 2 pair. He was small stack and when I went all-in he called me straight away. I got real scare but he turned a flush draw and the turn and river held and gave me the 12500 pot. (more…)
