The Sun Poker Championships

[brael]

I've sent them answers to the questions they put to me and thought I'd put them here so everyone can get a read before they're put on the website. I haven't included my picture in this thread as it's too damn scary for even me to look at! :ok

Congratulations on securing a seat in the Sun Poker Championship live final to be held at The Palm Beach Casino, <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />London on Saturday 3^rd December 2005.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

For now, you need do nothing more than to revel in your success; you will be contacted nearer the time with full details of the final.

In the meantime however, The Sun Online would like to run an article on each of the qualifiers. If you are happy to be featured on The Sun website, please could you answer the following questions and, if possible, forward a photo of yourself to me;

We understand PLBrael2 isn't your real name, so how did you come up with it?

PL stands for punterslounge.com, the worlds best betting forum! Brael is a combination of my surname and my wife’s name, Elaine. The 2 is because I’ve got so many of these registered now it’s the only way I can keep using it!

What do you do for a living?

Purchasing Officer

May we ask how old are you?

38

What's your favourite poker moment?

Heads-up in The Sun Weekly Qualifier Final when I called my opponent with a pair of 3’s and won!

What's your worst poker moment?

Finding out that the date for this final clashes with my football team’s, Greenock Morton, home league clash with their rivals for promotion, Partick Thistle!

Do you have a poker hero?

No, but I do have respect for anyone who plays the game and puts up tens of thousands of their own cash to try and turn it into a couple of million. That must take nerves of steel… it certainly wouldn’t be me!

When did you start playing poker?

About 6 months ago.

What made you want to start playing poker?

Curiosity. I could see it taking-off online and just wanted to give it a go.

How was your first game, did you do well?

Difficult to say as I was clueless then! It was a ‘play money’ game anyway so if it went badly it really didn’t matter.

How often do you play poker?

About 5 or 6 times a week depending on when the kids will let me use the PC!

What's your favourite book?

Anything that’s going to get me through my current studies pronto!

Do you have a favourite film?

No… anything with a good story line that catches the imagination works for me.
